Think about it: You can't burn a billion years worth of stored sunlight (which is what oil and other hydrocarbons are) in 150 years and not dump a monstrously large amount of kcals into the environment. Physics says there is man-made global warming. Anyone who can't understand that is probably mentally impaired.
The question is what happens with the kcals which are dumped into the greater system. And, in particular, how big a problem is that versus other KNOWN problems such as:
(1) microplastics
(2) PFAs, neurotoxins, endocrine disruptors, and many other TOXIC chemicals which are being dumped into the environment.
(3) peak oil and the whole problem of how to power a society which requires ever increasing energy & resource consumption, and concommitant "man-made global warming" in order to not collapse and kill almost everyone.
(4) Many, many other proximate problems, now including idiots playing with genetic material and dumping it into the environment and into the human body.
(5) Many, many other proximate problems, including privacy and castrating government in a growing, totalitarian, surveillance state.
On my list, "global warming" is OBVIOUSLY not something worth devoting resources to until all the much more dangerous, proximate, and more tractible problems are dealt with.
IF and when we deal with the top 99 or so problems, and no other more pressing problems arise, we will probably find that #100 AKA "man-made global warming" has magically been resolved.
Otherwise, we can adapt to "climate change" in the way all life has been doing successfully for hundreds of millions of years, by MOVING AND ADAPTING.
