Climate is always changing. The earth is a very dynamic place. No need to get worked up over it.
Heh, funny that. Climate is always changing. OK so next you are going to say resources will never be depleted. Carbon based fuels does not effect the air quality. Perto-chemical based GMO foods are good for you.
I know people only think of themselves in the current state. Mortgage, hockey team, feeding 12 kids. What of 40-50 years from now. Our kids kids. What will they say of us? Dumas's....Our time is now.
As for Nurse OrangeDuck, there will be survivors. The ones that didn't use religion or science as a crutch or an excuse.
For an over privileged white man to say everything is fine, carry-on says a lot Try living in a place affected by extreme weather from climate change.

Spidey I like you, even if you may in fact be one of those previously mentioned...
I don't give a fuck what me great great grandson thinks of me. Fucker probably won't think anything anyways. Thinking will have long been replaced.
You sound like a jaded Canuck fan
One is, at this point, reminded of "The Hockey Stick Illusion: Climategate and the Corruption of Science" by Andy Montford.
It's a story about climate science, deception, greed, lust and...unbridled enthusiasm. You see Spider, Andy was a simple country boy... you might say a cockeyed optimist... who got himself mixed up in the high stakes game of climatology and the politics of science.

My advice is you forget about 'global warming' for awhile and.... chill.
You are starting to sound like one of those "END IS NEAR" sign-toters.
Relax buddy, perhaps an ice-age-starting meteor is on its way even as we type.
*thinks about what StrongeMauve said....*
Naaaaaaaaaaaaah
This shyte rocks Doc, I'm just a little old cartoonist, butt, it's a great time to be alive, I went back to school to study green architecture and renewable energy technology, food security, sustainability, permaculture...it's all good. I'm pretty passionate about this stuff. And now I make my living doing it; meetings with policy makers/politicians, community leaders, company owners........working with some amazing peeps and wicked projects...I fucking love it.....
I'm fine with people putting their heads in the sand and deniers and apocalypse rats and green tree fuckers, old dirty white men...no one is gonna change...but there is change a foot...it doesn't take a failed tennis pro to figure sustainability is an opportunity for our society to build positive communities, grow ethical businesses and implement green tech
Sounds like an end is nigher eh?! It isn't near (or in the mirror) it IS here and I'm good
You wanna read some good stuff on it instead of the usual mainstream stuff...

I remember learning this was a fable in grade 8 (before that point I believed the fable was true).
Thank you Mr McKay!
Now I'm wondering how many folks out there believe the fable true to this very day (apparently there are many).
Fable: At some point in time the prevailing scientific in Western Civilization view was that the Earth is flat.
As a matter of fact the idea was never even entertained in scholarly circles.
Hmmm one wonders if one should start a Common Misconceptions thread.
In an example of critical thinking me old math teacher poked that myth in the eye...
"In 240 BC, the mathematician and astronomer Eratosthenes of Alexandria was able to calculate the size of the Earth by knowing that on a particular day, the Sun was directly overhead at noon at one city, and several degrees off the vertical at noon in another."
