Are the global climate changes cause for alarm?

I have been reading Climate Courage by Andreas Karelas upon finding it at a bargain store. This matter of global warming I had come to believe was something which has been blown out of proportion by the media. Could it be a collective hallucination that human industry is causing all these environmental changes? I have a feeling many want to deny the harmful effect humans have on the environment as it's too much of an inconvenience for them to think otherwise. On the other hand, I have been persuaded that some environmentalists are fabricating information to create a sense of alarm. Carbon dioxide has been this great obsession when it's not truly a toxin and I have yet to see any clear evidence that it's worthy of all the media attention and alarmist propaganda about how it's harming the global environment.

After what I have seen what climate change has done to the Pacific Northwest in the United States in the past almost 30 years, only a fool would deny its existence.

@NativePortlander1970 When I left Miami 30 years ago, King Tides did not flood S Miami...now they do.

@Neoerectus I saw a youtube doc a few years ago how entire areas of Miami have been built up to escape those tides.

@NativePortlander1970 They have raised roadbeds, BUT oolite limestone is porous. Walls will NOT stop the rise. I was a state's forester for Dade and Monroe Counties years ago.

At first there will be islands, but in time the sea rise will overcome it all. half of southern Florida will go under water. Frankly, no more restoration funds should be spent in the Everglades.
