@KneAuxBody The people who were/are concerned with global warming, melting ice caps, and a rise in sea levels did not ”promise you are going to die”, at least none of the articles I read were that silly and histrionic. What they did say was that it would take a long time, and that human activity was accelerating the process. That we wouldn’t likely see the impact until it was too late.
Who is “they” and how did “they (get) rich”, exactly?
Ironcially, I remember seeing that one of the problems we face is that humans are selfish, short sighted, and short lived creatures that are likely to be dismissive of this issue because of these shortcomings. The fact that it will not be something drastic like a 200 foot elevation of the water line over the course of 5-10 years (something a reasonably intelligent and observational mammal could comprehend via personal experience). The (metaphorical, fictional) frog in boiling water analogy.

“global sea level has risen 6-8 inches over the last 100 years” -https://www.climate.gov/news-features/features/interactive-map-how-has-local-sea-level-united-states-changed-over-time
A more realistic and actual prediction than “you’re all going to die” is that sea level will rise 5-8 feet over the next 100 years (which is something like a 1000% increase over the 6-8 inches of the previous century).
It’s not expected to impact you. You don’t need to do anything about it. The worrying is for people who are concerned about the impact on future generations, and the future of the planet’s ecosystems.

@Oster1 your predictable dismissal of the issue and petty outrage at information is not surprising. Selfish people never like hearing things that imply they are less than perfect or that their lives might need change. That’s why the presentation put out years ago was titled “an inconvenient truth” 😂 sorry for the inconvenience 😂
Again, it won’t impact you, you can continue to go about self righteously being a self centered primate.

@KneAuxBody Yeah I don't take climate change activists seriously. Yes, climates change, but is it a world ending issue? No.
