Could climate change ever “wipe us out”? Do you think global warming is going to kill us? If...

Im not worried in the least about this. Nature is change and humans are the most adaptable species ever. We thrive everywhere from the arctic to the equator and we can eat almost anything. The climate has been much hotter and much colder than it is now and were still here. Life everywhere adapts.

The earth goes through natural climate change and I don't think there's much we can do to battle nature. We probably don't help as human being with our messy throw away lifestyles but, in my mere opinion we probably have cleaner air now than we did back when industries were choking the likes of London up with smog. Something we don't see today.

There's absolutely nothing we can do to change the weather.
If we could, there'd be no tornados or hurricanes, there'd be no droughts, there'd be no floods.

Trying to control the weather is just one more arrogant attempt by humans to control nature.

It's not likely. The climate has been changing since the earth was formed and will continue to change as long as the earth is here. Until we can control that big yellow thing in the sky.

Is that why there more people and less starvation than ever before in the history of the planet?

Protect the ozone. I read recently that it is actually repairing itself since fluerocarbons,(?) were eliminated or hastily reduced. And Freon using a/c's aren't being made and fossil fuel had been cleaned up. But since our leader thinks it's fake science and his adorers hang on his every word as gospel(literally) i believe we'll see an increase in severe weather. But the earth dies go through cycles to a certain extent like an ice age every 12k. years and places like Alaska were tropical once 200m years ago......
...i guess someone was there. I would encourage the EPA too enlist equal numbers from both sides if possible to debate our future.

If you live near the coast.. YES..
I'm holding out hope that some bright chemist will find a catalyst that we can launch into our atmosphere that will change a certain amount of carbon dioxide into oxygen and render the residue left over harmless to us or the atmosphere...
But then I'm a retired scientist and realize that someone needs to make money from it before anyone will invent it..

Solar activity is predicted to be a its low point in decades starting around 2030. So the libs are trying to scream the sky is falling now to try and dupe tax payers into agreeing to things that are unnecessary , before the truth comes out that the sun is what drives the warming they claim gasses, cow farts, and people cause. If you'll notice...libs never talk about solar radiation.

The world has a long long history of warming and cooling. Warming we can adapt to. It’s global cooling that scares me. With cooling comes famine, disease, war, etc.

It wont wipe us all out, unless the shifts cause some unforeseen bug to revive from the permafrost or a new killer version of malaria to spread worldwide. But about a billion of the worlds poorest people will either be starved or flooded out as crops fail , the water table rises and their land in inundated repeatedly. Plus a few beach houses in Malibu, and some bad snow storms and Twisters will take one or two Americans.

No such thing as global warming.

Humans will in one way or the other.

yes if we keep up with our pollution habbits and drilling for oil. Thanks to Congress stopping Trump's plan to reopen drilling in Antartica, Anartica will be slightly preserved. But Trump has already done some other actions that hurt the environment.
