Over 1000 people died this summer in the Northwest and Canada from the heat wave.

Those people aren't fine.  They're dead.

This isn't some nebulous future anymore.  The future is now.[/quote]

[b]10's of thousands dies each year from cancer,  just as many crashing cars [/b] thousands die each year choking on food.   the death rate as a result of cold exposure is up 8-12%.  people die.  the plantet needs people to die.  humans are living longer than ever, and the planet has to figure out a way to cope  it copes by killing people.  with new strains of diseases, cancers, etc...

if we as humans, spread our load out across the globe.  IE  move away from coastlines, and lower our population density,  I think that would help,

the amount of pollution in china and india is unthinkable. and if you think that as a home owner that recycling your beer cans is doing anything.  you are mistaken.    Its not hurting by any means,  but don't get on your high horse thinking you are saving the world.  while living in your 3K squarefoot home with the AC cranked, driving an SUV, etc..

Climate change could be just a result of the planet aging  we really honestly don't know....  the earth is  4 billion years old.   we've had maybe 4-5  major ice ages.  as out continents move around the earth,  weather and ocean currents are bound to change.

we have no idea what the real temperatures were thousands of years ago.  we only know what temperatures are and have been for the last 140 years....

we are predicting the end of the planet based on 140 years of empirical data. that is .000003425% of the planets age.    if you are 60years old  thats 525600 hours.    you are basically judging and figuring out a life  span and health based on surveying one minutes of my life.

so pretty worthless data in the grand scheme of things.

These are silly arguments. We actively try to reduce cancer risk and prevent cancer deaths through research and public health activities. We are always working toward improving vehicle safety. I take active measure to reduce the risk that my kids choke on their food, and we have public health campaigns to teach people the Heimlich maneuver in order to reduce choking deaths overall.

To argue that because other things also kill people is a silly distraction. We are always trying to reduce harm to humanity. It's sociopathic to argue otherwise. And maybe that's the point. People who argue against climate policy are sociopaths.[/quote]
