Although most of us worry about other things, climate scientists have become increasingly worried about the survival of civilization. For example, Lonnie Thompson, who received the U.S. National Medal of Science in 2010, said that virtually all climatologists "are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization."
Informed journalists share this concern. The climate crisis "threatens the survival of our civilization," said Pulitzer Prize-winner Ross Gelbspan. Mark Hertsgaard agrees, saying that the continuation of global warming "would create planetary conditions all but certain to end civilization as we know it."
These scientists and journalists, moreover, are worried not only about the distant future but about the condition of the planet for their own children and grandchildren.
What can be done then? Given the failure of political leaders to deal with the CO2 problem, it is now too late to prevent terrible developments.
But it may -- just may -- be possible to keep global warming from bringing about the destruction of civilization. To have a chance, we must do everything possible to "keep climate close to the Holocene range" -- which means, mobilize the whole world to replace dirty energy with clean as soon as possible.

Or at least stuff is falling out of it.
It was -6 here last night, could that warming stuff hurry up a bit?
“is the earth rising?”

I fear a return to 7th century barbarism by Muslims.
The answer to charges of climate alarmism is ... increase the volume and the absurdity.
They can't even predict if it will rain today nor tomorrow but they say they know everything .LIARS
Well, if Mark Hertsgaard agrees, then what's left to say?

'Climate Change’ Ranks Dead Last in United Nations' Own Survey
I wonder if the sample size was large enough?
Ok, so why don't they care? I have an idea.....people slowly caught on to the tax scam, investor fraud, UN power grab, and the dubious science.
Little wonder. I've had about enough too. Defund it all. Maybe science will start working on diseases again.

They really are getting desperate.
LOL!
An oxymoron if there ever was one.
Whatever shall they do in Siberia?
Yup.

The only way to atone for these transgressions against the earth is to throw every employee of CNN into an active volcano.
I hope to live to see the day when this stuff is laughed at as phrenology is today.
As Michael Savage puts it, “Liberalism is a mental disorder.” My question is this - Why should I have to pay tithes to their church, since their mental disorder/cult is the Church of the Left.
Dear David Ray Griffin - You are sooooooo right. Humanity is poisoning the planet. People are to blame. Please start a trend to reverse our horrible impact on the environment by ending your own life and composting your remains. Thanks. /sarcasm
“The climate is ruined. So can civilization even survive?” The answer is no. Civilization as it stands today will be completely and utterly dead within about 120 years. But because hetero people reproduce, there will be a whole new new human race by then.
