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.

The sky is falling.
I am concerned about civilization’s collapse, but not for bogus “climate” reasons.
I’ll be OK.
I vote for it being too late and just lay back and enjoy the warmth.
These folks are certifiably insane.
Civilization may collapse for “climate” reasons, but it will be cooling, not warming.
Civilizations in the past have prospered when it warmed.
Idiots. it’s not the climate that is eliminating civilization. It’s heads of state who are eliminating it by actively embracing an uncivilized ideology that wants to wipe out all the advances in civilization that have been made in the world.
“The sky is falling”
“is the earth rising?”
More CO2 in the atmosphere helps my victory garden to grow better.
Their is a strong correlation between the rise of rap and hip-hop culture and the collapse of civilization. Maybe we should put strict limits on the production of rap music.
Does this we are all going to die AGAIN????
What a great opportunity for Mr Inhofe, immediately schedule hearings and put these “virtually all climatologists” under OATH to repeat their Lies, and then put Roy Spencer on. LOCK THESE FRAUDS UP.
I have a modest proposal.
No one who receives any benefits from the government is allowed to vote.
That will kill this “climate change” begging/propaganda.
— virtually all climatologists “are now convinced that global warming poses a clear and present danger to civilization.”—
Really?
In other words: Everyone else is too stupid to realize the reality.
When we deport Obama, maybe we can throw Kanye West in the shipping container? How about a few Kardashians too...
What difference does it make? If our grandchildren survive they will be broke thanks to Soetoro.
