This has been a doozy of a year. And it's the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won't die of old age?

I've resigned myself to the extinction of our species. We had a good run.

Same. Ironically, very funny to me, we are arguably the stupidest species by far. I mean, we are the only species to extinct the whole planet. That's wild. That one insect species that's confined to a solitary rock in Africa wouldn't do this. Even they are smarter than people.

we are the only species to extinct the whole planet

Planet sure doesn’t look extinct to me, and if it were we wouldn’t be the only one.

This just confirms that climate change cookers aren’t aware of history beyond 200 years ago.

What on earth made you think that climate change is going to lead to the extinction of our species? What kind of exaggerated analysis have you been consuming?

Hot, and good air conditioning thermal isolation, etc. It's all part of the regular upgrade schedule of my home now

I bought significantly above sea level. Surely, I will have beachfront property within my lifetime, if all the claims are to be believed!

We're not going to die from climate change, calm yourself.

HOWEVER, this does NOT discount the importance of climate action. We absolutely must do whatever we can to reduce carbon emissions. But it's not going to kill us in the first world.
