    Sure, life that can adapt will. But that’s not the main concern. It’s the immeasurable and enormous potential loss of human life and every other innocent creature that people are morally concerned about.

      That’s the point I was trying to imply with my sarcastic first comment.

      Climate change deniers always like to point out ancient prehistoric changes that occurred on earth thousands or even millions of years ago … and they are right.

      What they seldom understand is that the earth can weather these unbelievable changes but life, especially human life can not.

      I never worry about the planet. It will be around for about another billion years in one form or another. It’s always a question of whether or not any living thing will survive on it’s surface.

      I was being stupid with my first comment and I don’t mind being stoned for it … I just wanted to point out that climate change is not a problem for the planet … it’s a problem for the survival of all human life.
