Is anthropogenic climate change a serious crisis facing humanity?
(Just curious what the consensus is here. Not looking for a debate in the comments. Just poll results.)
No question in my mind. Since 1970, 6.5 billion humans have been added to the planet. A chauvinist species such as ours will only result in the crash that is merely beginning. I have personally witnessed the massive decline in migratory birds & the enormous disappearance of amphibians. I burden the world with no progeny.
I have little hope that we will do enough in time to prevent disaster. Humans are naturally short-sighted.
And I’d rather stop polluting the environment and be wrong than continue wrecking the only planet we have because it might not be causing climate change and being wrong about that.
Agreed.
