Realizing that some of the first human settlements are some ten miles out from the shore, underneath the ocean..

Oh, the planet will be just fine, it'll take a lot more than what we've done so far to salt the earth stone dead. Life's endured way worse than us, make no mistake. It's humanity who won't survive The Trial.

The ME and Central Africa will become literally unlivable for humans. The US Midwest AKA The Breadbasket of the World, will desertify (although, depending on how the soil under the melting permafrost shakes out, Canada and Russia might end up becoming the big hardy farmers). Much of the world's cities and thus population live near the coasts that get flooded, and Katrina proved many people will stay in their homes even in the face of certain flooded doom. The New Coastal cities will be battered with the far more frequent and intense hurricanes.

Maybe we'll endure, but it'll be at a fraction of our current global population, and we certainly won't be in a position to do Great Things like space exploration anymore like we can now. And brother? I'm just fine with that. 8-)

Been watching the Lefties too long to bite on their latest scam, back in the 70's, in the wake of the New Dealers blowing themselves up in Vietnam and the associated rise of the Neo-Left, the Left shifted from being essentially a labour movement, to being this pseudo academic doomsday cult you see now, and their first ostensible doomsday, back in the 70's, was the "Coming Global Ice Age!", so with "Global Warming!", they've basically just migrated from one breathless overwrought extreme to the other. /shrugs.

Bear in mind, they had all sorts of "Climate Scientists!" back in the 70's too, and according to them, this is the Global Ice Age, right now.

Like I said, if global warming is happening, that's great news for Canada, pop the corks and celebrate, you and the Russians are gonna be fucking rich!

I respect your passion, but I'm not buying what you're selling.

That's fine, life's short, enjoy it while it lasts, and don't ever have kids to feel guilty about. That's my credo these days.

We're already rich, smoking cuban cigars and drinking single malt up in here on my estate, but by all means, send us Georgia's weather, fine by me.

Georgia, except not full of Americans, mhmm, sounds good.

And there we have it. I'm alright Jack, fuck everyone else.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
