Maybe not. Maybe we're not supposed to be fine? Have you considered, even
in passing, that all of the dramatic climate changes of the past few 10s of
thousands of years (conveniently suppressed as far as possible by the
"true believers" in manmade global warming) are part of the
Earth's evolution, of which we're just a miniscule part? That we were never
intended to rule over the planet in perpituity, that we were always
intended to be a small scene in a play with acts stretching into infinity?

I mean, who are we to say that we're such hot shit that we deserve to live
while the dinosaurs didn't? And how conceited are we to presume that our
frail little skeletons carrying fragile piles of fat and skin are capable
of affecting the Earth, or the Universe? I, for one, don't imagine that
possibility at all. So, I think it better to ship a tractor-trailer sized
diesel generator over to the wilds of Africa to help power a hospital,
diesel exhaust fumes be damned, and save some lives that are actually in
danger, rather than "save the Earth" with dimbulb conservation
BS.

IOW, I maintain that it's a fool's errand to think that we can either
damage, or fix, the Earth, we're merely riders on the storm, enjoy it while
you can!
