Every year, it seems like we get closer and closer to the end. One day, temperatures will be so hot, and they will not go down. They will only continue to rise, people being kept alive by AC. Then the power grids will fail, and AC won't work, and people will just pass out from heat strokes and die off. And the world will be left with only the few who can withstand the increasing temperatures. And then the temperature will increase even more, and those too will die, or starve from nothing to eat. Bare shelves, dead crops. This is how the end will be. Crime will become rampant as rising temperatures make people more violent and people take what they need to survive by force. Grim.

I don't know if this comment is serious or not, but if so, it is hyperbolic nonsense. Not to say there's no warming, obviously there is, or to say it won't have detrimental effects, but it's people saying things like this that give deniers ammo to call it a doomsday cult. If you truly believe what you've just said, you need to take a step out of your own head and unbiasedly self reflect and examine the merit of your worldview for a minute.

Why would it be hyperbolic? What exactly do you think happens when temperatures keep rising to unbearable levels? Keep cranking up the AC? What about the crops that feed the animals we eat to survive? What about the dwindling oceans we farm sea food from?

[betwixthewires]

It's a very naive view of climate change, on par with "whatever happened to global cooling?"

What exactly do you think happens? Runaway greenhouse effect? People just start baking to death in the street? It's senseless. Climate change causes negative effects, but it's much more complicated than that. You should do some reading.

[xwdv]

You seem to think life will just continue on much like it is today, with no ill effects or threat of mass extinction. This is denial.

[betwixthewires]

No, I don't. I've clearly stated several times that negative effects will happen. You can slap your favorite label on it, not everyone who doesn't immediately agree with your absolutely ridiculous take is a denier and you can't just shame people into nodding their head. I never, not once, said it isn't real. Again, read about climate change and you'll actually know something about it.

Dwindling oceans? I thought that the sea levels are rising?

[xwdv]

Empty oceans

Your first sentence is a tautology. We are by definition closer to the end than ever before, and always will be.
