If the scariest thing in that graph of the earth's estimated global temperature over its lifetime isn't the near vertical upward line at the end it just means you don't believe humanity's existence is particularly significant (which is not an unreasonable conclusion depending on your perspective). The planet and life in general will thrive no matter what we do. I'd just rather we actually give ourselves a shot of being around a little longer to witness it.

Humans are going to be fine too even if the sea levels rise. Humans adapt that's our biggest strength.

Sea level rises aren't our biggest problem. I'm willing to be a very significant percentage of humanity are not going to be "fine" at all, barring some miraculous changes in our behavior and/or technology. Would you have claimed humans have coped "fine" with covid? I wouldn't, and I reckon that'll be statistical noise compared to the likely disruptions in the next 50-100 years.

I hear you. Are you still wearing a mask to protect other people? COVID is still out there. We have to protect people from COVID so please wear a mask and only go outside if necessary. This is still a pandemic.

[wizofaus]

Yes, as circumstances dictate, despite it causing my glasses to fog up, which is not a minor inconvenience. What's your point though?

[edmcnulty101]

Youre saving lives. Don't ever stop, as long as as COVID exists. Thank you for continuing to wear your mask.
