Because many of us understand human history, and understand that we humans will resolve this by technological advancement often at the time the need arises. Using government to artificially inflate prices on what you perceive to be a problem rarely results in good outcomes for anyone and even rarer does it actually resolve the problem it was claimed to solve More often the new regulations will be abused to profit a few, and hold back actual technological progress for decades (see Ethanol as an example) For my entire long long long life, people have been predicting the end of the world as we know it, always 10 years off before we are all dead. having lived many decades now, hearing these 10 year predictions often, and seeing them never come well color me unamused, and unmoved by this latest call to action. Instead i choose to believe we will over come the challenges in the future has we have the ones from the past. With technological advancement, and market economics. Not government |

Literally the opposite of what I said
> For my entire long long long life, people have been predicting the end of the world
I never claimed that either, but at least this time I didn't say the opposite. Some people seem to think it's an extinction threat, but personally I expect civilisation to continue, even if half of us starve and we reduce to a much smaller population while dealing with the fallout and having to rebuild. You may want to look into the consequences of global warming before judging whether it's similar to the end of the Mayan calendar or whatever end of the world events you're talking about
> what you perceive to be a problem
If you still think we aren't causing climate change, I'm not sure there's a point talking about it. Can't help people that don't do logic
