Is Climate Change an Existential Threat? It depends on how you define existential threat.

   Yeah. Yeah it is. People are dying. People are going to die. Just because a particular person might not die and climate change is not going to be a threat to them, doesn’t discount the other dead people.

   Where the heck is the empathy for other humans??? This issue is a moral outrage and I am tired of people debating what level of loss of life or level of suffering is acceptable when they won’t be the ones to experience it. To heck with those people. Every decent human being should be outraged and demand action and take action themselves.

   Anything less is not acceptable to the people who will suffer from the apathy or indifference of those of us living in more stable situations.

2. Not in the lifetime of most people living on this planet. For future generations not so much.

3. “Won’t be that bad” = 2025 version of climate denial

   Something like 80% of people only read the headline and look at the thumbnail photo, but never read the article. This particular headline tends to support the current fossil fuel company mantra that it won’t be that bad.

   The article TEXT might be great, but far too often headline editors unwittingly (if not intentionally) push fossil fuel company propaganda
