Doubt it. Climate change should alarm you. Between climate change and the ongoing catastrophic loss of biodiversity, if we stay the course we'll be beyond the point of irreversible damage to the planet very shortly. The science is sound, and it's incredibly frightening.

Why did they change the word global warming to climate change?
Do you know about the malow hierachy of needs? If lefties love the planet so much why are they in favour of mass 3rd world immigration, since the carbon-footprint of a person in the west is much bigger than of people in 3rd world countries?
How far back do we have accurate weather statistics?
If co2 is what plants eat and produce oxygen out of, why is co2 so bad?
If a grown tree can bind tons of co2 and convert it, how come politics dont make it our top priority to preserve these trees and plant billions more?
How does it help anything if the west amputates lots of local industries when india and china both have a 300% higher co2 output than europe and north america combined?
How does it help anything to implement new carbon taxes for the western populations when our carbon output steadily declined since the year 2000 and in the east it rose by over 300% since then?
Do you know about the 12 oiltankers? How come no one talks about those?

This might happen if you repeat it over and over again, it’s the case where the discourse engender a specific event because there’s nothing in ”climate change” that actually forces relatively rich third worlders to use modern information systems, transport and pay smugglers in order to get to a first world country (which would also be affected by rising sea levels)

yeah so they can now sell us green energy too. they are not desperate to deny, denying it is only a reaction. main problem is that facing the harsh reality means that you are forced to take a tough decision that entails a complete change of our lifestyles. yet we all like our current lifestyle and nobody actually cares enough for the future to go to such lengths. so either they deny it or support, both sides are doing the minimum amount of effort which allows them to keep experiencing their pseudo ethical cheques.

silent spring is a book about climate change but I'm not sure if that's what are you looking for. Anyway you seem pretty biased, maybe you should read a book about why climate change is real.
With that being said I too think that this whole muh climate is part of some globohomo plan (see Greta T. sponsored by S0r0s) but denying the fact that 7 billion people who all want to have the western lifestyle of eating red meat every day and traveling the world aren't affecting the environment is just retarded.

Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger.

Seems obvious that climate change can best be addressed by expanding nuclear energy and putting a cost on carbon emissions, preferably through cap-and-dividend. Not sure why people seem to think the only way to deal with it is by creating a centrally planned economy.

I am fully convinced the only “solution” to climate change will be increasing the Earth’s albedo and blocking sunlight via aerosols and satellites. The world as a whole is not moving away from fossil fuels fast enough.

Still, there are bright spots. Carbon capture and storage is finally becoming a useful technology. The sooner we get to zero emissions, the sooner this tech can help undo the damage we’ve done.

Eschatological delusions is a ubiquitous phenomenon of human psyche, and it's not unique to gauls who think the sky will fall down or christians who think Christ will return next tuesday.

Why are anti-CC people always so eager to show they dont know shit about what theyre talking about? It has never been claimed that sea levels will rise dramatically this decade, or the next decade, or whatever. The timeframe has basically not shifted ever since that metric was introduced, which uses 2100 for their expectations.

I acknowledge climate change, including feedback loops and exponential factors my question was mainly about the supposed solution. Currently most call for dramatic restructuring of society and introduction of centrally planned economies which will weaken and destabilize the west compared to china and other countries who don't give a shit. So as I see it option one is dramatic change to address climate change and the Chinese and Muslims take over. Or we try to address climate change through capitalism and using human nature not disregarding it, that won't be enough world goes to shit any way, option three we do nothing live in ignorance and the world collapses. So the point of my post was to educate myself on any solutions to the problems I articulated previously

Climate change isn't a problem, it's a predicament, problems have solutions, predicaments don't.

>Why did they change the word global warming to climate change?
Because while climate change does cause average warming of global temperatures, it also leads to disruption of atmospheric processes and more extreme temperatures in general, which means some places will locally get colder.
>Do you know about the malow hierachy of needs? If lefties love the planet so much why are they in favour of mass 3rd world immigration, since the carbon-footprint of a person in the west is much bigger than of people in 3rd world countries?
The climate movement != leftism. There are people who are extremely concerned about the climate at all points on the political spectrum. In any case, immigration to the 1st world is probably not a significant contributor to climate change and any negatives impacts are probably mitigated by the lower birth rates of people (yes, immigrants too) in the 1st world.
>How far back do we have accurate weather statistics?
We have accurate temperature measurements going back well into the 19th century. But be sure not to confuse weather, a local phenomenon, with the global climate. They are as different as the flower and the meadow.
>If co2 is what plants eat and produce oxygen out of, why is co2 so bad?
The atmosphere is naturally in a balanced equilibrium in which CO2 is a good thing. We are taking a sledgehammer to that equilibrium, thus CO2 is a bad thing ('if salt is tasty why does adding a tablespoon of it to my plate ruin my dinner?').
>If a grown tree can bind tons of co2 and convert it, how come politics dont make it our top priority to preserve these trees and plant billions more?
Many politicians are trying to do this. Unfortunately most don't care enough or don't have the public support to push through such policies. It's worth noting that tree planting needs to be done carefully to ensure it is effective, and it can only ever been a partial solution as we simply cannot plant enough trees to take all the carbon out of the air.
>How does it help anything if the west amputates lots of local industries when india and china both have a 300% higher co2 output than europe and north america combined?

>How does it help anything to implement new carbon taxes for the western populations when our carbon output steadily declined since the year 2000 and in the east it rose by over 300% since then?
Because in the 1st world we still have the highest per capita carbon output; and also we need to set the gold standard or else our pleas to other countries will be viewed as empty hypocrisy.

Was about to post this.
My only problem is with your last points on the first world vs third world outputs.
>Because in the 1st world we still have the highest per capita carbon output...
Yes but the less developed countries still spit out more carbon overall so why does "per capita" output matter?
>... We need to let our words speak loud and our actions speak louder.
How can we do that, as a developed nation we have had a comparatively long time to foster modern convivences and standards of living on fossil fuels, this has in turn allowed us to transition into renewable energy while still having the fossil fuel to back our everyday lives. Asking the third world to make the jump from undeveloped straight to renewable energy is simply unfeasible.
