Climate change could mean the extinction of our species

I don't personally buy into the Global Warming shenanigans. In fact, they've found the ice caps are melting MUCH slower than they had previously thought, and I rarely hear about it much these days. Seems like it was more sensationalized in the early 2000s. I'm sure the fossil fuels, and other gases emitted can't be good for the environment, but I don't think stopping the emissions is going to induce a complete turn around either. I think the earth goes through cycles of heating and cooling. Anywho, live your life. Drive a hybrid or something if you want, and bike to local destinations if you can. If more people did that, there would be less obesity as well, which is becoming endemic in the UK and USA. Kill two birds with one stone!

Well, driving less has benefits like reducing pollution. And, too, people walking more and cycling more would hopefully reduce our obesity crisis.
Even Rex Tillerson, CEO of Exxon, says it's real, it's happening. But the plan seems to be adaptation. So, we're going to adapt to it. Is it feasible?
I think we think -- or the likes of Tillerson and others -- that we're smart enough to deal with any challenges we're faced with.
I mean, if it isn't real, well, we've spent a bit of money doing things we should've done. But if it's real then what?
Plus maybe we should think about conserving oil -- for future generations.
But a lot of people believe there's an unlimited supply.
