Yeah, yeah, but you can't always look on the bright side of life.

The fact is that due to the increased rate of change there will be numerous disasters in the not too distant future which will cause a lot of death, pain and suffering for a very large proportion of the worlds population.

For example, if you consider that something like 40% of the worlds population get their drinking water from rivers fed by melting snow in the Himalayas, and that should the glaciers there melt (which they are doing), then many of those rivers will run dry and millions of people will die of thirst.

Pretending bad stuff isn't going to happen is not the attitude that will solve any of these problems. If there is a huge problem that will most likely kill millions of people, the best idea is to try and do something about it, no matter the cost.
Think of all the good made for T.V. movie matterial this will bring to my magical box of wonder that sits in my living room.  I heard that it would mostly effect 3rd world people and the dutch.  Yeah, like there is a difference.  The world is over populated right now.  The way I see it is it will eliminate those societies that haven't done a very good job progressing and really aren't worth saving.  Nothing personal France.

The same "experts" said we were in for global cooling in the 1970's. Hmm, where are the icebergs? The idea of global warming was started by leftist environmentalist wackos who want us to live like its the middle ages, in the idea of "saving the planet". Joke. Humans don't affect the earths temperature any more than a tick affects a dog's temperature.

Please, give us an example of a fact. Doesn't have to be a scientific one, per se.
The earth's atmosphere contains oxygen.

Luckily we have your scientific knowledge, and your ability to discover conspiracies by leftists seeking our population "to live like its the middle ages". That is a joke.

Oh, and fuck you Exxon-Mobil. Fuck you too American Enterprise Institute

Paying (bribing, more like) scientists to 'speak out' against the IPCC report because it would hurt their profits... these people are the scum of humanity.

Fuck them.

Exxon-Mobil created the last ice age just to kill off the dinosaurs to harvest their dead bodies in the form of oil.  Go hemp.

Damn right they did. (I hope you've all tuned your sarcasm detectors).

In fact, they're all evil aliens who injected oil into the planet so we would use it and become mindless slaves to them!

There are different ways to accelerate the cycle. One is not necessarily indicative of the other.
