Many climate scientists fear a temperature rise of four or five degrees Celsius by century’s end.
We know that if we continue to use fossil fuels as our primary energy source, the conditions of life on the earth for our own species and for others will be damaged perhaps beyond repair...during the entire 2012 presidential election campaign Obama did not so much as mention climate change. This is one of the most tragic facts of contemporary times.
...Global warming poses a far greater emergency than, say, Islamist terrorism.

They will all be dead by century's end. The need to pick something more rational to be paranoid of.
I find the above comment worse than despicable. It implies that we are not supposed to give two and a half fucks about our children and grandchildren. Only a egotistical psychopath would hold such a view.
