Atlantic currents set to collapse within the next 100 years

The CNN article on this has a similar headline but if you read the story, which I did, it isn't nearly as alarmist as the headline suggests. It's happened before and the science that's predicting this is a possibility is still very new and untested. I get that the planet it warming but I am SO fucking tired of them alarming and terrifying the general public that the planet is about to upheave on us. It isn't. We will warm, but it's nothing that hasn't happened in the past. Human will have to adapt. Recyling your plastic bags and suddenly switching everyone to electric cars is NOT going to reverse this or even significantly slow it. So much politics has been allowed to twist and bastardize climate science and, sadly, many climatologists have allowed themselves to be sucked into it. Unless there is a sudden change in emissions, simultaneously, across the entire planet, warming will not slow down. You cannot change nearly 200 years of Humanity's habits or industrial growth in a couple of decades. Some might argue that it's even arrogant to think that Humans alone, in the mere span of less than 200 years, have altered the climate of the entire planet. While there's been impact, the planet is a living breathing thing with cycles. We aren't nearly as culpable in its changes as we think we are.

I’m middle aged and childfree so I don’t care about the future of the planet but I hope those who do are able to find a solution

I'll be dead, so not my problem.

R1 is too stupid to live; hopefully one of the first to go.

Après nous, le déluge.

OP, you're already pushing 80. How does this really worry you?

R1 rationalizes this exactly how a friend of mine who works in petroleum does.

R7 - Does your friend work nude? Otherwise he must spent an absolute fortune on work clothes. Is this a company policy, or a personal choice? Either way it sounds like an OSHA nightmare waiting to happen.

R1 = noted climate expert Joe Rogan. Or could be climate expert Chuck Woolery. Or could be climate expert Kevin Sorbo.

Notice all three of these clowns don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, much less study climate change.

Right after the catastrophic collapse of the ozone layer, which no one talks about anymore.

Be afwaid, be vewy afwaid!

True. They are far less learned than Leo DiCaprio, Shailene Woodley, and Mark Ruffalo.

R1? What car was your ancestor driving in 1820?

Sure, Jan.
