So what?
Interesting notion, the "So What?" if massive amounts of humans are caused suffering and death due to ignoring global warming. It's humanity taking it's natural course. Somehow I don't feel those presenting this argument would be quite as sanguine if it was them, their wives, children, fathers, mothers, siblings, or other family members that suffered.
I guess it's one thing to be fatalistic about the "earths human population" (that thing that somehow these folks do not believe they are a part of), another to come to the realization it's you and your friends and families asses that are on the line.
Until that is realized, people will not make the level of effort and change required to reverse global warming. Unfortunately, nothing less than continual, and massive disasters affecting widespread industrialized nations could get a change in direction, and by that time it'll be too late to avoid human calamity on a global scale never before seen. Now I am being fatalistic. I hope the human race proves me wrong.
