"Krypton might be fiction but the clear and present danger that global warming and climate change present to human civilisation is the greatest threat to mankind since the Ice Age."
So, you're saying that too-cold temperatures are detrimental to humans too?
"This is real, people. Your grandchildren and great grandchildren will look back and wonder how you could see the danger staring you in the face and do nothing."
Wow, you sound like Samuel the Lamanite there. Why are you worried about future humans? The earth is an estimated 4.5 billion years old. Dinosaurs went extinct 65 million years ago and humans had nothing to do with it. Humans have only been around about 200k years. We are relative newcomers to life on earth. Humans might go extinct for some reason 5,000 years from now, and it might not have anything to do with the earth's temperature, pollution, or the amount of rainfall. Whatever species rises up after humans are gone might like the temperature and the rainfall just fine.
My feelings about "climate change" run along these lines:
