Re: So how come we are not all dead?

Humans are some of the hardiest species on earth today, not the most fragile.  We visit the deepest ocean, highest peak, and coldest continent.  We have gone to the moon, sent probes to many planets and even out of our solar system.

The danger is not really climate change will wipe our species off the face of the Earth as much as it is we many irreparably damage the ecosystems that provide us with the ability to sustain a high quality existence for our species.  We monitor possible damage we do by monitoring rare and endangered species.  If the environment is quality enough to allow these species to survive, it is most likely beneficial to our species, although how is now always evident immediately. Rapid climate change is one of those things that causes major unpredictable disruptions in Earth's ecosystems.  Since scientist believe a significant portion is caused by human activity, the reasonable thing to do is slow climate change down to allow more time for ecosystems to respond.On The problem is not how high the temperature may go, but how fast it is changing posted 1 year, 5 months ago 14 Responses
