To be blunt you're wrong on every account. Climate change is a settled issue as far as the fact that it is occurring and it is man made. Anyhow, that's exactly the type of arrogance that has lead to the collapse of every single "great" civilization and considering the human species has existed for less than a blink of an eye in geological terms I would hardly toot our horn as far as adaptability goes. I'm sure dinosaurs thought they were hot stuff. Anyhow, the meteor blast did not cause mass extinction. The changes to the atmosphere and weather patterns that resulted from the impact which in turn severely impacted plant species did. What humans are presently doing to the atmosphere and the planet as a whole is on par with such an event on several fronts. Let's see, we have altering the content of the atmosphere on a massive scale and at a rapid rate, ocean acidification, the depletion of entire fisheries on a massive scale, the altering of watersheds on a massive scales as well as deforestation on a massive scale. Add all that up and we are presently living in what some scientists are now referring to as the sixth great extinction in the last billion years and that fact of the matter is that it is largely man made and sticking our heads up our asses and ignoring the issue is not going to solve the problem. Do me a favor and google ecology and gaia theory.
I'm arrogant? You're the one spouting absolutes! Connor is wrong on EVERY account! Science is settled! It's all Man's fault with no other factors! Dinosaurs think!
Mankind is apparently a piker when it comes to adaptability...never mind that we explore and have been to both poles and every where in between...never mind that we go to the highest elevations and the lowest levels under the sea...that we live in space and have landed on the moon and constantly contemplate getting to Mars and try to figure out how to get to the other farther reaches of the universe. We can barely survive a light breeze though, eh?
By the way, my reference to the comet/meteor theory did refer to the dust and debris that it was purported to have kicked up into the atmosphere. That is the general theory and I did not stray from it even if I didn't type every single step of it.
If you think what we currently put into the atmosphere is even close to being on par with the dust and debris cloud that would have existed, then maybe you need some time on Google.
PS. Mankind has no clue how to stop AGW even if it did exist. You want to talk about arrogance? First, read about how man tried to preserve natural environments in regards to the national parks. The unintended consequences that came out of that were in the realm of Keystone Cops-ish. Plus, add to that the arrogance of trying to preserve a static state of something in constant change.
Finally, let me point out how your AGW has been undergoing constant change in its theory as it's climate models constantly fail and get revised to the point that anything that occurs either weather-wise or climate-wise is an obvious sign of climate change theory. Your settled science of AGW is about as settled as the ACA!
