The climate is always changing and it's variations have to do with orbit wobbles, Sun activity, and possibly, to a very small degree, human activity. Can we destroy the planet? Probably not, short of detonation of all the nuclear devices on the planet at once.

I always smile at reports of millions dying in the coming decades as the sea levels rise and take them out. No, millions will relocate, but not die. As climates change people adapt. Been happening since the beginning and it will continue. Meanwhile alarmists push us into electric vehicles which will increase the cost of electricity (fast charging rates have already doubled in CA), and push our already weak grid past its limits. Battery mining and coal fired power plants belch pollution for those "zero emissions" vehicles, and nuclear, which is clean and safe seems to be off limits to the green crowd too.

So yes, we're sick of the dire predictions that never come true. We've had it with the attitude that because your intentions are good, your bad solutions must be followed. The best solutions, the ones that actually work, will win out in the market. Products that improve lives and are efficient and clean don't have to be forced on people.
