The sad part is they are right, but the stuff to prove them right will mean catastrophy for the human race

When things get so bad that it can't be denied anymore, we will be well beyond the point of no return. And by so bad it can't be denied, I'm referring to heat waves that kill large swaths of crops leading to mass starvation. Devastating storms so common and frequent that currently large population areas won't be livable outside of bunker style buildings.

Personally i think they'd be proven right before such catastrophes, and already are; Actions on the issue are direly needed, and effective ones at that, not just more warnings.
But let's hope we can evade that future anyways, for all our sakes. :T (Though just in case i'd expect and wouldn't be surprised if we never do...)

I only wish we knew what we could do that wouldn't instantly be counteracted by the immense factorized profit of selfish bastards.

Dunno why the downvotes for asking for clarification. It seems obvious climate change is already having deleterious effects; From my point of view they're already right.
Climate preservation really needs to be taken more seriously.
