Actually this is probably pointless to post on HN since I doubt anyone here cares about climate change beyond their own personal inconvenience
I love how it is normal to threaten death to anyone who doesn't believe in this crazy climate nonsense, but HN bans anyone who points out that the actual raw data shows climate hysteria is entirely unfounded.
The narrative of combating global warming / climate change is ineffective and it misses the point. The Earth can quite naturally be inhospitable to human life. The narrative needs to be one of terraforming our own planet.
There are several problems with this approach. The person performing the forming would essentially be cleaning up the polution of everyone else. Terraforming would require global agreement and adherence to a highly capital-intensive enterprise. This is not unlike the discussions about limiting global warming, which are not a frank success. We currently have no means of cleaning up that is more efficient ie less costl…

> after we stop burning fossil fuel You mean, when we run out of fossil fuel?
That's just not going to happen by any measure. Deposits might become more and more expensive to tap into, but we're not just going to run out. We need to stop using them, not hope that we'll just stop once they are out - they simply won't be.

Turn the tables on who? The ones threatening death on poor people all the time are the ones threatening death on poor people now.

What raw data?
Personal anectode. I already can't bear summer. I don't have AC, as most people don't have it here in Switzerland. Even offices tend to not have them. There are 1 to 2 months a year where my productivity sinks, enjoyment of life plummets and I just want it all to be over. I also barely see any snow anymore, if I don't hike in the mountains. I love snow. The change is real and I hate it. Couldn't it be global cooling…
You live in an extremely rich country, surely you can afford to install an AC unit if it impacts you as much as you're saying. Seems like that has a much better shot at solving your problem than waiting for the world to address global climate change.

> Have any of their “predictions” aged well? No, but only in the sense that they've tended to be too conservative and to understate the degree and pace of change. And just to be clear, the paper linked to is a review of weather station data which finds that extreme heat & humidity conditions are occurring sooner and more frequently than models predicted.
Way off. The vast majority of their doom and gloom claims have been completely disproven. Only the woefully ignorant peddle this stuff. It’s perfectly natural for the weather to be extremely hot and humid sometimes.
Unless you believe that NASA are in on the whole conspiracy because of, um, some reason I can't even fathom...
