It *is* a little creepy. And no, the fact that it's freezing in Texas doesn't make me feel better - global climate change doesn't mean that everybody gets warmer every day. Some places get colder.
But it's not the end of the world.
End of our way of living right now? Definitely.
End of our society as a whole? Probably, depending on how you define that.
End of humanity? Possibly.
Heck, I'll even accept "end of life on Earth" as a remote possibility. But not for long. Life pulled itself up from its bootstraps before it even existed, and life on this planet has survived cataclysms before.
End of the world for some people, but that doesn't mean nothing will be left.
I don't know if that makes me feel better or worse, by the way.
I'd like to see some sea walls and levees built. If they can build Holland up under sea level, can't they stop rising sea levels from flooding everything? Not that it'll happen, but I'd like to see it.
Last year was killer cold, so I don't know anyway. And apparently our stove and oven were never connected properly to the gas pipe. The stove and oven we depended on often to warm our house. WE COULD HAVE ASPHYXIATED SEVERAL TIMES OVER.
