Why should I care about global warming and climate change if

>>8857274
Imagine earth being a handful of degrees colder than it is now, let's say around 4-5° C. Doesn't sound like too much, right?

That's the difference between Boston as it is today, and Boston under a mile of ice (22000 years ago)

We're heading straight for 2°C degrees more than today in less than 100 years

how will the future humans fix their climate problems if WE don't develop climate altering technology now?
You are stopping the advancement of science.

No one's asking you the moon you know.
Just do what you can at your level whenever you feel like it.
Sort your detritus, buy bio products once in a while, use your bike instead or walk for small distances instead of taking your car etc...

Not my problem what happens 100 years from now long after I'm dead

We can barely predict next week's weather and you're already talking about climate altering technology?

Wew lad.

Unless these environmental conscious activities are enforced by law by a totalitarian government, me using the bike instead of the car is not going to stop global warming m8

Except that's not the time scale, models are predicting changes that will effect where crops can be grown and rising sea levels effecting coastal cities within this century.
If you don't worry about the future than why not just take on the risk of debt to build thousands of nuclear plants to power the world?

Is there a scientific reason why I should care about anything after I'm dead? Because the way I see it now, there is no logical reason to care about the future of the planet as long as I can live happily now.

Do hipsters actually believe that?

Not relevant to a discussion about hard sciences like climate science retard

We get it, the world revolves around you. You "trolled" us 'good', now here's a link back to your main board >>>/b/.

maybe you'll be here in 100 years.
Watching your great-grandkids wish the world wasn't submerged in water

>73.5 TO 26.5 IS THE SAME AS 100 TO ZERO, THE MODEL WAS WRONG
If only you didn't fail high school math

I care. If you don't then tough luck there are ways people like do can be made to care as well. Laws exist for a reason and people generally follow them whether they care or not.

>Hurr Durr it could happen they even said it could!
They made it seem impossible, by manipulating data, just like climate alarmists

>>8857420
It could also be exponential. Might even be a 10 degree change
