But the nut of it is even if it were true, is it bad enough to kill off the human race? We don't know. We do know the sun will go super nova. When all the scientists of the world stop barbecuing, stop driving gas powered cars, stop using petro products...etc. Then maybe I will listen. Until then, I remain extremely skeptical and prefer to rely on common sense. Also, I am not anti-environment. Just, there needs to be a balance and common sense applied. No sense in dealing with invisible monsters

Yeah, well, the difference between Meteors and Super Novas is we have zero ability to have an influence on it. Climate change may be a differnt matter.

Common sense certainly does not match "When all the scientists of the world stop barbecuing, stop driving gas powered cars, stop using petro products...etc. Then maybe I will listen".

Very comfortable attitude you have, especially given your conditions to change/believe/being convinced are such extremes it is highly unlikely it will ever happen. Kinda shows the true colors here instead of something like a "common sense" approach. You simply do not want to leave your confort zone, at least be honest about it.

That said, do whatever you please. Just stop torpedoing those people that actually got themselves a bike for the dayly businesses or are trying to get everything on a bit more sustainable basis.
