Nobody is seriously advocating a complete elimination of fossil fuel consumption in a way that we cannot adapt to it, this whole assumption that climate scientists want people to starve and live in poverty is completely unfounded and anyone that does want it is an idiot. Measures to adapt to climate change are already being done, the effort to live with climate change involves both adaption and prevention. And, no, making a change to our western, suburban lifestyle is not the same thing as living in poverty, people should think through what is really important here.

Hurricanes are a force of nature, the aspects of global warming that are caused by humans can be fixed by humans.

This is all only a problem if you think in extremes, the problems we are facing need to be faced with rational thinking not black and white thinking. I keep saying that word, but adapt, adapt, adapt! Fossil fuels aren't so essential, we have lived without them before, we have survived millennia without them! With our ever advancement in technology there is no doubt in my mind that we can live without them again, or at least live without the need to burn them for energy. Lets find alternative ways to generate electricity and save the rest of the oil for things like plastics.

Stay focused! Stay frosty
