It's all about risk assessment. There are a lot of perceived risks to human survival. The sun going super nova, big meteor crashing into the earth, unstoppable plauges, killer bees...etc. As you said, lot of speculation with respect to humans and climate change. 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
