Belief That "Second Coming" May Be Preventing Climate Change Action

52. False equivalency

Equating fundamentalists to so called 'doomers' is ridiculous.

First of all, all life is parasitic is some form or fashion.
Climate change could very well fuck our current civilization if not dealt with.
Notice, I said current civilization? That means other human civilizations will follow us, likely ones that our grandchildren might curse us for.
Consumption is a huge problem. There is no reason to not conserve, be frugal, and minimize one's impact on the world around them. A transition to other economic forms that do not stress consumptive behavior is definitely needed.
Embrace our immanent demise? Why would a 'doomer' advocate that? The whole point of 'their' philosophy is to wake people the fuck up from their consumption induced coma so that we can pull humanity's collective ass out of the fire.
The IPCC lays out a pretty grim picture already, but it is hard to fault some folks for thinking that the IPCC may have softballed their predictions. Data since that study was released have only shown that climate change is increasing faster than expected.
I have not seen anyone that considers others that accept climate change as fact be attacked as a denier. Minimizer, definitely though. I don't see that as being any different from you describing them as exaggerators, which is all a matter of opinion.
But going so far as to somehow put 'doomers' in league with end-timers? That is pretty extreme.
