14. I'm just injecting a little rationality into the climate madness.

There's no denial that humans are dramatically affecting the environment.

The extent and severity of the damage is still unknown. When I was a kid, the same climate alarmists were claiming the Statue of Liberty would be half-way under water by now.

Chances are it's more hyperbole. I welcome the apocalypse because it's not going to happen.

The momentum is behind clean technologies like electric cars, solar panels, and frankenmeat. This hyperbole only serves to distract the grandeur of those up and coming successes and isolate environmentalism from the mainstream.
