What Environmental Reporting Leaves Out

3. Not the best article I've come across.

This may be a complex problem, but there are indeed things that we can be sure of:

1.)Earth will not turn into Venus, nor will humanity go extinct solely because of climate change; the former in particular, is impossible.
2.)Things will likely get notably worse for a while, but there are things we can do to mitigate and halt the negative changes, and even reverse many of them(though, of course, most of the species that have gone extinct are likely gone for good and the icecaps will take many, many decades to recover), even though many so-called skeptics believe that it would be too hard and too expensive to do so, and "not worth it", etc..
3.)The end of globalised civilization as we once knew it, does not necessarily mean the end of civilization, period.
4.)There is hope for a better world, but how soon this becomes reality all depends on how soon we act.
5.)There will not be any absolute sudden shifts in the climate.

(You should note that these points are not a direct response to the article itself for the most part, but these are very important points to make).
