I'm a Denier and proud of it. By the way, what happened to the ozone hole and acid rain? This is just more environmentalist agitprop. I’m a Denier and proud of it.

It's a shame a majority of these natural features disappearing is caused by us not taking better care of the earth. Though not much reversing of the effects can be done, but slowing down the process is still an option. Looks like a great bucket list of locations to visit.

I am deeply concerned with anthropocentric climate change. A close friend recently returned from a month at sea aboard the Melville, the research vessel for the Scripps Institute of Oceanography. He served as chief scientist. The primary purpose of the expedition was to monitor changes in the acidity of the ocean as a result of elevated levels of carbon dioxide. The changes currently taking place will affect our coral reefs and mollusk reproduction in the very near future. I still think a fine Pinot from the Antarctic Highlands is not without appeal. Cheers!

Yes, wouldn't Venus be just a peachy place for you to move to. The last time I counted, we had only one planet Earth. To celebrate the tragedies of climate disruption with such Pollyanna quips, one can only shake one's head is utter disbelief. Mega-fires, floods, droughts, hurricanes, heat waves. Yes, oh so grand. Won't it all be wonderful. Glass half full? Yes, wouldn’t Venus be just a peachy place for you to move to. The last time I counted, we had only one planet Earth.

How about things to do and places to see AFTER anthropocentric climate change? Kayakking to Kilimanjaro Island, maybe surfing in Colorado or better yet, tasting the exquisite wines of Antarctic Highlands. I prefer to see the glass as half full.
