It is a good thing that corporations have been declared to be persons. Maybe they will disappear with all the killed people.

So they say "it might be" . Should someone say "you are an idiot" you would presumably prefer to be judged as told "You might be an idiot" by a certain time. The Climate Crisis, some people wish away, should be considered as producing ecologically frail regions on some parts of the globe - an oil spill in the arctic seems not to have been considered in the "bill" or is so expensive and dangerous to the environment, that no honest research results are being thought to be published without an outcry of some environmentalists ! With best wishes for the future and greetings from Germany - Your bookworm Karl-Heinz This is not a personal insult or threatening a person's privacy !

We seem to be in the early stages of one such now, possibly exacerbated by human activity due to growing overpopulation. Live with it!

You say you want a report to declare "this will definitely happen" while science is daily reporting "this has already happened". @mememine69 : If observing the predictions of the IPCC reports coming true, in fact sooner than predicted, does not convince you of climate change then I suspect nothing will.
