There is more to climate change than CO2. Earth has natural cycles that have nothing to do with humans: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Temperature_record#Ice_cores_.28from_800.2C000_years_before_present.29 Based on the Earth’s natural temperature cycles — which are due to its orbit, we are due for the return of the ice age — perhaps rising CO2 will prevent that — and to me, that’s a good thing. Do you want an ice sheet to cover North America?

And we are supposed to become hysterically concerned about something that might happen hundreds of years from now? Does anyone have any idea of what the human condition will be like in hundreds of years, or if humans will even still be around?

I don’t deny anthropogenic warming, but I just don’t feel very concerned about it, given other much more pressing concerns. Besides, humans have migrated before — the last ice age did not wipe us out, nor did the immense warming and 100 meter sea level rise that followed it.

Sea level rise does not happen suddenly in a catastrophic event: it happens slowly — millimeters per year. There can be local exceptions to that, such as the flooding of the Black Sea, but those exceptions can be anticipated well in advance. Horror stories perpetuated by the media, such as the flooding of NYC, are mis-attributed— NYC was flooded because it was hit head-on by a hurricane, but the global warming hysteria advocates want us to blame it on global warming. Yes, hurricanes might increase somewhat due to warming, but that is not an existential threat.
