Primitive indigenous people depopulated themselves because they thought it would stop climate change.
I'm glad we're not silly like that in modern times.

Kathmandu (AFP) – UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres urged the world Monday to "stop the madness" of climate change as he visited Himalayan regions struggling from rapidly melting glaciers to witness the devastating impact of the phenomenon.
"The rooftops of the world are caving in," Guterres said on a visit to the Everest region in mountainous Nepal, adding that the country had lost nearly a third of its ice in just over three decades.
"Glaciers are icy reservoirs –- the ones here in the Himalayas supply fresh water to well over a billion people," he said. "When they shrink, so do river flows."
Scientists say they are melting faster than ever before due to climate change, exposing communities to unpredictable and costly disasters.
"I am here today to cry out from the rooftop of the world: stop the madness", Guterres said, speaking from Syangboche village, with the icy peak of the world's highest mountain Everest towering behind him.

And there's nothing that can be done to stop it.
The sky is falling
Climate has been changing for 5 Billion years due to cycles in the Sun which is million times bigger than earth. We get ice ages followed by global warming.
Last uce age was 25000 years ago. Then global warming happened. Long before man was burning fossilfuels.
Worry much more about next ice age. It will kill more mammals by orders of magnitude than a global warming.
The Himalayas are on fire. The earth is a boiling cauldron of molten lava. Who is this guys copy writer? Does someone have to sit around 24/7 thinking of new garbage to say about the climate?
Yes. That is the thing-we who reject climate change do not deny that climate changes, and even that it is warming.
We deny that the change is both caused primarily by man, and that man can do something to “fix” it.
Did he take his private jet to get there?
The Himalayan region is surrounded by China and India, the worlds two worst polluters. Eliminate those two countries and you will save the planet. /spit
Its beautiful to see things growing where they didn’t before.

“The rooftops of the world are caving in,”
That’s from Hamas rockets, dude. Tell them to use ethical locally-sourced recyclable materials.
bert urges the world to get rid of folks like Antonio Guterres who is parasitic in all his pronouncements
Sell sky...
“When the glaciers shrink, so do the river flows.”
Don’t melting glaciers make the river flows?…
I believe I witnessed a whole lot of flowing water from melting glaciers in Iceland.
Maybe it was just Viking magic…
Buy low, sell high
Another useless wokest nut job who thinks exactly like the addled patrd enemy in rhe white Hut
I could support spending money to cope with, adapt to, climate change... but not to “combat” climate change as though humans can control it in any way.
He thinks he’s somebody
Did he make this speech just after having stepped off his private 787...the one designed to carry a dozen people?
What are they supposed to do? Install air conditioners?
Idiots.
Earth has been here roughly 4.5 billion years and has never needed puny humans. One good belch could wipe out all life and start all over.
