“Evolution?” Your idea is we’ll evolve our way out of what’s coming?
Politicians who don't understand evolution, life, or X risk. If life on Earth survived the Chicxulub impactor that exterminated 75% of all species, including all non-avian dinosaurs, 66 million years ago, it will probably survive a gradual 2 degree increase in temperature.https://twitter.com/IlhanMN/status/1096482619246723074 …

Or the even more catastrophic Permian-Triassic extinction event 250 million years ago. It is estimated that 90% of genera went extinct during that event.

Sure, it's probably going to survive. But bad things will still likely happen because of it

Under what scenario exactly no bad things will likely happen ? Then, what is the practical reach of such a statement ?

America can't solve the world's climate change issue even if it wanted to. It's couldn't solve poverty, hunger and create peace and now these dodos want it to solve climate on a global scale?? Lol
