re: Why scientists are so worried about this glacier

Climate Change is the natural order of the Earth’s climate.

Whether the present climate change is the result of human interaction and to what degree is fairly moot.

We’ll adapt and survive. Might not be pretty in human terms but it’s what we do.

The waves of plague weren’t pretty. They were so severe to human population numbers because we had stopped being hunter gatherers and had started to live in towns where the density made plague terrible.

We survived.

Climate change will impact presently arable lands taking them out of viable production. Possibly that might trigger food shortages or famine in some parts of the world. Terrible, but the survival of the species is not at risk.

People are starving today just like they have for EVERY year of (at least) the past several millennia, we are not breaking new ground here.

We will survive.
