No, that would be me. (Lol for the irony!)

I think some people just get off being hated by others, as if it's some badge of honor to annoy others to the point that they hate you. I know people like that who count others as hating them even if the others don't really, they just act in a way that, in their minds, the other person must hate them for it. That would make them rather deluded individuals.

A bit of heat, everyone can take and even enjoy.

Climate change regionally though means starvation and relocation of the dispossessed.

That is more the harm of climate change and global warming.

Desertification or otherwise changing the status quo will have people fighting for resources even more than we do today.

Mind you, as a world, we are progressing rather well at the moment.

We have pulled a full billion out of poverty in the last 20 years and demographers say we will do the same in the next 20 years.

Which billion people were pulled from poverty? And which billion are next?

Typical literal yank. I don't expect anyone on a forum to have particularly deep feelings either way for other forum members.

Oh, ok so 'he' can bake us to death?
or
Oh, ok so 'he' can flip the climate throwing us into another ice age?

Maybe i 'just don't get you' but this appears to be yet another pointless thread from you, asking yet another question where i'm sure you will not follow it through to reach a conclusion within that dismal cavern between your ears.

Have an attofishpi poem, might ease the "curiosity":-

A star
from afar
or so close
this one i boast
does power my car
i run afar
places never guilt
now its coated in silt
aeons of fury
nature my judge and jury
but i feel so fine
its running all the time
to take me nowhere
why should i care
noone ever does
whats all the fuss
fuck it any way
the Earth can suck it all day
millenia of energy
stored up and exhaled
in a spliff of a century
someone said to me
take your foot off the peddle
with the balance you've meddled
but we say back
fuck nature, fuck that
fuck everything we're a new breed
im human i need
oh planet?
we never planned it!

You would have to check with the demographers.

That both science and religion say not to be concerned.

Since you say this thread is pointless, then why not put me on your ignore list?

1. Do you believe in both science and religion to such an extent that you would be willing to exhale from the Earth many millions of years of stored C02 into the atmosphere within a period of 100 years and expect there would be no repercussions?

2.I'm not a shallow tosser, i don't have an ignore list...it simply doesnt exist.

On point 1, what do You actually believe?

Sure, i'll let you know what i believe will happen.
My question was first though, do you you believe there will be no consequence to releasing many millions of years worth of stored Co2 into the atmosphere...are you certain or do you just believe?

Here are my thoughts.

Weather forecasting is highly unreliable so why should I put credence in climate forecasting which can only be more unreliable. Second there seems to be a (US) government conspiracy to snow us into believing there is global warming which will result in loss of land.

So what do you believe? Your turn.

First i believe that you...and anyone that believes that releasing millions and millions years worth of stored C02 into the atmosphere in such a short period of time will have no consequence is an idiot. Let me reiterate an IDIOT. Why would you not attempt to find sources of energy that would diminish any possibility of such a consequence considering our limited understanding climate change.
Secondly, my belief of such a scenario is that it will result in another ice-age. As more fresh-water is released from the ice-caps it will result in a slowing of the currents both north and south of the ice caps. As this slows the air becomes cooler. The entire northern hemisphere including the UK and northern Europe will be thrown into an eventual ice freeze.
