Really can’t wait to dig into this guys book and read more from his perspective a complete different perspective then what I’m used too.

I think climate change deniers are like flat-earthers.  They are more and more irrelevant.  They're just off in their own little corner talking among themselves, dreaming up conspiracy theories and demonizing the scientific community, while most people have moved on to the relevant question, which is, what can we do, what will work, what can we afford, etc.  

Personally, I am pretty sure it's not going to wipe out the human race.  It might be pretty bad, and as usual the billions of poor people around the world will bear the brunt of it.  But it's happening so slowly, I am pretty sure we can muddle through and come out the other side somehow.   We can safely assume we're not willing to cripple our economy and way of life, so what will happen is a whole lot of ways we get through it.  Sea walls, moving off the coastline and out of flood prone areas, low-lying cities abandoning the ground floor of buildings, installing pumping systems, and thousands of other things.  I believe in human ingenuity and adaptability.
