I am not taking a position at this time as to whether the species faces 'suicide' or any comparable cataclysm. BTW, same tired refrain, people commit suicide, but a species doesn't and can't commit anything.

Caring about what happens to the species is based the same instinct as caring what happens to one's family, just abstracted out. But while I can take some effective action at the family level, I don't think there's poop I can do aboout the species.

I stand by my statement: what advocates are saying is necessary within 10 years to avert climate change will not happen, probably never, definately not within 10 years. If the alternative is cataclysm, then fasten your seat belts.
