I *do* see the Earth headed toward disaster.  Rising sea levels and higher temps are just the most obvious examples.  Humans have an amazing ability to adapt to our environments and then to alter them to our will.  But we are still just animals and can only survive if we have air and water and food and shelter.  Climate change will challenge and change a lot of that.

We are seeing the shifting weather patterns already.  The question is if we can slow it, stop it or reverse it.  Or if it is too late.

Now, with all that said, a natural disaster could radically alter our planet and make all of this moot.  Gigantic volcanic eruption that cools the earth for example.  But we should be working (together) toward answers anyway.  IMHO.

But are the shifting patterns only worse because of how we are arranged now or are they worse overall.  I'm not suggesting one way or the other, but it seems a little ridiculous to just assume we are now at the ideal climate and any shift is a disaster for this planet.
