As do I, though I haven't been posting there that long or often -- but more than enough to know BoscoX is a dumbass asshole.

And earth is already fuked - this i know for sure…any one disinclined to disagree?
I am a generalist and have a wide and varied and somewhat in depth knowledge of climate science. I not only really all the news articles I can, I also try to read many of the scientific studies behind those articles.
Just to clarify, the Earth is not fucked. The Earth will gone on for billions of year more. Life will very likely continue to exist though in very different forms.
Is Humanity fucked?
No, NOT yet. But a long means not yet. But it depend on what Humanity DOES and DOES soon and into the future how fucked it will be.
Is Civilization fucked? Maybe, but again, it depends on what we do and how soon we do it.
Is Civilization in trouble? Oh, yes, seriously trouble. We certainly have made the next 75 years (and likely beyond) a BIG MESS for Humanity.
The question is not can we stop that, but rather can we NOT make it an even BIGGER MESS.
I think Humanity can -- but it means getting past The Dumb. That has always been the core problem of Humanity. The know-nothings who believe that Ignorant opinions are of equal value to Knowledgeable ones; that Stupidity is worth just as much as Intelligence.
And it means getting past The Dumb As Soon As Possible. Trump the Clown and the Clueless Republicans in the USA are a serious threat to our entire planet -- of course, as Completely Clueless as they are, they really have no actual understanding of that face.
One of the things that will come back and slap the United States hard in the face is if starts undoing the leadership it has shown in leading the fight and developing the technology to deal -- somewhat -- with Climate Change. And UNDOING seems exactly what Orange Trump and the Little Republican Minds plan to do.
If the United States seriously tries and is even partially successful in Undoing, we are going to make things hotter and heavier for everyone on Earth. That means when (IF?) America every finds some degree of Rationality again, and the sooner the folks who don't think about tomorrow, are kicked HARD out the door is URGENT -- cause we are not only going to have to clean up the Mess the US already made, but the additional MESS the self-centered egotists *will* start making come the middle of January 2017.
The thing is, globally, the US is going to LOSE a massive amount of influence in the world because of this narrow-minded K00KS from it's failure to stay out front on Climate -- and that will also mean lose of influence in a lot of other areas.
Which means -- China wins! Yes as polluted and dirty that nation is, China is pushing damn hard to get itself passed oil and coal additions into renewal energy and Better Living For All (more or less). When (IF?) America regains sanity, it is going to be far behind in 2nd place.
Which means Man-baby Trump and the GOP will not have succeed a fair great America "Great", but will long=term make it much Lesser.
Right now for Humanity, the most important thing is for Us to make it through the next years of Trump The Clueless at least to the point where the United States (and the world) can rebound from this Ultraconservative Tragic Farce that soon will be playing worldwide.
*SHIT*
