Was Earth meant to last forever? Is there any reason to care whether or not Earth is still here after the eventual extinction of man? If the oceans rise ten feet in our lifetime, would we really do anything other than move further in land? New Orleans has a lower elevation than the water bordering it. What do we do? We build walls and pump the water out of the city. Does that make sense when there is so much more land mass in the country? Is this how man fights climate change?
Climate change is a naturally recurring cycle and until someone can give me evidence that mankind has influenced the rotation of climate cycles, I will consider it arrogant to think that we can change it in any way. Maybe we can push our moon away from Earth and change the strength of tides?
Sorry, but I am not concerned with a few inches of coastline loss in my lifetime. Do I care about the future of mankind and the loss of land mass in our country? Nope, because I will be dust for a long time as will my children and grandchildren way before there is any threat to man's existence in this world. So, once you all figure out how to change the weather, please raise the temps in the mountains up North, because I miss the mountains but hate cold weather. A year round average of 75-85 degrees would suit me just fine. And stop planting so many flowering plants because pollen is much worse than carbon emissions on my breathing.

Sorry, but human sacrifice won't work here. After all, we would have to sacrifice a virgin, and at least according to the author of "Leisureville", we a fresh out of those.
