Cannot stop climate change; adaptation only way

I am tired of the doomsday prophets and their lies that are just over emphasized extreme edges of estimated probibilities, to take money from the naive.

Greenpeace, Sierra Club, IPCC and the green likes all profit from the fears they instill, and tell those that believe, that they will somehow save them. Yet they have yet to show by example that there is a feasable solution to counter their prophecies.

There is nothing we can do that will make any significant enough of a change to stop whatever changes are coming. World population growth eclipses even the best estimates of possible CO2 reductions. Even with the increase in solar panels and renewable energy sources being installed (Site C), which I have maxed out what solar power BC Hydro will allow on my house, it barely keeps up with the world’s growing demand for power.

The only way to survive in this world, past, present, and future, has and is to adapt to the changes. The faster one is willing and able to adapt, is the truest example of success regardless of what challenges comes one’s way. The wider the range of your acceptable comfort zone the easier you will adapt to change. The smaller you choose your acceptable range of tollorable living, the more you will be a NIMBY that tries to stop unstoppable changes and the first to die with the inevitable changes.

Maybe it is the fear and understanding of this that makes the prophecies a truth only for those unwilling to adapt to the changes.
