Of course. But then, so are civilization ending comet strikes are as well. It is the timing of the thing that seems to get in the way.

And even if climate change wasn't happening, there are so many other environmental/ecological problems being caused by industrialised civilisation that it would be doomed to self-destruct anyway.

Happy Christmas!
even if…fast as possible…to late…irreversible…catastrophic..so many other…doomed…self-destruct…..yep….sounds pretty bad… not as bad as what everyone was claiming back in 1970 though, so this must mean things are getting better, people becoming so optimistic compared to back then.
