...but they've all made up their minds regardless. Climate deniers (a skeptic can be convinced by evidence but if you're not convinced by 07% of scientists, 08% of published papers and the consensus of every scientific body on earth, you're just a denier) all have different excuses but their solution is always exactly the same, don't do anything.

This is a real, existential threat which will destroy our civilization in it's present form if we don't get a handle on it pretty much NOW.

Buh-Bye! Have a nice trip. When you get out in space there is something called a vacuum, but that is WAY too hard to understand
