I was talking to someone at the bus stop today and quoted myself from 2012:

My money's on runaway greenhouse effect punctuated by an asteroid and new Ice Age. One or the other might not get us, but the whiplash will.
Remember this? Good times. The Lounge: It's all over but for the sweating?

We've let this thread go on for 100 pages? Whoops!

No whataboutisms - those are likely results of climate change.
'Whataboutism' is a technique not a set of facts:
Quote:
Whataboutism
Whataboutism is a variant of the tu quoque logical fallacy that attempts to discredit an opponent's position by charging them with hypocrisy without directly refuting or disproving their argument, which is particularly associated with Soviet and Russian propaganda.More at Wikipedia
Tactic:Propaganda technique
Type:Tu quoque (appeal to hypocrisy)
Logic:Logical fallacy
I'm not going to link to [DrRandomercam:Tu Quoque Quoque] because language, but you can find it on Youtube. He reduces Tu Quoque Quoque to "LOL No U, No U". Funny stuff in an MRA sort of way but not his most impressive guitar work.

Which cover? There are so many. I remember when [us] younger folks started talking about an oncoming Ice Age.

The profligate use of fossil fuels has staved off the Ice Age temporarily.
