The climate
is changing Muddy as you so rightly point out, at least we can agree on that. But the climate is not, and never has been static...
There have been drought and forest fires since time began. The seeds of some trees actually only germinate after a period of 'raging inferno's' it is one of nature's way of clearing out the old and replacing it with new.
Mountains and valleys have been forged by receding ice and flood, where were humans then Muddy....Humans do not have the power to prevent climate change, no more than we have the power to alter gravity all beit on a small scale.
Even if humans have contributed to the speed of that change (which I very much doubt) change is coming and is inevitable.
Humans have not inhabited this planet long enough to experience all of the facets of climate change. Some previous occupants have, and are now extinct.
Here in the western world and elsewhere, we have fashioned out a very comfortable existence, one that cannot be sustained. And as sure as eggs is eggs it will eventually come to a sticky end, but you and me have no need to worry Muddy because we'll be long gone....
