>>1376240First of all, climate change is a result of global warming, which is a result of a multitude of facets, one prime factor being the actions of mankind (namely, CO2 pollution, see the pic).
Even if climate change is happening (and has happened in the past), it doesn't mean it's not going to affect us even more so (more severely, that is) than without us polluting the planet. The droughts will be more severe, more widespread than before, the weather will most possibly become more unstable (more storms and hurricanes), and massive devastation will be dealt to the biosphere (all those cute/interesting animals you see on nature documentaries? Most of them will be wiped out.)
Those on this thread who are basically saying ''it's not our concern if nig nogs in Africa are frying in their mudhuts, we're still okay!'' don't seem to take into account the fact that people tend to migrate from places that are becoming inhabitable/hostile for us to live in. Consequently, we'll have other migrant crises in the future, which will bring about more socio-economical issues to deal with.
IPCC recently published a report on the impacts of global warming (specifically, on the current estimations concerning the 1.5 degree Celsius increase in the global temperature). And there's a ton of info available on this online. Just google for IPCC report or just go directly to the source: <

As a last remark, it's not so much about ''stopping climate change'' as it is about diminishing our part in it. Climate change happening within the fork of 50-500 years (plainly expressed: every 50-500 years) is, in my opinion too much to handle for the modern humans, while the earliest humans did these migrations within the fork of tens of thousands of years.
