It seems you are going to continue with your strawman. Please point to the quote from one person that has said the global warming will result in the TOTAL DESTRUCTION of the planet. The destruction of an ecosystem capable of sustaining certain life forms on the planet is not the total destruction of the planet. The total destruction of the planet is not likely to occur until the sun expands to become a red dwarf billions of years from now.Don't you believe "the total destruction of the planet as a result of man-made global warming" is happening?
