- It is mostly anthropogenic.
- It doesn't mean the end of the world or civilization as some like to hype it up to.
- There are negative (and yes positive) effects. While it seems as if the long-term net effect is negative, this is almost impossible to predict, and very subjective based on varying values.
- A hundred years from now we will think of climate change like we did the crisis of the industrial revolution creating so large a population that we can't sustain its consumption (see: Malthus.) Sure the climate will have changed, but not so greatly that we need to demolish civilization. Coastal cities will adjust with new technology, and in some areas (such as in colder regions, food production can increase due to higher global temperatures.)
- The effects are disproportionate. Some countries will be affected a lot more than others, negatively and positively.
- Runaway greenhouse effect (and it ilk) are scare tactics. The probability for such models to come fruition are similar to winning the recent power-ball that was in the news for a week or so, very little.
