1. That's pretty optimistic...Especially considering we're already seeing it's effects. Stronger storms, record breaking heatwaves all across the U.S. and in Europe, unprecidented droughts and flooding. I can't imagine what things will be like when people start being displaced by rising tides, or the serious food shortages start. Also, you don't have or plan to have kids? You don't have anyone in your life that it's important to you that will be alive after your gone? That's pretty sad...

2. All of that is false. I'm actually not sure how you think any of that is true...

3. Of course we know how to replace ICEs...Ford and Chevy have electric cars on the way that will do 200 miles on a single charge. In 5 years, they'll be at 400 miles, and it will take 10 minutes to recharge them.

1. No it isn't when your over exaggerating like the rest of the alarmists and it's funny how you assume that some anonymous person over the internet doesn't have a legacy ... 

2. How so ? Cars are a big part of emission and you can't get much done without them like going to school/work/etc. Expecting people to replace their gas powered cars overnight is pure folly when most of our current vehicles work and gas has never been cheaper than before ... (Say bye bye to your heating system too if you want to save the planet LOL) 

3. 5 years is not short term ... 

1. A big part of your argument was "who cares, I'll be dead!" which only really makes sense if you don't have a legacy. Do you just not give a shit about your legacy then? Also;

Storms are getting stronger

Droughts are getting worse

2015 was the hottest year on record (and saw a record jump).

Climate change is causing food shortages, and they'll get worse.

2. Who said anything about replacing these systems overnight? Just because it won't happen over night doesn't mean we shouldn't bother. And no, you won't have to give up heating. I'd love to see your source for that.

 

3. 5 years is really fast in this context. That's one model cycle for a car.
