If everyone lives like a developed first world person then you need three earths to sustain the demand of resources.
The worlds population is growing and getting faster and faster.
The planet is getting raped of its resources...with more humans on it, more pollution etc it is no wonder there are strange natural events occurring.
Cockroaches will rule the earth soon as they will be the only survivors. I pity the next few generations...it is just going to get worse.
There have been something like 180 cases of arson...

Here is a link to an ABC (the national broadcaster in Australia) article today, debunking that claim:
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-01-08/fires-misinformation-being-spread-through-social-media/11846434
The article refers to the above claim and says the actual number of people charged is 24, and not all of those charged “...managed to spark large blazes”.
What Simon said ^^^^ - shepherdess, good points and I'll check out your links.
how carbon dioxide is a green house gas
Why don't you describe it as being a plant food that contributes to the increase in forestation and greenery happening?
You haven't just been conditioned to trot-out phrases like "green-house gas" have you?

The problem is that it has been a politicized issue for decades, now. As I understand it, the scientific consensus is that the planet is getting warmer and that human activity is contributing to that warming to some degree.
This has been used to promote ideas like there being only ten years before we enter an irreversible loop that will end all life on the planet, and other over-the-top warnings meant to force climate legislation through. Not suprisingly, this has lead to a pushback from people who are suspicious of any explanation of how humans are affecting the climate. Extremism begets extremism, basically.
Aside from a possible increase in severe weather events and a slight rising of sea levels, I am not sure what the potential outcomes are, per actual scientific research, because there is so much crap being flung all around. Demanding that nations implement 'climate plans' (that will cause problems with energy production and increase costs while providing less power) when there isn't a clear explanation of the What, Why and How is a sure way to prevent actual progress, which we are seeing as nations fall short of climate goals, or simply ignore them.
Angry teenagers shouting slogans isn't how you deal with a problem like this.
Greta is now almost 22 and her speech to the UN made me think she would make a good XJW activist:
"My message is that we'll be watching you.
This is all wrong. I shouldn't be up here. I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you all come to us young people for hope. How dare you!
"You have stolen my dreams and my childhood with your empty words. And yet I'm one of the lucky ones. People are suffering. People are dying".
