EXCERPT: " he describes a world where the temperature is rising and human activity is probably responsible for an increasing portion of it — but notes that the climate isn’t “broken”, the incidence of heat waves are par for the course, and the seas are staying put for the foreseeable future. In short, humans aren’t anywhere close to the verge of irreversible, climate-induced extinction."
Seems some Islands are facing extinction from climate change and the weather seems quite nasty in places of late. Best we expect the worst scenario and adjust accordingly.
"Global sea levels are rising and the world’s land ice is disappearing. The global sea level between 1992 and 2018 rose about six to eight inches in total, with 0.7 inches caused by the melting of Antarctica and Greenland ice sheets alone.12 By the year 2100, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change estimates that sea levels will rise between 11.4 and 23.2 inches if the world is able to drastically reduce its greenhouse gas emissions between now and then. If not, these figures could be almost double.3
While rising sea levels ultimately influence the entire planet, they pose the greatest threat to islands at close to sea level.
Here are 14 islands, many of them small nations, under threat by climate change."

We are in a interglacial period, sea levels rise and sea levels fall, as they have many times in the past. IMO, the present hysteria is being driven by companies and conglomerates who stand to profit trillions inflaming the masses. Mankind won't stop climate change or sea level rise, it's as inevitable as tomorrow . ... research reveals that ice melt in the last interglacial period caused global seas to rise about 10 metres above the present level. The ice melted first in Antarctica, then a few thousand years later in Greenland. Sea levels rose at up to 3 metres per century, far exceeding the roughly 0.3-metre rise observed over the past 150 years.theconversation.com/scientists-looked-at-sea-levels-125-000-years-in-the-past-the-results-are-terrifying-126017

Adding fear to the masses about it and profiting is definitely the reason why. We cannot change the planets weather patterns,, who are they kidding?
