I would have thought CFC was replaced quicksmart when it was clear that Ozone depletion will mean higher UV radiation and that affect more White folks than the tanner ones
Climate Change and fossil fuel on the other hand... well it kill poor White folks living in low lying areas or way out in the bush, and also poor people in poor countries... so let's drag our feet and build ourselves better mansions on higher grounds.

That's offensive grasshopper.
But out of interest, research the housing accommodations of the chief alarmists and report back... for your own edification of course.

Truth often are Sifu.
If the oil magnate and politicians live near major roads and bridges, if their house are not air-conditioned and their livelihood depends on good weather for crops; and if their office and transports are not air-filtered... they'd "see" the urgency a bit quicker.
'Til then, coal is a beautiful thing, good for humanity; and what's that joke our current immigration minister was caught about pacific islanders with water lapping at their doors? ha ha ha... I guess if his house were around the area he wouldn't find it so funny.

Disappointed you have forsaken Tao to indulge in gross generalizations to support an ideological position.

Bad Grasshopper
When science and reason point to a likely catastrophic future, one where all government seem to agree is a possible reality yet all seem to not do much beside making promises, fine speeches and accelerate fossil consumption and dependency... there are no alternative thy grasshopper can take but to conclude that some invisible hand with deep pockets are leading our leaders astray and giving the poor and our grandchildren the finger.
That and to imply that if the leaders were to not live in a bubble they would, as reasonable and sympathetic human beings, do something to alleviate the sufferings of millions. Such is being too generous for thy disciple fear that these leaders are aware of the danger, have been briefed on the potential crap storm (and some real normal stormy weather) that will flood cities and towns, washing away lives and livelihood... and yet chose to do jack about it because their true masters and their own self interests told them it's their job to lead and real leaders do not care for the little things like life and death (suffered by other people).
But a million apologies to have disappoint you Sifu. I will fetch water as punishment - was that Mount Franklin or just plain old Woolies Home Brand?

Fire water will suffice
Science?
Reason?
Catastrophic future?
Well, yes, when the sun transmogrifies into a red giant we are pretty well stuffed. That's when we may see some runaway global warming. We have some time before then however.
As to the the nearer term future, it is best summed up by Ms Curry "We don't farkin' know" (paraphrased), exemplified be the failure of the models to predict the trajectory of change, inter alia.
In fact my prediction, consistent with my long term view, is that we will get ourselves into trouble from other anthropomorphic factors exclusive of warming.

Many things cannot be predicted with precision, doesn't mean it's not happening or not going to happen.
Nobody can predict how a war will pan out, but it doesn't take much to know that any war will kill a lot of people, destroy countless cities and towns, make a few people very rich and with luck it end with enough humanity still left to start another one soon.
But true, at our current leadership mindset, other events will probably mean climate change is like a walk in the park (with canoes and face mask on a good day)

Send half of that down south then we'll all be happy.
It's seriously dry in Tas at the moment. Dry in Vic too to my understanding.

Weather extremes were forecast as a consequence of global warming.
The evidence is now bearing out the predictions.

What weather extremes? This has been going on for centuries??
I love a sunburnt country,
A land of sweeping plains,
Of ragged mountain ranges,
Of droughts and flooding rains.
I love her far horizons,
I love her jewel-sea,
Her beauty and her terror -
The wide brown land for me!
Dorothea Mackellar wrote this in 1907 and was first published in 1908 !!
Yeah, with extreme ar$oholes predicting it.
Ahla Tim Flannery 2007...there will never be enough rains to fill the dams in Brisbane, Sydney and Melbourne..
GLOBAL WARMING.........What GLOBAL WARMING?......It is now CLIMATE CHANGE.
THE only way to fix it is to send Pat and Murphy up to the Sun with bucket of ice to cool it down......They said they can do it by going up at night time.
Rumpy, you have to have a sense of humor.

If you look at the actual risk adjusted stats, rather than the Guardian, you will see that extreme weather events are not increasing

Meanwhile in Canberra ...
Hopefully that will flush the sewers (read Parliament House) out of a few rats

Must be global warming or climate change or extreme weather events causing it to be so windy
