I agree, I see lots of global warming books with "terror titles."

After all, global warming is denial of real science.

Global warming is real, and is very scary.


Not too scary to serve as inspiration for movies about imaginary
catastrophes, such as "The day after tomorrow".

One of the most dangerous
things the human race has ever faced, and one which has the

potential
to destroy our current civilization.


However, that wouldn't be the first time a human civilization has
been destroyed. It has happened several times before, and mankind
survived that. This time we're too many, we consume too much
resources, and we're too focused on eternal growth, which of course
is impossible within a finite world. That's the lesson we must learn
this time. If we don't learn it voluntarily, the Earth will teach us,
in a quite harsh way.
