Lets say the climate experts are right and earth warms up another 2 celsius over the next 45 years.
Heck, lets take the worst case scenario and say earth warms up 5 degrees C over the next 45 years.

Antarctica is currently -31C. And dont forget its summer there now.
See here: https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/antarctica

So even a 5 degree celsius warming is only going to reduce the temperature there to about -26 celsius.
How in the hell is that going to melt the south pole?? It defies common sense.
Earth would have to warm about 30 degrees before the whole thing melts.
And since earth has only warmed 1.5 degrees since industrial age started in 1900, its literally impossible for earth to warm more than another 5 degrees.

Then add to that Canada's winters have hardly warmed up either.
I've lived in Toronto for the past 30 years and unfortunately winters have barely changed.
Every year its the same cold, shitty winter.

Unless I'm missing something, global warming is an exaggerated pile of bullshit.

Just my $0.02
Yes, you are clearly missing something.

World will still be pumping oil 45 years from now and beyond into the
future though production volume will be only a fraction of where it is
now. I can assure you the drop in production won't have anything to
do with climate change or transition to renewable energy
Yeah, pretty much

You have to amplify global warming by turning up the heat
in your residence. And in Summer air-conditioning in your
unit will also worsen global warming. You have to stop
believing in global warming at the thermostat like you do
at the gas pump.

Actually I asked them to give up everything they have that was derived from the oil/gas industry and they said....ummmmmm....no thanks.
You're being played.
Being played like fiddle. Buy electric, install solar panels to heat your house, plant based diet to save on cow farts and put up windmills everywhere to power the electric grid, including a million vehicle charging stations. Frankie must have enjoyed this game just a little too much as a kid.

I am not a climate scientist and whether there would be any changes I cannot say. But you do not have to be an alarmist to see that something is going on and it is not good.

we are still emerging from an ice age
does the fact that it is mother nature & not mankind's doing, make it acceptable?

Antarctica holds 90% of the planets ice, and 70% of the freshwater
The Antarctic Ice Sheet measures nearly 4.9 kilometers (3 miles) at its thickest point and contains about 30 million cubic kilometers (7.2 million cubic miles) of ice.
It is frozen 99% of the time.
it is not going to melt anytime soon

No, unacceptable either way. It's the part about being only Mother Nature that's a complete load of shit:poop:!!!

Says the guy who attempted to peddle a story about Antarctica having palm trees and conveniently leaves out the part about the history of the continent and plate tectonics.
Instead he tries to echo the bs that if climate change continues at the current rate, there could be palm trees there again in the future.
Just because you're being played doesn't mean you have to indoctrinate others.

Allow me to introduce you to a new word, paleontology.

Not really sure what you are trying to distract to this time but here's a better word: Paleoclimatology

Third atmosphere
The constant rearrangement of continents by plate tectonics influences the long-term evolution of the atmosphere by transferring carbon dioxide to and from large continental carbonate stores.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology


So the question for you is how much carbon tax do we need to pay to keep the continents from moving?
