I don't understand this comment. It comes up a lot, but nobody is seriously concerned about the Earth. Clearly global warming is a threat to humans and our way of live. Pretending that people worry about the Earth is a strawman.

Even if it is not, how is it of any consolation that a round rock revolving around a burning ball of hydrogen and helium will be fine? Even stating that "humanity will survive (but millions or billions will suffer and die)" isn't any consolation at all.
