   @Wolf480pl why do you think those are myths? Every nation agreed to the Montreal Protocol, which put limits on emissions of the gases that were destroying the ozone layer. Now the ozone is replenishing, and the hole over Antarctica is starting to close up. The same is true of treaties to protect whales, preventing their extinction. Why not CO2, when the stakes are so much higher? (1/2)

      Your second point depends entirely on your point of view. The extinction event that wiped out the dinosaurs worked out pretty well for mammals, but not so well for them. Our extinction might be great for a future non-human civilization in millions of years, but it's not such great news for us. We are a keystone species, so we'll go out long before the rats and roaches.
