Nobody is saying the planet will die. The planet will do just fine; our coastal cities might be underwater, but the planet won't care about that.

The IPCC says the only weather extremes linked to climate change are increased high temperature records outside the tropics and subtropics, and more heat waves.

The IPCC specifically excludes things like increased rain, increased drought, stronger winter storms, stronger summer storms, etc. So any time you hear some activist claiming weather is caused by climate change, know that the mainstream scientists have said it's not true.

The oddest prediction was decreased land-falling hurricanes in the US, but right after that prediction was published we had the longest period in history of no major hurricanes hitting the US.
