Just my two cents: Climate change threats are being over-hyped by those people/companies who stand to benefit from "green" energy/society.
These orgs are spreading propaganda to high-school teens by telling them lies sprinkled with a bit of truth and causing them to protest because the teens on average cannot make a better judgment then people with decades of experience.
Nothing is going to happen. I for one wont hold my breath.
For what it's worth, it seems the companies that have been benefiting from the not "green" tech and society have been and still are spreading propaganda to minimize the fear/awareness/etc of climate change.
I mean, look at Trump and this coal stuff. Look at how much money Oil companies spend on this. One large difference, I think, is that the money being spent by the oil giants is influencing the opinions of fewer, but more powerful, people, such as congress-persons and other political figures.
I guess technically your guess about nothing happening is as good as anyone's, but it really doesn't seem like that is the case. I'd love for climate change theorists to be wrong and actually it turns out that the Earth is fine and we haven't caused irreversible effects to the climate and planet, but wouldn't you rather we work on cleaner energy and be wrong, than do nothing and be wrong?
