Your stance on climate change

[Kingpoleon]

YES: 1. I believe the world's average temperatures are getting warmer    
YES: 2. I believe that the warming patterns now are unprecedented in the historical record         
YES: 3. I believe that this warming is caused by an increase in CO2 in the atmosphere         
YES: 4. I believe that this increase in CO2 is caused by human industry         
NO: 5. At best, we have until 2050 to remedy this crisis     
NO: 6. At best, we only have 12 years before we do irreparable damage to our planet         
NO: 7. It’s too late for us to fix this; our solutions now have to focus on mitigating the severity of climate change         
YES: 8. This problem cannot be solved solely through innovation; we need to reduce our personal consumption         
YES: 9. We need carbon taxes and caps on emissions         
YES: 10. We need subsidies to renewable energies like wind and solar         
NO: 11. Nuclear energy should be our prime focus, as it is the energy source of the future
~SORT OF: 12. Small changes aren't enough; we need to completely reform our economy from the ground up         
~: 13. Limiting population growth in western countries is an important part of the path forward         
YES: 14. Limiting population growth in developing nations is an important part of the path forward         
~: 15. I support the Green New Deal and would like to see it implemented as policy         
NO: 16. We should be depopulating areas at sea level and establishing funds to help people in these regions relocate

NO: 18. We need to cease coal production immediately         
YES: 19. Plane travel should become far less common         
NO: 20. To decrease agricultural emissions, we should encourage vegetarian diets
NO: 21. Insects are the food of the future; they provide protein and harvesting them is cheap and energy efficient         
YES: 22. We should be developing technology to remove CO2 from the atmosphere         
~: 23. Personal automobiles should be phased out in favor of cleaner public transport         
NO: 24. Oil companies should be held legally culpable for the damage they've done to the planet.

We should instate a high speed rail program, running off of solar and wind power, traveling at speeds of 200-250 miles per hour; initiate a carbon tax of $10 a ton, increasing it to $31 a ton within five years; increase the federal gas tax by fifteen cents; use the funds to pay for the high speed rail network and solar/wind/hydroelectric power; instate a 5% surcharge tax on all airline tickets, generating $8.9 billion*, which will also go to paying for the above.

*(Delta, United, American, Southwest, Allegiant, JetBlue, Spirit, Alaskan, Hawaiian, Sun Country generated ~$178.5 billion in revenue in 2018)

I believe that the Earth is getting warmer through both natural and man-made processes.  But, the US is contributing relatively little to the man-made part per-capita compared to other nations.  Regardless, I simply don't buy into the global warming hysteria.  If the Earth warms 5-10 degrees, all it will mean is more pleasant winters.  Florida and NYC aren't going to sink below the sea.  If places like that were, we would have started to see high-profile examples of that already, as the Earth has warmed several degrees.

TL/DR: Global warming is real, but no big deal.

Oh, you mean like Miami Beach would have to raise their sewer system by twenty feet because its streets would otherwise be underwater? Yeah, already happened. Disappearing islands in the Pacific? Already happening. Melting ice passageways in Canada that can now let container ships in where fifty years ago you had to walk over the ice? Already happening.

Are you literally blind to news about this?
