How fuck are we from climate change? The way I see it, there are already too much green house gasses in the atmosphere. So regardless of what we do now, in the coming decades or centuries billions will die from starvation. Is this accurate?

we're pretty fucked. with 7.5e9+ people on the planet, and our built in short term optimization tendencies, it is impossible to address climate change. governments are needed to lead people on large scales. i have very little faith in humanity doing something about its destructive habits until most people are directly affected, which is a really shitty time to start doing something.

i wish people would limit themselves to 2 kids per woman. that would solve all our problems

There isn't any concrete speculation on what kind of changes we'll face temperature wise. The real issue is the increased acidity in bodies of water; were gonna see the consequences of that shit before anything else.

Admittedly making these sorts of predictions has shot them in the foot. Pretty retarded of them when its too complex to accurately predict. Now retards like you double down to take it to mean everything is just fine.
Bit like this.

The news needs to provide their mouth breathing readers with something conclusive in the headline to grab their attention

Gore: "The polar ice caps will melt soon"
News: "When? Give me a date"
Gore: "It's hard to give an exact date, our modelling says the absolute earliest would be 2014, but the more likely scenario is within the next two decades a 50% chance of total recession"

Next day
News: "Gore guarantees ice caps will disappear by 2014"

Forest fires have nothing to do with climate change and we have a sample size of several dozen decades at best. You're a brainlet and deserve to be ridiculed.
