    Not the point.

    That is not at all what anyone is saying.

    Just because you don't understand a thing, does't mean that nobody can.

    Of course we can.

    the tradeoffs are largely negative. Widespread desertification will occur. Sea level will rise, inundating low coastal areas. Extictions are already occurring.

    It does if we lose our last polar bear habitats. There is no shortage of rain forests. It's a negative tradeoff.

    Pretty big if. However, who is really to say that polar bears are more important than rain forests?

    again, 99% of the animals that ever lived are now extinct. many of them because of climate change. i promise you you will be fine even if there are not polar bears in the world, helping you in whatever way they help you.

    Changing the subject because you can't argue climate change. Polar bears are only one of many snowballing problems.

    We have plenty of rain forests already if they are important to anyone. If the tundra becomes a rain forest, we lose the polar bears and other species forever.
