Bacteriaphages are a promising solution to the super-bug outbreaks. Hoping things like this don't get out of hand before bacteriaphage research is at a point in which it can be safely used in human.
The average global temperature has been increasing exponentially since the industrial revolution. What else is new? Things still fall down instead of up?

It's a problem no matter how old it is. Trying to trivialize it with sarcasm isn't helping.
Exponentially? We'd already be fried crispy if it was exponential. The average in some places has consistently gone up. The average in others has gone down. Plenty of other places have been fluctuating.
The whole thing's been blown massively out of proportion. "Global cooling, global warming, C02 good, C02 bad, ozone layer", Mayan doomsday. Meanwhile politicians are consolidating their own power and lining their own pockets. "Oil bad! Nuclear bad! Green New Deal! I'm scared". Give it a rest already, they've been trying to stir the hysteria since before my grandpa was born.
You're right, global temperature isn't increasing exponentially, that's my mistake. But CO2 levels are almost double their highest recorded points in the past. Climate change due to humans is far from just "hysteria." Besides that, my point was that condemning actual, real problems to the "what else is new" pile is how actual, real catastrophes occur. Ignoring or excusing the problem won't make it go away.
So the single nation in the world reducing it's C02 output just enough to barely offset the EU's C02 increases, while China and India are each increasing output by two or three times that amount, needs to do something about it or the world will be uninhabitable by 2016? Like we were told in 08.
And giving trillions of dollars to those nations while wrecking our own will do the trick, yes?
Who said a single nation had to do it? No one said "this is America's responsibility" in this thread, that's just you jumping to conclusions ¯\_(ツ)_/ ¯
It's always America's responsibility with you people.
No nation should do it. To do so invites famine, starvation, disease, war, and all other things that come with scarcity.
The first world would have to give up it's prosperity while simultaneously blocking the developing world from achieving their own. Nevermind the strategic implications. All to stop something that alarmists have said will kill us in 10 years every 5 years now.
Climate change might kill us in a few centuries if we're stupid enough to abandon nuclear development or alternative energies, but the measures being championed at the UN and before the international community will kill us in a matter of decades.
A glorious death of blood and fire for the bold, and rot or starvation for the meek, but hardly one we should invite to address what isn't nearly as bad as we're being lied to believe.
I'm intrigued, which scientific reports have you read that actually say "the earth will be a boiling pot in 10 years and everything will be dead by then?" because I'm pretty sure that most, at least of the serious reports, state that we might not even notice most of the effects of global warming within our lifetime. "Merely" that it's a problem that will accumulate sometime in the future and will drastically change the climate for the worse. And yes temperatures are increasing in some places, lowering in some and fluxuating in other, but the trend, accounting for readings since at least the 19th century, is going up. Besides CO2 isn't the only pollutant. Gasoline for example usually contains some amounts of sulfur that, when released into the environment, causes acidification that can have devestating effects on certain areas as plant and animal life usually are pH dependant. CO2 also decreases pH as it can mix with water and create carbonic acid. Heating is not the only problem.

That's uhhhh, another conclusion and you leapt at it.
