But apparently you only read and mindlessly parrot climate conspiracy blogs. And even with this cooling, 2018 is on track to be the 4th hottest year on record:
Personally I don't care about Al Gore. Picking out one of his quotes is useless irrelevant cherry-picking. His foundation has done less to combat global warming than his heated pool has done to worsen it. I haven't and don't defend him. And yet, I still have to deal with cherry-picked beefs about his quotes from you and the rest of the deniosphere.
So you are willing to risk an oceanic mass extinction to avoid moving to the cleanest and what's rapidly becoming the cheapest form of energy, duly noted. Evolution can't outrun anthropogenic climate change though. This isn't your cretaceous grandaddy's climate change.
We know that the optimal temperatures are just slightly above pre-industrial levels and well below where we are now, no more work needs to be done there. You can't escape the issue that CO2 is the most important and practical control, nobody credible will ever tell you anything different. Making industries switch to a power source with a competive cost is hardly "force-fucking," but wait until you see what global warming does to them...
You clearly have no idea what you're talking about. It's not too slow if we act soon, and yes global buy-in is needed, and if Steve Bannon doesn't get too many more denialist centipedes elected that can be had (usually the number of denialist governments is 0 or 1, but now with Brazil there are 2). If we need to heat things up in the future we may indeed have to bring fossil fuels back into grid power, although we'll more likely rely on intentionally releasing other greenhouse gases like methane and nitrogen triflouride.
Regulating CO2 levels is the best and by far the most important control on the climate we have in this situation, not some crappy fallback option, that's what the others are. If we try to work around regulating CO2 levels and let them increase while we compensate with other mechanisms, we'll walk right into an oceanic mass extinction through ocean acidification, and eventually into a global decrease of human cognitive power.
Trying to solve global warming by fiddling with anything but CO2 levels is just treating a few of the symptoms while the disease slowly but surely eats the planet alive.
Reducing and eventually reversing fossil carbon emission IS THE MOST IMPORTANT geoengineering effort, and carbon taxes are how it will be paid for! *epic facepalm*
Wow, you're actually quite fargone to take that howling nonsense from Jordan Peterson seriously. "Cultural Marxism" is just a meaningless angry right-wing barking noise directed somewhat at the left and descended directly from Nazi propaganda, and Peterson's attempts to explain it as anything more than that are an insane mashup of angry right-wing concepts that's just as nonsensical. Explains why you think the mere touch of an antisemite can taint an entire leftist movement on contact, while you see nothing racist about defending the "Christian bedrock of Western European cultures" - based on ahistorical nonsense and a ridiculously warped view of Gramsci's ideas, amounting to more of a bullhorn than a dogwhistle, which you'll no doubt claim not to hear.
I also think you know the difference between jokes about nazis and joking endorsements or support of nazi ideology, but choose not to. I think you have good personal reasons to dislike Antifa. Have fun.
The trouble is that trying to adapt civilization to the climate causes those wars and refugee crises and famines we're talking about. It will be very bad for non-human life too, ocean acidification could lead to an oceanic mass extinction if unchecked, just for starters. It's easier to fix the climate than to fix the civilization and non-human life, smarter people than us have considered this and come to that conclusion, but I encourage you to consider it for yourself too.
Yes there will likely always be wars, famines, and refugee crises, but the number and scale can be affected. The presence of one small example of each is not as bad as a thousand large examples of each, for example.
What a hilarious double-standard you display. You think the Women's March was hateful because there were a tiny handful of racists almost-involved at some point who weren't publicly outed, even though there was no hateful messaging or action associated with the march itself, and you would do the same for Antifa, but when Pewdiepie gleefully dances with racism for years, literally spewing racial slurs and linking to sources of racist propaganda against repeated requests to stop, you cut him every break and mulligan in the book. When Jordan Peterson basically restates every alt-right position sugar-coated with a dash of pseudo-intellectualism and euphemism, again you don't see a problem. You are the embodiment of disingenuity.
Racist jokes actually ARE a secret nazi recruitment method, accept it, it's a tried and tested method they've used successfully. This can be mistaken as "being edgy" if you ignore the pattern to the "edginess."
And again, if a person is completely indistinguishable from a subtle and clever alt-right propagandist to an outside observer, we can treat them as one, no need to read minds for confirmation.
A few individuals don't and can't define a movement's goals, is a pair of anti-semites meeting with Women's March organizers all you've got? And you think this defines the movement while Pewdiepie's long-running history of maybe-I'm-kidding racism shouldn't?
You're giving Pewdiepie a lot of benefit of the doubt, exactly as he wants, even though he's done the same thing many times despite being asked to stop by Youtube and most everyone else. At some point repeated behavior following warnings and arguments to stop has to be seen as intentional. At some point you have to consider that the blonde-haired blue-eyed guy who keeps using the N-word, making extremely racist jokes, and "accidentally" sending Youtube's largest audience (largely of children) to channels full of nazi propaganda may actually be a nazi. How many unfortunate accidents and off-color jokes should we assume were not intentional from this millionaire professional media personality after he makes the occasional half-assed not-apology about it?
And if Jordan Peterson isn't a right-wing personality and alt-right hero (who associates with the right wing and is heavily promoted by the alt-right) then what is he? Recently I've come up with the job description of "professional intolerant jackass" for people in his line of work, is that a suitable substitute?
It's not being chosen based on any individual's comfort level, it's being chosen based on the last couple centuries of explosive construction and population growth around the world. We have cities and farms in certain regions and we don't want them to be turned into salt marshes or deserts.
The climate doesn't have to be static but we do have to keep it in a range that works well with our established civilization, so in the far future it may indeed be necessary to geoengineer our way out of natural climate change. There's nothing wrong with that and it's not counterproductive to solve our current problems because of it.
It's news for nerds. Science has revealed that we have a planetary-scale crisis on our hands, and the only way to save Earth is to make scientific and technological breakthroughs while evading the dumb bullies trying to stop us, it doesn't get a whole lot nerdier than that!
Did the events described in the opinion piece not happen?
But calling the Women's March bigoted and hateful suggests that you're some kind of Social Injustice Enthusiast who isn't exactly making a factual judgement.
Judging by his actions, PewDiePie really is one of the alt-right's most valuable assets - even if, for the sake of argument, he doesn't realize it himself.
Pewdiepie really is a centipede working carefully and methodically year after year to introduce his audience to alt-right ideology without getting banned from YouTube. Or at least he's indistinguishable from one to an outside observer:

Well nobody can stop celebrities from babbling, but I place blame on people who take celebrity babble more seriously than science.
Perhaps I should've said "small and simple projects." If you're doing transactions or anything remotely fancy, by all means move up to PostgreSQL.
MySQL/MariaDB is fine for small projects. Helluva lot faster and than MSSQL and doesn't have MSSQL's syntactic quirks *cough*lock-in mechanism*cough*
That's what all the normies are doing these days.
That's an expected part of a natural cycle you asshat, even WaPo could tell you that:

The dire global warnings cause most people with a memory to roll their eyes now.
Only if those people's memories are composed entirely of cherry-picked bias confirmation material from conspiracy websites. See this post:

There's nothing wrong with that and it's not counterproductive to solve our current problems because of it.
Also constant wars, famines, refugee crises, and more powerful and frequent natural disasters (contributing to the prior 3).
Elevate yourself 5 inches above that shit, smart guy.

Spotted the American steel exec!
In France, right now, well... France has a habit of taking things too far.
Too far? I'd say just far enough!
