The threat to us as a species isn't too bad provided you don't live in the areas which will be worst affected - namely Africa and Asia. Here the people have little choice but to contend with the effects of climate change as they lack the finances and resources to deal with the problems. If for example their crop fails then they starve whereas if our crop fails we import grain from another country, prices may go up a bit and there may be shortgaes of some foods but that's about it.
In the developed world we've made ourselves pretty much immune from 'thinning out' by mother nature through advances in healthcare, hygeine, medicine, food production, sanitation, diet etc. The result is that we're living longer than ever and can mitigate against famine, diseases and the like.
If there is to be a 'thinning out' it would have to come from something over which we have little or no control or be on an unprecedented scale - global warming, biological agents or a flood of Biblical proportions for example.

Global warming is not a threat to Mankind at all. It is only a threat to the economy. Changing weather patterns and especially higher sea levels could cause massive dislocation of populations, but it won't kill people. It will just cost a lot of money, if the worst case predictions come true. Now, are the worst case predictions more likely that the best case ones? Probably not, but only time will tell.

something is achieveable in immediately's activities international. by way of fact the Cubbies have not completed loads of something in over a century and the incontrovertible fact that the White Sox look the aggressive franchise, it ought to happen. The down area for historic motives could be the shortcoming of Wrigley container. of direction no person believed that the previous Yankee Stadium would sometime be merely a reminiscence. Such is the international of activities corporation. it would be complicated to think of no Wrigley container or for that remember not extra Fenway Park. i think of it would be a diverse tale or no tale in any respect if the Cubs have been triumphing pennants and a international sequence now and then. of direction that hasn't passed off.

Natural selection isn't foolproof. Take Yahoo! for example.

It dosen't matter to us if we die because we won't know anything about it once we are dead. It would just be bad if some of our population die because then all of their families and friends will be miserable and depressed

Well bearing in mind my home town is flooded and we have no running water or electricity, and 3 people have died, all caused by the flooding caused by global warming ... I would say yes.

I am all for thinning out; provided that it is not my lot that gets culled.
