It's not the sun, and you look like an idiot claiming it's the sun. Normally I dont bother to respond to your comments, because you seem like a religious fanatic in your rhetoric. You have the right to your religion, and I don't particulatly care if you choose to be anti-science.
I'd be happy to explain why it's not the sun - but you wouldn't listen, so there's that.
Let's see if there's a real question in your post - well, I already said nothing can stop it, it's too late.
But, lets assume you mean the question rhetorically. We havn't stopped diseases, but with better medicine, sanitation, and civic engineering we have reduced most oif them, and we enjoy a much better life because we are not constantly afflicted with many diseases.
Your use of the example of crime is a red herring and a straw man - but it's also a good example. But the reverse of what you intend.
We can't stop crime - but crime levels have never been lower in thsi country than they are right now. We can reduce crime.
We can't stop global warming, but we might, just barely, be able to slow it down and reduce it.
And, at the same time, spread out and conserve the worlds remaining fossil carbon - so that our way of life lasts LONGER.
Personally, i don't believe we are going to do anything, because we as a species are not smart enough to understand what is happening, and to think on those time scales.
You are a good example of that.
