He was right that one action will have minimal effect on reducing temperatures. Which is the same for every single action. combine them and it will make a difference.

Not enough to stop Climate Change. The Earth does that regardless of what we do. We can speed it up or slow it dowmn. We can reduce populations who rely on Natural Resources or increase them so more die.

The Earth goes through periods of Climate Change on a regular basis. sometimes drops enough to freeze rivers that would not normally freeze, or high enough so it doesn't rain and cause awful droughts.

Or changes so dramatically entire species get wiped out or evolve. Which is what it's doing now. Can 7 Billion adapt or cope with this? No, and it will be the poor people who die first.
