Exaggerate global warming much?

The episode assumes it doesnt need to show its audience that climate change is a genuine concern. This is just like the time it showed us a woman President who appeared to be a shady alien in disguise. We all saw how that influenced recent events on our Earth.

The sun is older now and it will be much older then
Not
that
much older. It's 4.5 billion years old now, and the known 5 mass extinction events have only taken place in roughly the last 450 million year, one tenth the sun's age. And the sun isn't even at it's midpoint in life yet.
After a mass extinction event, the world seems to take about 10-30 million years to recover, depending on the severity of the event. That's barely more than time to blink, as far as the sun's age is concerned.
And note I'm not talking about a TOTAL extinction event like you mentioned. I don't even think that's possible for humans to do, unless we literally destroy our planet Krypton style. As long as our planet is in the orbital habitable zone, I'm pretty sure it can recover from the depredations of any dominant life in any epoch.
It will take a few more billion years before total extinction can occur on our planet. Our sun is steadily getting bigger and hotter, and one day Earth will no longer be in the habitable zone, although Mars might be by that point. Perhaps the water and microbes found aren't signs of the end of life on Mars, perhaps they're signs of the
beginning
of life.

There are at least five known mass extinction level events in the history of this planet, and the world is still here, spinning away the aeons.
You seemed to entirely miss my point that destruction of the environment does not equal destruction of the world,
only of life on the face of the planet.
We don't even possess anywhere near the level of tech yet for the Krypton-style explosion of our world to be a possibility.
Then that's perfectly OK then lol! I hate climate doom-sayers as much as the next guy but come on. you couldn't have at least thought that through before typing that out -

The funny thing about it is while they were trying to preach to the audience about the dangers of global warming and how heroic it is to fight against it, they made the doctor that was doing so, the freak of the week monster to beat, and showed him as an arrogant rude and obsessive individual that eventually got infected with the parasite, and became evil and had to be killed by Kara who used a radioactive isotope from a nuclear power plant that probably could of harmed everyone else (nevermind his infected alien bits being splattered everywhere total contamination zone lol)
Just like how they were trying to preach the idea of a female president (Hillary nod) and tolerance to aliens (refugees), meanwhile said President ended up being a shape shifting alien (which just makes her come off as a shady liar lol)

You're one of those, huh?
Whether you believe it is man-made or a natural occurrence, climate change is an observable fact.
You're suffering from delusions of adequacy.

It really isn't. Many scientists around the world have stated that it isn't. The global temperature has actually dropped in the last 25 years. Sorry but it's true. It's all BS that simpleminded fools eat up.

I get what you're saying, but the difference is really semantic.
Not arguing that, but in the show last year they had the Kryptonians equating it to what happened to Krypton. I'm using semantics, they're using hyperbole.
At least you understood that part of my post, it seems like so few did.

Um, I think it's you that's downgrading the "destroying of the environment that sustains life as we know it".
That's a pretty big deal. We won't be alive. I don't see us having the resources to ship everyone on this planet to a new one.
My "world" isn't my planet. It's my family, my friends, my self and if all off that is lost, who the **** cares if the planet is still there. So yeah, it's destroying "the world". -

For the most part the show does not appear to be taking sides on any issues.They do however highlightit all trying to show varying points of view and our perceptions of it all I am ok with that..
As to global warming, am I worried? NopeI stopped worrying when a bunch of clowns (politicians) got on television and "promised" to hold temperature rises to 2 degreesnodding, clapping each other on the back and looking like the slick used cars sales men they can sometimes be. The topic is heavily politicized and politicians are in the drivers seat.. not Scientists and certainly notactivists flogging themselves into a frenzy.
Whoever it was that thought up the idea of a carbon tax (andscare..) on carbon based lifeforms well give thatperson a medal or shoot them. Brilliant idea and nasty as (censored)
Mankind lessening it's impact on it's surroundings should always be part of the equation. I'm on board with that much anyway.. but not all the fear mongering BS that goes with it. The science isn't settled and climate science is still in its infancy.
