We are seeing worsening weather around the world, true. Sea levels are rising, also true. However, we don't have enough data to say what is causing those things to happen. It could merely be a function of nature.
Not really, as without knowning someone for a lot longer than two minutes, you have no way of knowing if they are acting within character or not. You could meet me for two minutes, and I may be in a bad mood. You may then assume I am permanently in a bad mood, which may or may not be the case.

TBH, I am not saying the world isn't ending. Put simply, I don't know. However, AFAIK, neither does the scientific community. Hence, all we have heard MAY just be scare stories based on an inadequate knowledge of the planet's weather systems.

I'm not saying the world is ending either. I'm reporting that there have been major changes which could impact negatively on our lives.
Ice ages are a part of the Earth's natural history. It's perfectly normal for the Earth to have Ice ages. However, if one did come it would have a massive impact on our lives and we are not even preparing for the possibility.
Similarly, sea levels are rising. Holland has made preparations. New Orleans didn't. The world did end for some people..they drowned. Many others no longer live in New Orleans as their homes were destroyed.
As for meeting you in a bad mood that's OK. It shows me what you can be like when you are in a bad mood and I can prepare for that possibility. So if you are abusive, I can follow one line of action; if you are violent, I can follow another.
