It is not generally considered good science to hand wave away obvious correlations simply because the implications are inconvenient to your life style. See Sagan's Baloney Detection Kit and How to draw boundaries between science and pseudoscience
Only nutcases claim we will all be dead from global warming. Global warming is not as serious as the ozone hole or chemical pollution we faced earlier. It does not even match the calamity of a 1km asteroid. It simply will cost a lot of money and some lives to deal with if left unchecked. Billions of dollars in beach front property will be ruined and water supplies contaminated due to rising sea levels. Droughts will increase in frequency and severity. Floods will be more frequent in many areas. Hurricanes will increase in frequency and strength.
Try reading what the National Research Council sponsored by both the National Academy of Sciences and National Academy of Engineers has to say on the issue rather than talk show hosts and BBS smartasses.
