There is no _scientific_ debate about global warming other than whether we've already passed the point of no return. In fact, all you have to do is walk outside right now to see the effects of it, or look at all the extreme weather we've been having and notice the increasing frequency of extreme weather.
The only debate about global warming is made up out of whole cloth by corporate interests who don't care if they make the planet uninhabitable by humans within fifty years as long as they can make a big profit today.
The FACT is, we may already be beyond the point of stopping it. But we can't be sure that's true, and we HAVE to TRY to reduce our impact. The survival of humans AS A SPECIES depends on it.
The aging of the Sun is something that's on a scale of billions of years (but certainly advocates for a space program today!). Super volcanoes and meteors are something we cannot control, though we should try to monitor them to get as much warning as possible. Global warming is OUR FAULT and entirely in our control. We may deserve the extinction we're aiming for with our irresponsibility, but the rest of the world doesn't.
