text: No, man made global climate change.  If big cities like LA are in the middle of a heat wave and power goes out city wide, people are going to die.  There is nothing that can be done for this generation as it takes decades after any reduction in man made fossil burning releasing greenhouse gases in the atmosphere for improvement. However, if nothing is done long term, there is going to see a large die off of not just animals but humans.  Hawaii is not immune as well,  Waikiki beach will be under water.   Andwhat about having to build an entirely new fossil fuel burning electric generator to power the energy intensive Oahu train to nowhere.  Unless Hawaii is going to use nuclear power for electricity, the Oahu train will insure Oahumis a slave to fossil fuels & be forever contributor to man made global climate change.  Of course this is NOT an extinction level event but billions of humans will be winnowed out & would think Hawaii does not to be those winnowed out of existence.
