FYI, they keep "adjusting" the past numbers.

Ice has been melting since the last ice age - that's why we're not under 2km of ice.

Change is the only constant.

There are only problems with overpopulation in centralized cities and with land exploited by centralized industries determined to exploit as much as possible for profit regardless of the impacts.

Decentralize humanity and you'll solve most problems.

Yeah, they keep making improvements as the knowledge gets deeper.

"Ice Age" is an awkward term. Sometimes it's used to mean "glaciation", as in the movie "Ice Age". Sometimes it means a period of time at which the earth has significant ice sheets in both poles.

The warmest part of the current interglacial (not counting the warming of the past 100 years), was about 8000 years ago. So the ice had been growing since then, overall.

Deep. But that doesn't refute that if you stick a whole lot of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere you get more greenhouse effect.

There are only problems with overpopulation in centralized cities and with land exploited by centralized industries determined to exploit as much as possible for profit regardless of the impacts.

There are ecological problems too.

Not climate change. You have to use an energy source that doesn't involve releasing carbon from an ancient era into the atmosphere.

Anthropocentric climate change is questionable. There's MUCH more coming from natural sources like volcanoes. Nature is resilient.

I've got bigger issues with factory farming, resource extraction, pollution, chemical toxicity, etc. Climate change is a distraction from those.

Importantly you must look at who is telling you to be afraid. Same liar folks as behind the scamdemic and to believe in their science, which is never settled.

It's really not. Increasing greenhouse gasses increases the greenhouse effect. It's not really rocket science.

Not even close. Human activities emit 60 or more times the amount of carbon dioxide released by volcanoes each year..

Volcanic forcing is negative, because it is primarily the shading effect of volcanic aerosols that can be ejected into the upper atmosphere during very large eruptions.

Nature is resilient.

And yet the population sizes of mammals, birds, fish, amphibians and reptiles have seen an alarming average drop of 68% since 1970..

Academics from a wide range of organisations across a wide range of fields in a wide range of countries. It's not plausible that they're lying. And I can understand the physics, and can tell you that they're not with respect to the current global warming being anthropogenic.

Who is encouraging you to destroy the ecosystems of the planet? The same liar folks behind the fossil fuel industry campaigns.

Actually the climate is faaaaaar more complex that rocket science. I designed and built rockets as a child. My teacher thought I was odd because rather than go play at recess I would draw rockets with internal schematics.

Not even close.

You and whatever selective sources you may have are full of shit.

Back to your greenhouse gasses, besides the methane that humanity is releasing there's an abundance of it naturally and methane among other gasses are FAR more problematic than the natural carbon dioxide (((they))) want us all to fear.

I didn't say wildlife was man-proof.

Yes, among many other things, dead oceans by 2050 is a serious fucking problem that climate change is distracting us from.

It's not plausible that they're lying.

LOL

Their grants and paychecks depend upon them not choosing to be skeptical and to not stand up to authority.

And I can understand the physics

I understand shills too.

Those are the same liar folks who have FULL SPECTRUM DOMINANCE over ever aspect of our lives, industry, supply, security, media, government, banking, etc, etc, etc.

They are the ones who tell you that we need to change a lightbulb to save the world. They blame the individual instead of the entire rigged system that externalize for profits, pollute, and drive our consumerist culture.

We must change the culture and change the systems. Start by rejecting their bullshit first.
