Oh yeah, because the earth is only 140 years old.

Yes, you're a very clever man, you are absolutely correct that in a few tens or hundreds of thousands of years the earth's climate will change naturally. And that's why we have nothing to fear with wiping out farmlands and drowning cities within the lifespan of our children, right? Fuck the little brats.

  • 4.5 billion years ago, the surface of the earth was molten lava and there were no land masses.
  • 650 million years ago, the earth was a giant frozen snowball and nearly every living thing on the planet was dead.
  • 300 million years ago, the sun was 30% cooler and the atmosphere was so thick with oxygen that insects grew to giant size.
  • 10 million years ago, the planet was about 3℃ warmer than now, and the planet was almost entirely a desert wasteland.
  • 20,000 years ago, the planet was 5-6 degrees colder than today, and where New York is today was buried under a mile of ice.

Good thing we have nothing to fear from accelerating such natural changes by a factor of a thousand times faster, right? What could possibly go wrong? Its not like we rely on predictable, steady climate to grow food. Right?

If the world is destined to end, I will not stand in destiny's way. More than 99% of all life that has existed on earth has gone extinct. Life on the planet may have began as far back as 3.7billions years ago (take that creationists), so I don't give a fuck about what's going to happen in the next 50. We are resilient creatures and adapt to our environment, we do not adapt the planet to us on the scale climate change freaks would like. Only the insane would change the earth to fit your needs. Plants will grow, humans will survive. I don't give a shit if a city gets lost under a tidal wave or covers in ice, this is life, it's not always predictable and you should get used to it. Get on with living your life instead of telling people not to live theirs.

Go and make an average temperature chart with a line average starting from 4.5 billion years ago please.

What do you think that's going to prove?

Over time spans of billions of years, the output of the sun and the earth's climate has changed a lot. Yes we know that. Why do you think it is even a tiny bit relevant?

  • Billions of years ago, the earth was a lifeless ball of molten rock, and there was no life on the planet, let alone human civilization.
  • Hundreds of millions of years ago, the earth was a frozen wasteland where nothing more complicated than bacteria and undersea worms could survive.
  • The last time the earth was four degrees hotter than it is now, 90% of the land area on earth was a baking hot desert where only lizards could survive.
  • Even when the climate changes slowly, over tens of thousands of years, it still causes major disruption to natural systems.
  • Short term climate change, even if it lasts only a few decades, causes massive disruption to human populations and nations. Empires and nations fall.
  • Rapid climate change in a time frame of a century or less is absolutely unprecedented in all of human history.

Now do one for the last 6 months. Watch that average line fly.

Ya, but no. Pangaea.

Good catch. Typo fixed.

Do you treat it like a first born or afterbirth?

Oh, you treat it as an abortion.

The planet gave birth to a continent. Did it? Where did it go? Was it the first? Who knows.
