It's called Paleocene–Eocene Thermal Maximum YouTube the earth went throught this before.

Yes, and last time:

  • It took at least twenty thousand years for the CO2 levels and temperatures to rise four degrees, not a century.
  • And it still massively changed the face of the planet' ecosystems, with mass extinctions, reversal of ocean currents, and massive levels of ecological disruption.

Nobody is worried about the planet itself. The planet doesn't give a shit whether it is a ball of molten rock, a frozen snowball, or a global desert. It has been all those things in the past, and it will, I am sure, go through just as big changes over the next couple of billion years until the sun expands and swallows it.

It's human civilization we should be worried about, and not just any human civilization, but western civilization. We are reliant on the climate being what it is now, not a hundred thousand years ago when New York was covered by a mile of ice and Europe was a frozen wilderness, or 55 million years ago when they were desert. It is our civilization, that our kids have to live in, that is threatened. Not the third rock from the sun.

If you think halting climate change is costly, you should try not halting climate change.
