Because we've moved the climate in one direction or another by 10% already, and we've never polluted so heavily before. That's pretty significant.
That stat is also normalized over the past 30 years. Change is accelerating, so it would be more than 10% over the past 10 years.
- jcoffland 10y agoThis does not equate to a 10% change in climate, whatever that even means. > Change is accelerating... What change specifically is accelerating? Your base assumption that things are unquestionably getting worse is unscientific.
- themartorana 10y agoI don't... what? Anyway... Since the new thing is to yell at any post that doesn't provide a link, here - change is accelerating: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/21/global-warming-taking-place-at-an-alarming-rate-un-climate-body-warns https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/mar/21/global-w... But this isn't news. And it's all scientific.

- themartorana 10y agoSays the same thing as the article I linked. "Global surface temperatures in 2015 shattered all previous records by a wide margin, the report shows, sitting 0.76C above the 1961-90 average. Temperatures over land, over the ocean and in the top 700 and 2,000 metres of the ocean all set new records."
