Really now? All this polar ice melting before our eyes is just a coincidental year-to-year fluctuation? You'd have expected this 200 years ago?
- nnfy 9y agoThe phenomenon of climate evolves on a scale of millions of years. We simply do not have historic data with high enough frequency and accuracy to truely conclude that this is an unprecedented rise rate. Nor do we actually know if it is catastrophic. Some of the most bioproductive eras in the history of the earth had higher carbon concentrations and temperatures than we do now. But any time you bring something like this up, you're slandered as a denier because of the taboo. Edit: predictable down votes, illustrating my point. How do you expect to solve problems if you deliberately avoid certain questions?
