Why? The reason climate change is dangerous is not because it'll get too hot or cold for us, but because the temperature is changing too fast. It's the gradient that's the problem.
- mimixco 7y agoVast swaths of North America have been under water or covered in ice sheets at various points in the Earth's history, including the time when humans lived. I think it's fair to say that we are not well adapted to live under water or ice, yet both of those are definitely coming. Someday.

You've made quite a few comments on this post that don't really contribute to the discussion.
- mimixco 7y agoI'll accept that as your subjective opinion and respectfully disagree. I'm quite well informed on this topic and this thread needed several truths surfaced which were occluded by industry PR claims.
