While I agree that that is true for a sufficiently long timescale, the rate of change that we force on the world right now does make it look like we're changing the normal.
- piva00 7y agoI believe if we refrain to refer to it as "normal" and use "the current balance" it would be more precise. And yup, we are changing that fast, not as fast as a supervolcano of the past or an asteroid impact but not so many orders of magnitude away from it, even more considering geological scales.
