EPICA core samples show fluctuations of 16 degrees over 100ky, but there is no evidence of ancient rainforests burning. I'm not denying anthropogenic climate change but it's difficult to take such predictions seriously.
And yes, I use throwaway accounts because the HN hivemind slaughters anyone that goes against the mainstream opinion. If you don't want to respond to me because of this, then don't. If moderators want to remove this comment, then by all means please do. But I don't know who it helps.
- psadri 6y ago16 degrees warmer or cooler?
- hindsightbias 6y agoI believe it's the range from hottest to coolest, over 100KY. Which of course is exactly like a 2-3C change over a couple of hundred years, so no big deal... right? /s

- dang 6y agoCould you please stop creating accounts for every few comments you post? We ban accounts that do that. This is in the site guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. You needn't use your real name of course, but for HN to be a community, users need some identity for others to relate to. Otherwise we may as well have no usernames and no community, and that would be a different kind of forum. https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comment&storyText=false&prefix&page=0&query=by:dang%20community%20identity https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme... I don't think it's true that "the HN hivemind slaughters anyone that goes against the mainstream opinion", and I'm not seeing that in most of the comments you've posted.
