Throws stuff out of equilibrium that our fragile human world depends on. Could stack with unleashing the trapped methane gases in Siberia, to form a positive feedback loop.
Your response is so sophomoric, but not funny. You clearly don’t understand the tight relations of human systems to the environmental ecosystems.
- tryonenow 5y agoOn the contrary, as an earth (not climate) scientist, I have an appreciation for the complexity of global climate and I think it's hubris to presume that we can predict with certainty that anthropogenic warming will be exclusively and certainly catastrophic for life on earth. I'm also well aware of the clathrate gun hypothesis, as well as evidence that it is proceeding both subsea and with thawing permafrost. There is no lack of proposed doomsday mechanisms - but there is an ideologically driven dearth of research into positive aspects of climate change. And given the overwhelming complexity of climate and climate change, it's foolish to presume that no benefit could come from a warmer planet.
