Do they though? Or are large variations in weather over the course of a century actually really normal, and mother nature is just a cruel mistress that is constantly decimating populations and then giving them just enough reprieve to recover before doing it again? It's really hard for me to have any confidence in "climate science" because I see how horribly wrong other areas of science are _all the time_ and the only way to be proven wrong in climate science is to wait for decades or centuries to see what happens.

Ofcourse we can always be proven otherwise.. This is also backed by mass extinction events being relatively rare.
