This feels a lot like someone saying "Volcanoes have periods with high pressure and low pressure. We just happen to live during a high pressure period." in Pompei, as it ignores the problem in-between: the current change in glacial period is unprecedented for natural cycles.

That makes the hysteria over climate change look like freaking out about summer coming around because its been cold for a few months. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_and_icehouse_Earth?...
- Timon3 3y agoThis is a non-sequitur. I explicitly stated that the rate of change is the problem. Why does it matter how often the earth has been ice-free? Do you understand the difference between a value over time, and its derivative?
