Doing nothing is an experiment we don't understand. We know the earth went through hundreds of warm and cold periods in the past, and those are just the ones we're very certain of.
Every action and inaction is a risk. You've got to have some faith that you have enough data and vision to react.
- solumunus 3y agoIt’s getting really tiring responding to these decades old nonsensical arguments. The difference between the Earth going through cooling or warming periods over the course of many millennia compared to us forcing rapid change over the span of a few hundred years is obviously significant.
- dumpsterdiver 3y agoDid the parent poster claim that the hot/cold cycles we've found evidence of are evidence that human induced climate change doesn't exist? If so then I missed it. Granted, their phrasing was a bit cryptic so maybe I misunderstood, but their last sentence led me to believe that you two are actually in agreement.
- polotics 3y agoThere is no trace of any release of CO2 in the atmosphere at the pace we have managed for a century now. None! There are releases over much longer periods, with massive observed impacts. Humanity will scrape by in Groenland, Antarctica... Unless Geo-Engineering saves some and buries others. Maybe read the book "Termination Shock" ?
