Everyone is so sensational about climate change but never looks at Earth's history.
Were at the tail end of an ice age.
For most of Earth's history, there were no polar ice caps.
For 400 out of 500 million years the earth was warmer than it is now.

- ShellfishMeme 3y agoThe earth is 4.5 billion years old so I don't understand what you mean with "400 out of 500 million years". Also for a lot of that time earth was a hellishly hot place with little life.
- nerdchum 3y agoThe past 500 million years have been rich with life.
- austinjp 3y agoThat's disingenuous misdirection. The current change is a threat to humanity of our own making.
- nerdchum 3y ago> threat to humanity of our own making. How? Do you have concrete examples or just fear based conjecture?
