What's your point?

  “Point” seems generous. Looking at their post history their either a shill or a troll. That said I’ve heard real people in real life with alleged “real ideas” that say that because system warming has happened in the planet’s distant past we should just accept it as Gosh’s Will or whatever and accept whatever divine punishment we deserve or something. It always gets very fuzzy on how we actually continue to have a world with these problems but with religious fanatics I expect that Sky Daddy will come save them personally so they are unconcerned

    The crazy people are the ones that think they can keep the planet's climate constant forever. Never happened, never will

      That’s quite a jump even for goal posts

I would appreciate if humans continued existing, so I am interested in not returning to that point in prehistory.

Go back to the Hadean era, bro.

And it took way longer than a few decades to get there hmm...? Systems had time to adapt, including new animals evolving. For example trees species habitable zones migrate north or south in response to a changing climate, but to do that the northern most edge of the habitable zone for that species at the time a tree starts is life needs to stay within the southernmost edge until that trees dies, otherwise they can't move fast enough. So the whole zone can't move further than the width of it within, what 500 years? At a wild guess. Depending in the average lifetime of the tree species. Other systems involve evolution to adapt which takes a lot longer. That's an over simplification of course, and I'm not a scientist, but those are not timescales we've got.

Could there be a connection?
