What do you mean exactly?

Let's not beat around the bush. This is standard climate change denialism. It's the trope that there is nothing here to worry about because, who knows, the earth COULD have been warmer in the past and it still exists now. It's the same logic that would say that you've decelerated from 60 mph to 0 before without an issue, so you should be just fine after slamming your car into a brick wall.

    About 0%. Looking at historical timelines, the rapid change we are seeing now is unprecedented. The forced heating lines up exactly with the additional C02 and methane we have pumped into the atmosphere. We are causing this, full stop. (No need to reply; you've already shown yourself to be a sarcastic asshole who sucks down a big glass oil company propaganda for breakfast. [Insert sarcastic winking emoji here])

  Let's turn this into a simple debate. How many people will die per 100K per year per degree above per-industrial levels in your estimation? By what percentage will GDP per capita be impacted by the same metric? Instead of entrenching climate change denier / alarmist tribes, let's just discuss models.

https://climate.nasa.gov/explore/ask-nasa-climate/3071/the-raw-truth-on-global-temperature-records/ https://climate.nasa.gov/explore/ask-nasa-climate/3071/the-r... > Scientists have been building estimates of Earth’s average global temperature for more than a century, using temperature records from weather stations. But before 1880, there just wasn’t enough data They always says "on record" or "ever measured" in these headlines. Which means it's since ~140 years, and we know that is very very likely that past temperature have been higher not long ago...

  Does it even matter if it was warmer in the past? Right here, right now, we can prove that human efforts have changed the temperature of the planet. Right here, right now, we can see the effects of that change. Increased frequency of storms, increased intensity of storms, shifting of seasons, decline in animal populations, etc. Being a "skeptic" just because you can't prove that it's currently warmer than it was 200 years ago is pointless

    You'll see, everything will be fine, even better than fine. Maybe you'll even live long enough to finally understand what this is all about, maybe not, that's not important. We'll be fine.
