I don't really see what's wrong with the climate changing. It has happened before. People just want to mantain the status quo.

- rcthompson 12y agoFor starters, moving the majority of the world's population uphill to escape the rising oceans is going to be kind of expensive.
- josho 12y agoYes, you are right. There is nothing wrong with climate change, it has happened before, it will happen again. The problem is the timescale of the change. In the past changes occurred over centuries, we are causing the change in decades. That timescale risks catastrophe. If you genuinely want to understand then I recommend reading Storms of My Grandchildren by James Hansen, or at least googling a few book reviews to get a sense.

Those charts show higher levels of several greenhouse gases than has occurred in hundreds of thousands of years, not centuries.
