The key word there is our - bad news for our planet. anthropogenic climate change is not bad for the planet, but it is potentiality very bad for humans.
- iolaknfd89 11y agoHow come you chose to subset "climate change" into "anthropogenic climate change"? Regardless of the origin, it seems though climate change will be bad news for humans.
- cam_l 11y agoBecause anthropogenic climate change (in particular) is happening quickly and happening now; perhaps more quickly than a lot of us—or at least the things or places we depend on for life—will be able to adapt.
- iolaknfd89 11y agoAh, gotcha. I must have misinterpreted your tone. It seemed to me that you (unnecessarily but intentionally) introduced a politically loaded term to your (quite correct) idea. I've been spending too much time reading about the Earth before humans, when massive changes were commonplace. Only discussing human-triggered change strikes me as massively more limited and less interesting. Apologies if I caused any confusion.
