Carbon sequestration and re-harvesting cures the ills of all.

So, something we are technically incapable of?

The Pleistocene extinction involved a mass death including of humans and it involved climate change much less rapid than the current climate change.

I so get why you're a communist. :0)

Because my views are based on facts and not feelings?

Dyslexic much? But, yes, corrected you're 100% right. errrr.... left. ha ha

Do you feel lucky, Punk
Make sense retard if the pleistocine extinction was so rapid that humans died, and no humans are dying now as the world population is increasing, then the change now is much less
You may resume wanking off

It’s well known that temperature rise causes more CO2 and more CO2 causes temperature rise. If the sun were the only variable the Earth would presently be getting colder, not warming rapidly.

The more co2 the better

Humans are dying now (despite the cushion that civilization provides). Excess deaths due to climate change are currently at 70,000 annually, expected to rise to 250,000 annually by 2030.

Yes, and extreme weather (which is becoming more common) has always killed more people.

Extreme weather is not more common, our ability to see the weather is more accurate

Areas that have consistently and reliably recording temperatures for decades set more records last month than ever before. It was the first month ever that no low records were set anywhere in the world. What was considered a 100-year-flood 50 years ago is a 30-year-flood today.
Wait, I thought the worlds was only about 6,000 years old? Christian beliefs - right?

Do you believe that the Earth is 4.5 billion years old according to science, or 6000 years old according to the Bible? originally appeared on Quora: the place to gain and share knowledge, empowering people to learn from others and better understand the world.
Answer by C Stuart Hardwick, Award-Winning Scifi Author, on Quora:
The Earth solidified 4.54 billion years ago, plus or minus 1%. That’s a fact, and if your belief is not aligned to this fact, then you are what we call “wrong.”
This age is arrived at by several cross-checking lines of evidence, but the great antiquity of the Earth has been apparent for much of human history. True, scientific progress repeatedly found our home to be much older than previously suspected, but the widespread view that the planet is only a few thousand years old is relatively new, and has no basis in either fact or scripture.
The 6,000 year age was arrived at by James Ussher, a 17th century Irish Archbishop who counted up estimates of the ages of Abraham’s family listed in the Old Testament and calculated that the creation began (on the Julian calendar) on Saturday, October 22, 4004 BC, at 6 pm. Really.
Usher made a lot of assumptions, chose to ignore inconsistencies within even those scriptural sources known at that time, and was unaware of certain, now obvious translation issues, importantly including the way the Babylonians counted, but that’s beside the point. As William Henry Green wrote, “The Scriptures furnish no data for a chronological computation prior to the life of Abraham; and the Mosaic records do not fix and were not intended to fix the precise date either of the Flood or of the creation of the world.”
In other words, even if Ussher’s calculation were correct (it isn’t) it would only tell us when Abraham lived, not when the world was made.

Quite true and that has been happening for 20000 years or do you think that colder than previous year temps melted continent covering glaciers. F.uck Mann and his 1000 year graph

You think within a few years a change as dramatic as one that took place over thousands of years ... a change that was predicted in detail in advance based on the simple physics involved ... is safe to ignore because if you go back tens of thousands of years you can find comparable instances of extreme weather to what we see routinely now, and wouldn’t have seen at any time in the interim?

There has been no change that is out of the ordinary in the last 100 years.
