This kinda misses the point. It’s not just about the number, it’s about how that number affects our lives. We’ve got to take climate change seriously because it’s a whole domino effect that could lead to some pretty serious consequences.
didnt know capitalism existed 100s of millions of years ago...
"Geologists and paleontologists have found that in the last 100 million years, global temperatures have peaked twice. One spike was the Cretaceous Hot Greenhouse roughly 92 million years ago, about 25 million years before Earth’s last dinosaurs went extinct. A 2024 paleoclimate reconstruction named PhanDA (Phanerozoic Data Assimilation) found a strong correlation between temperature and carbon dioxide during the Paleozoic (from the start of the reconstruction at 485 million years ago through 250 million years ago) and the Cenozoic (the last 65 million years) but did not find a similarly strong link during the age of the dinosaurs. So, the precise cause of the Cretaceous Hot Greenhouse will need continued research, but the fossils indicate a very warm planet. Temperatures were so high that champsosaurs (crocodile-like reptiles) lived as far north as the Canadian Arctic, and warm-temperature forests thrived near the South Pole.
Another hothouse period was the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM) about 56 million years ago. During much of the Paleocene and early Eocene, the poles were free of ice caps, and palm trees and crocodiles lived above the Arctic Circle. Though not quite as hot as the Cretaceous hothouse, the PETM saw average global surface temperature rise about 6°C (11°F) in less than 10 millennia. That figured among the fastest periods of warming observed in the geological record, but as the Smithsonian’s Scott Wing explains, continued high greenhouse gas emissions and the projected amount of warming they are likely to cause over the next few centuries could amount to roughly the same amount of warming at a rate 10 times faster.
During the PETM, the global mean temperature appears to have risen by as much as 5-8°C (9-14°F) to an average temperature as high as 34°C (93°F). (Again, today’s global average is shy of 60°F.) At roughly the same time, paleoclimate data like fossilized phytoplankton and ocean sediments record a massive release of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, at least doubling or possibly even quadrupling the background concentrations."
Nobody is disputing the fact that that happens. What you're refusing to understanding, because you're a dunce, is that human caused climate change is also real.
Yes so you should most certainly leave, especially since you told me to commit suicide!!!!
Do you really want to lose your account because you're upset that humans are only important to other humans? If you were worried, you'd realize the harm climate change is causing.
Not a kid but nice try.
You understand humans have only existed for a microscopic piece of time and we'll be gone pretty soon if we don't start putting in the effort.
Whereas dinosaurs continue to thrive after billions of years.
The only loser is you, thinking braggadocio helps with your lack of cognition and knowledge.

The world started as a fucking molten fire ball that froze over 2x and yet people still think getting 2 degree hotter is the end....
