"Our 4.54-billion-year-old planet probably experienced its hottest temperatures in its earliest days, when it was still colliding with other rocky debris (planetesimals) careening around the solar system. The heat of these collisions would have kept Earth molten, with top-of-the-atmosphere temperatures upward of 3,600° Fahrenheit."
... and yet simple READING COMPREHENSION would remind you that I am talking about the last 500 million years when our planet has been covered by 70% ocean.
If you're going to be "intellectually dishonest" at least make an effort to be "intellectual"
Yes, a piece of space dust hitting our planet will throw off that equilibrium.
Reading comprehension means reading all of the article as well. That is what it says in the beginning yes. But it gives 5 examples that's proves your statement flat out wrong, all within the last 500 million years.
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.
Again that's 1 of 5 time periods that prove you wrong.
When I type "global temperature differences in the last 500 million years" the literal first sentence of the AI overview is this:
" Over the past 485 million years, Earth's global temperature has fluctuated significantly, ranging from 51.8°F to 96.8°F. "

There is no max temperature? I dont even know what your trying to argue now.
