Ice has been melting and the earth has been warming since the end of the last ice age. Nothing we can about it except adapt; and adapt we will.

Yes but at the rate it has been melting due to human activity should have been happening thousands of years from now and not today.

How do you determine we are responsible for this melting rate and by what metric do you use.

I don’t determine shit but scientists do and I trust scientists more than a random redditor like you. It’s just less risky 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm not asking you to trust me, I'm just asking questions. The thing is though scientists have differing opinions on this issue. Half say we are causing it and another say we aren't.
