We used to believe that cigarettes weren't harmful to your health, that asbestos was perfectly safe, and that people got sick from "bad energy" in the air.
To all the climate change deniers, why wouldn't climate change be just one more thing you were wrong about?
Corporations and "big business" have all the reason in the world to get people believing that climate change is a hoax. They want to continue with business as usual so they can make $$$$.
Climate has always changed and, in fact, right now, you're in one of the longest warm periods in the history of the planet and it will most likely be extended due to human activity. So, if you have your way, where do you plan on putting your igloo for the brief time you're still alive before the food runs out?
Interglacial. It's not something new but what is new is how long you get to enjoy it.

The isolation of Antarctica is also why despite the planet's high rate of warming, the ice sheets in Antarctica are not losing mass.
You seriously need to do more research....

Satellite and radar data show that two of West Antarctica’s largest glaciers, Pine Island and Thwaites, have seen their grounding line retreat many kilometres since 2000, causing fresh water to pour off the ice and into the ocean. This process is so effective that glaciologists recently declared the total collapse of the Amundsen sea embayment — whose glaciers contain enough water to raise global sea levels by 1.2m — to be “unstoppable.”
No one gives a crap about climate change. They can't predict if it will rain tomorrow but we are supposed to let them wreck the economy based on what might happen in 50 years.

And now you'll receive a scolding from someone on how climate change has nothing to do with forecasting.

Brace yourself!
Which is a crock. They can't accurately model and predict air masses and fluid dynamics with the limited set of variables involved in regional weather patterns. But they claim to be able to model infinitely more complex planetary processes and project them decades and centuries away. Climate scientists are blithering idiots, and that's before you examine their political and economic philosophy, which is completely bankrupt.
Isn't it amazing how nearly every climate scientist is also in lockstep on income equality and socialized medicine? Has anyone ever heard of a pro-Capitalist pro free-market environmental scientist? THEY DON'T EXIST.
