Has anyone heard of "The Great Dying"? Science has finally figured out what caused it.
Rapid global warming caused the largest extinction event in the Earth’s history. Up to 96% of all marine species perished while more than two-thirds of terrestrial species disappeared. The cataclysm was so severe it wiped out most of the planet’s trees, insects, plants, lizards and even microbes.
Do you take your private jet for excursions to periodically look at the ice of the Arctic and then fly about the planet giving lectures on the dangers of Greenhouse gasses?
Yawn. The same thing happened during the last Inter-Glacial Period, when the Greenland Ice-sheet nearly melted in its entirety. And it melted during the Inter-Glacial Period before that, and the one before that, and the one before that....
You act like this is the first time in history it ever happened, when in fact it's happened many, many times.

True but my point was aimed at the many climate change deniers that use examples of the distant past to say that warming will do no harm...Today's climate is warming rapidly as I type.
It's actually the rate that is the alarming part of this all. People like to point out that "the Earth has had natural climate changed before"...No scientist actually saying it hasn't. What IS alarming is the rate of change. That is unprecedented and very much has the signature and fingerprint of man.
I would bet that most people on this forum could care less and it won’t be until it’s too late to do something about it. No, this fear mongering as it is being realistic about it. Humans tend to wait until it’s too late and complain that we wasn’t warned.
