Yes, the climate has always changed.

But, the speed of recent change is unprecedented.

More importantly, we understand why.

Burning fossil fuels & deforestation adds carbon dioxide to the atmosphere which warms the planet.

Simple physics. Understood for more than a century.

And everyone who offers the argument that it is the natural course of things is a liar or incredibly stupid. Most of the latter are delusional, thinking some guy in the sky created this and knows what "he" is doing and we should keep on f-ing it up because that is "his" plan. They should have NO place in policymaking. They should be institutionalized. Maybe deep sea vent creatures will survive, unless Earth becomes Venus. Might take 1000 years, but once past the ponr, it's over.

@dbc3 @ed_hawkins I like the anger. It's appropriate. Interesting, you mention Venus. I used it as a comparison in this article, raging against the fools. https://geoffreydeihl.substack.com/p/circumstantial-evidence
