riddle me this
All of your questions are based on past cyclical climate changes without 7 billion people ADDING to the climate change cycle.
You've already said your analysis "is a SWAG based on my overall impression of the situation," or based on nothing. So there is no possible means to substantiate what you're saying. 1/2"? 1"? 2"? Any number you use is made up to fit your belief system.
I understand some climate change is natural.
I understand through scientific measurements some climate change is manmade.
What I don't understand is, why anyone who also accepts that premise would use a made up number to insist we do nothing - - WHEN IF WE REMOVE THE HUMAN PART OF THE CLIMATE CHANGE EQUATION - - less people would die of heat stroke, fewer crops would fail, islands would not disappear under increased sea levels.
But no, I'll just turn up the AC chump, I got mine.
Maybe if we did build another bottling plant here, and you drank Hawaiian water instead of the Kool-Aid, we all would be better off.
