Quote:There's a debate among scientists about the last time CO2 levels were this high. It might have been during the Pliocene era, 2 million to 4.6 million years ago, when sea levels were 60 to 80 feet higher than today. Or it may have been in the Miocene, 10 million to 14 million years ago, when seas were more than 100 feet higher than now.

this alone identifies CO2 levels are not the only factor how our planet continually reshapes itself...

see, I can cherry pick data too.....

what I do believe is humanity will continue to develop/improve cleaner energy sources and adapt to changes over time....

what people like Pelosi and other alarmists want is flipping the 'now' switch to economic suicide.....

I agree with the bold text. We are an adaptable species and I don't think climate change is an existential threat.

It's my opinion that curbing our greenhouse gas emissions now as opposed to down the road would help stave off some of the more devastating effects of climate change. For every dollar we spend now in mitigation, we'll save six-fold on money we have to spend in the future.
