    You also don’t live on the west coast and experienced fire season nor have you lived in an area that has experienced prolonged drought.

    What we know is that weather extremes will become more prevalent and that the global food supply chain is petrol intensive and not very resilient. Temperatures are increasing too fast for plant species to adapt. It’s also causing de-synchronization of collaborating species, crops might not get pollenated, migration disruptions.

    Micro-plastics have been detected in mammalian placentas and “forever chemicals” (PFAS) is detected in rainwater globally. Birth rates are declining across species.

    You can continue your short-sighted strawman argument however it’s being more accepted that the earth has entered the sixth mass extinction event.

    While I agree that on the basis of geologic timescales we are insignificant other than being another layer in the geological record, only a fool would walk off a cliff that could be avoided, simply by becoming aware.

    Our nuclear waste alone has caused a shift in the trajectory of life evolving on this planet. We have impacted all four elements with the sickness of our fifth.

    How do you know that temperatures have increased over the past 30k years? Did your forefathers in caves have thermometers and wrote down their measurements on non existent papers which where in detail copied accurately by their descendents? What you cite and base your crazy theories on is circumstantial evidence at best. We have more accurate science than ever before and that for decades and you play stupid. I don't think there is a cure for ignorance by choice.

    Here is an easy way to conceptualize a billion by virtue of the second.

    It takes
    -12days to experience 1 million seconds
    -32yeqrs to experience 1 billion seconds
    -320centuries to experience 1 trillion seconds

    This theory has been debunked and declared flawed years ago

    https://news.medill.northwestern.edu/chicago/milankovitch-theory-flaw-climate-change-new-study/#:~:text=New research has found a,scientists realize, the researchers said.

    But hey, I don't doubt for a second that nowadays anyone can find "support" for any crazy theory of our choosing. Those cited cycles are the number one argument used by climate change deniers... hey let's settle you believe your shit I believe mine, I am really not in the mood to argue about such fundamental issues.

    I wasn't citing anyone's theory about how ice ages may or may not occur simultaneously on both hemispheres. I was simply showing how the earth has been going through warming and cooling cycles for a very very very long time based on the scientific evidence from ice-cores, sediments samples, etc.

    That does not at all contradict hard core evidence of human caused global warming and the subsequent abnormal climate phenomena we are experiencing. Am out, I am tired to debate hardcore fundamentalist who ignore established science.
