Quote from Random.Capital:
It has been a warming planet for 10,000+ years. During that stretch, humanity has benefitted as in no other era.
There will be storms and floods as long as there is water and wind, nothing ever changes, other than storms "then" were more cataclysmic than today because the sea level was rising far far faster than it is today.
If anything, by historical standards, the planet is not warming enough.
In my view, we are already at the start of another ice age. We simply heat the atmosphere so much that it offsets any cooling that should naturally occur.
We're seeing record breaking droughts and floods everywhere, not enough evidence to prove cause and effect but if this trend continues, we'll have it.
