Humans existed for about 300,000 years as a species. And we weren’t exactly thriving for most of that time. All that we have developed in terms of agriculture, cities, industry, etc. is recent and dependent upon the balance of the current ecosystems in earth. Plus, this is the hottest it has been for about 200,000 years.you understand all of life survived much warmer temperatures, right?
or do you believe humans are 5000 years old as a species and everything in the Bible is truth?
And it isn’t just the change that is the problem. It is the speed with which the change is taking place. It has been hot before and things lived. But also, a lot of things died off. And a lot of things are dying off now. That’s why scientists all pretty much agree we’re in the throes of another mass extinction.
I defer to the consensus of the scientific community. I am under no illusion that I’m somehow smarter than the entire scientific community just because I have a bachelor’s degree. If I were you, I could consider exercising the same humility.
