>>20626765>Well then present your thesis on climate change to us.Well, (And I fully expect to be yelled at, insulted and NO U'd for this short work off the top of my head on fucking /k/) I think as follows.
We have a geological and historic record going back millions of years that accounts for massive changes in climate, floods of a literally biblical scale (Bible bullshit had to come from somewhere and they found the origin of that story as far as we can tell) and catastrophic changes on local ecology and temperature. Long before any man started the hand crank on his old Ford the Sahara turned to sand, the glaciers swept across the continents, and the snow melted to lakes. This has been happening for a VERY long time with no intervention by man, but the issue is "Every generation believes it is living in the most important moment in history" so we assume what is happening right now is somehow different from the past, we and our time is in some way special.
In reality, the USA could not destroy the planet if we tried. Every nuke and barrel of oil we own could not wipe out the planet, after a million or so years the plants would be back and animals would be wandering around. But on the short term scale, we are not even contributing enough to out pace volcanic gasses, cows, and forest fires around here, so what makes you think correlation implies causation? Just because the temp went up a bit on your incredibly short sighted little graph along with practically the rise of human industrial capability does not mean the temp was not already on the way up and we just happened to start recording that type of data at the same time we started having the industrial capability to focus on shit like that instead of sewing our own pants.
