When the last ice age ended thousands of years ago, the rate of global warming — which was roughly 10 times slower than what we see today — was rapid enough to wipe out entire species.
That’s the point I was trying to imply with my sarcastic first comment.
Climate change deniers always like to point out ancient prehistoric changes that occurred on earth thousands or even millions of years ago … and they are right.
What they seldom understand is that the earth can weather these unbelievable changes but life, especially human life can not.
I never worry about the planet. It will be around for about another billion years in one form or another. It’s always a question of whether or not any living thing will survive on it’s surface.
I was being stupid with my first comment and I don’t mind being stoned for it … I just wanted to point out that climate change is not a problem for the planet … it’s a problem for the survival of all human life.

Ah, I didn’t catch the sarcasm! Poe’s law and all that
