I have no idea what you are babbling about. Sure, the evolution of the climate is recorded in the geological record. Climate scientists largely understand why these geological timescale events happened. What we are now undergoing is orders-of-magnitude faster than any geologically recorded event. Except for catastrophic events like meteorite impacts and mega-vulcanism there has never been such a rapid change. And climate scientists understand why. Look in the mirror. It is us.

Maybe you’re right. Maybe we should panic.

Maybe we should instil panic and fear in the junior school kids. Yeah, that’ll help!

Maybe we should be teaching the kids that white people are evil and rich white people just want to destroy the environment.
