    Scientists claim this is just a phase of the earth that has taken place many times in the past.

    1. When it happened before, everything died off
    2. This is the first one caused by its inhabitants
    3. Climate science intends to prevent both of those.

    So the scientists who claim so aren’t being genuine, not being truthful, and they’ve moved the goalposts. And probably are real dicks at parties.

    Other than that, bang-on.

      The last time it happened wasn’t too long ago and things didn’t die off in droves as far as I understood.

      These findings also say that carbon dioxide and methane gas aren’t the main causes for global warming and the climate change, as they weren’t the last time(s) either.

      I’m not going to involve ad hominems here against either side (ahem), I’m just relaying the findings.

      There are scientists saying this and there are scientists saying that, and that’s all we know until we deep dive into the studies to analyze and scrutinize them ourselves.

      Science was wrong about sugar and fat for decades, too. No need to down vote here. I just think it’s important to take all findings into consideration before we sink trillions of dollars into changing the world into something that isn’t really helping. Or inventing things that might release less CO2 but release more toxins for other reasons, like electric cars e.g. (I say as an EV driver…)

      Again, I’m not saying either side is wrong or right. But it’s important not to stigmatize being open to all the science. Stigmatizing isn’t scientific at all. That’s mob mentality and very dangerous.
