This Greta Thunberg fear of climate change confuses me. What we are in now is an escape period from "the little ice age". We are in a return to normalcy but moreover, a path to tremendous success.
Each period of warming brought with it tremendous success for humans. The Medieval warming period launched the renaissance and escape from the black plague, the rise of Europe, learning, and science. The last warming period before that brought the great Roman empire. A period of tremendous success and plenty. And before that the Minoans were inventing and discovering the world in a new golden age.
No Greta, I fear not the warming ages, we are lucky that we might experience the cusp of it in our lifetimes. Will you apologize to us when you are old and living in that tremendous time?
