In terms of geological time, how significant is 100 years?


To the environment in which humans, you know, us, 100 years is monumental.

you statement about geologic time is both ignorant and irrelevant, we dont think about our survival in terms of geologic time and neither do we afix climate change models to geologic time models, a paleoclimatologist might but you are not one so again, stop posting about climate change

Thats just dumb.

The supposed topic--"climate change".."global warming".."weather disruption"-- supposedly have nothing to do with the life span of a human. We must do something..for the children and their children.
It's almost like you are purposely trying to miss the context. Kinda like a religious zealot. Why do you suppose that is?

Ok but climate change is not just dealing with the environment that humans live in. It is dealing with the big picture of the environment and the lifespan of the planet. 100 years is a YUUUGE deal to us, but it is 0.0000022% of the lifespan of the planet. So 100 years is incredibly insignificant.

Maybe that is the problem. Maybe we need to use models that look at the entire picture or atleast more than 0.0000022% of the picture to see if there is a problem or if any potential actions or inactions would make a difference.
