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.

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,

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.
