Disclaimer: I'm not a climate change denier, I think we should stop burning fossil fuels ASAP.

Though I'm one to question a lot of things and this is my 2 cents. How the hell we know this current changes are completely abnormal? I read about some weird climate anomalies centuries ago and of course there's a lot of evidence that current events are completely abnormal but one question always come to my mind.

What if we're wrong? What if we're being too cooky thinking that by having looked into some evidence that made sense, we're not completely wrong here and current events are just part of a cycle in the planet weather?

Again, I'm questioning but I don't need you guys to present me the proof, I'm aware of it. Just questioning if we're not wrong all along and are here destroying our mental health for nothing. Seems like even by the 1940s standards our generation is being constantly swarmed with problems which we can't fix, which are causing all sort of mental issues due to the complete stress we live in.

This being said, the switch from fossil fuels should be done ASAP, even if we're wrong and it's not causing issues in the environment, they are for sure causing health issues.

There is a very simple experiment to show that human industry is affecting the climate. Take two glass boxes. Fill one with air. Fill the next with air and add carbon dioxide in any amount. Put them outside next to each other in the sun. The one with additional carbon dioxide will get hotter in proportion to the amount of carbon dioxide added.

Any amount? How does this play out with a CO2 concentration of 0.04%?

It spreads out, like colorants in water.

Think about mercury:

> For example, if Isabella weighs 132 pounds (60 kg), she should consume a maximum of 95.8 µg of mercury per week.

95.8ug is just .0000001596..% of Isabella and yet it's deadly.
