Frankly, the world as we know it is going away, soon.

265. 1,450 years? Are you serious?

I'm telling you it's confirmation bias.

Because a pattern suddenly shifts in a millenium & half model, we're supposed to think it's the End of the World???
First of all how can they be sure that red line is correct? Human beings couldn't reliably travel this globe until the past few hundred years. And they didn't become experts at it until the 20th Century with better tools like airplanes.
How was this line put together? How do they know about arctic ice when they didn't even know the arctic until a couple of hundred years ago?
And how can they get such detail without anybody keeping good records in these past times?

A millenium & half is NOTHING when it comes to the Earth's history.
1,450 years is blip in Earth's timespan. A BLIP!

Arctic ice is melting. We can see that. Can you be SO SURE it's caused by humankind?
You're not gonna determine that with these limited timespans.
Even 10,000 years is small when it comes to Earth's changes.
We definitely know that the Earth changes drastically over its lifespan.
The whole thing about the dinosaurs era was that they lived in a different climate than we do in the human era.
The whole thing about the theoretical Pangaea supercontinent idea was that all the continents we see today were all connected in one big landmass once upon a time.

They point to the fact that Earth has changed DRASTICALLY in its time.
How do you know Earth's not simply going through another one of its changes?
Even if that change is inconvenient for our modern societies built upon the way we knew the world since its last change.

Human beings don't have the power to control the weather. It's that simple.
We don't control a lot of stuff & recognizing this reality will help you to find serenity.
I know it's humanity's motto to do the impossible so I wouldn't stand in the way of scientists researching futile grounds.
But they're overestimating their abilities & overstepping their bounds.

It's like one day human beings saying they can stop the Sun from exploding.
Like human beings saying they can create another natural moon from scratch.
Like human beings saying they can recombine all the asteroids from the asteroid belt back into the planet it once was.

We were given the power of the remix. To remix & recombine elements. But we don't create those elements.
We can create artificial wombs to simulate natural wombs to create babies. But we don't control the basic elements of what causes that life to spring.
We can carry oxygen from the Earth to travel into space to land on the Moon. But we are bound by the Earth because we cannot eliminate our need FOR that oxygen. And we can't just turn the Moon into another Earth because we don't know how to synthesize new oxygen.
That's only within the power of the divine.

P.S.: Human folly is not only found in superstition & religion. It can be in science as well because the common denominator in human folly is humans themselves.
