I agree and have seen read about all the horrible weather. Melting in some places freezing in other. Our contribution to chemicals in the air. We do extinguish forest fires more quickly that would normally just continue but we also start more

But the planet has been here for 4.5 billion years. If we say that we have 300 years of data that would represent 0.00000006666666% of the time. Its very little data to pass judgment on a eons long evolution. We are entering our 11th year of the suns 11year activity cycle. It might be another bad year. I'm not sure how I get my arms around this?
