1. Regarding PETM

I'm a believer in climate change. Which is kind of like saying I believe in air. Or water. Or gravity. It's not something you believe it. It's something that *is*.

If I'm reading the info right about PETM - no guarantee, mind you - it seems that the earth went through major and highly adverse warming many millions of years ago when there were no humans doing stuff.

Yes, climate change now is due to human interference with, well, with everything. But to what degree (haha) is more or less natural warming at work. Maybe we're at the point where it would happen anyway.

Probably not. But the question explains why I'm not a scientist of any kind.
