| | | In all instances, we don't know totally what we are doing. My mantra is that we don't know where we're going but we're on our way. Coming, ready or not. So we'd better make a good guess.
My point on CO2 is that the false premise is a bad choice.
By luck we might use a false premise and do a good thing, but that's not the way to bet.
unless we know what we are doing, which we mostly do not.
When we see something going wrong, such as a tragedy of the commons, doing nothing and risking snowball Earth, not just reglaciation, is a bad idea.
After 10,000 years, the interglacial was due to end. The Little Ice Age was a shot across our bows. A warning. Greenland froze up. Grapes no longer grew well in England.
The false premise is Earth in the balance. It has never been in balance. It seems to be, and kind of is, in the short term - weather keeps on happening, coming ready or not. Never in balance.
