yes, it was the Carboniferous era. Again, for me, Climate Science is about two issues:
* can humans survive much higher temperatures, especially if they decimate our ability to produce enough food or harvest it from oceans?
* are the cost of changing our ways to cleaner energy sources outweighed but he costs of global warming, which include increased damage to coastal properties and lost life, increased disease from insect proliferation, and increased intensity of storms leading to increased damage to human property?

I think we should all take those questions seriously. The earth will survive and maybe we will too, but there is a cost benefit equation that needs to be studied here to make the appropriate decisions about our energy sources and uses.
