Really?
How long ago was the last Ice Age again?

Wasn't the last Ice-Age recent?
An age where it subdued the moisture in the atmosphere and caused a 10,000 year drought in Australia, that scuttled the Aboriginal culture from 'living' to just 'surviving' ...since the Aboriginals arrived during a previous Ice Age across a land-bridge from Australasia (South Asia)?

But saying this, hasn't Humanity 'risen' from Ape-to-Hominid-to Sapien during a period of Global Temperature being way lower/cooler than it 'normally' is?

Being a Scuba Diver - nothing worse than a CO2 hit (increase), just like sea-sickness and at worse, can cause death.

Got a reference for that?

According to Mauna Loa, CO2 is so stable it never got above 300ppm, until about 1950. Of course that is using Ice Core data, which has been shown to be not accurate.

Then again. According to plant stomata CO2 has never been stable

According to Wagner et al and others, using fossil plant stomata, it has approached 340ppm. Due to the small number of studies, there can be no guarantee that CO2 is the "highest on record in 800,000 years".

Don't shoot the Messenger Cheesy

I personally think the world should be a lot warmer and wetter than what it has been for over a million years.
The planet needs more 'oxygen' in its atmosphere and is trying to right itself.

People say it's not 'natural' for our inducement of 'warming' via our 'scientific' inventions of progress.
But to me, Humanity is a part of Nature and this World and what we are doing is ...natural, regardless if we are seeing it as 'flaw'. We are 'meant' to do this.
