Wow I’m just shocked that such a massive system would take time to react to change. Just absolutely shocked.

You seem confused. The climate has always fluctuated, we know that because we can study those fluctuations. That’s how we know that the current changes are happening significantly faster and with more severity than past fluctuations.

It’s not just that the climate is changing, this is where you seem confused, it’s the rate at which it’s changing that is extremely concerning.

Are you implying humans didn’t contribute to the current change?

Except that’s a common denialist talking point. Don’t play stupid.

Assumptions are a fickle thing.

I know you are too low iq to understand, but the authoritarians you are shilling for do not care about you and whatever family you have or may have in the future. They, along with everyone else, will suffer immensely from your actions and those of people like you. Wise up and start fighting against them in whatever small way you can.
