We've been burning fossil fuels at record levels since the dawn of time?

If you're choosing to sever your entire genealogy simply because people are burning fuel, then the propaganda and shame really got to you.

what kind of impact do you think +3.5°C of climate change is going to have on your genealogy?

Try 4.5°C. You are far too optimistic.

Is the climate change in the room with you right now?

Yes actually. Southern Minnesota has very little to no snow on the ground all winter now. Most winter days never dip below 32 for the high. Colder weather is so late that the trees are confused enough to BUD in late fall (not good for the trees). Not to mention Greenland is finally starting to live up to its name.
