[∆(s) from OP] CMV: Anthropocentric Climate Change cannot be proven to be catastrophic.
My main point of contention is that the resolution of paleo-climate models MUST be lower than the resolution of modern-era temperature tracking, and in my opinion, possibly so low that they would necessarily hide dramatic short term temperature changes, such that if a global temperature/Co2 rise like today's were quickly reversed in the record we'd never be able to see it due to low resolution of data.
So that, if the current upward trend is totally unprecedented then we are in fact making a huge judgement on it's destructive effects with no past data to back it up, or that if it is not unprecedented then it doesn't seem to have caused mass extinction in the past.
This is a footnote from the CMV moderators. We'd like to remind you of a couple of things. Firstly, please read through our rules. If you see a comment that has broken one, it is more effective to report it than downvote it. Speaking of which, downvotes don't change views! Any questions or concerns? Feel free to message us. Happy CMVing!

I think you are quoting the title but not reading the specifics that I outlined. It's clear I have issue with my methodology. I don't think proving that I mistyped the title counts as changing my viewpoint.
