"The climate is always changing" |

"Don't worry, asteroids hit planets all the time." "Ice ages? Expect one every once in awhile." "Hurricanes, bah" "Tsunamis Baloney"
Do you catch the bouquet of insanity in these statements? They brain impaired (conservatives) say not to worry if anything has ever happened before. Well listen up turd for brains, just because it's happened before doesn't mean it's not a serious threat.
"Terrorists attacks? not to worry, they've happened before." You'd never hear those ass faces saying this.

1. The last time the climate changed this quickly was about 65 million years ago |

when Homo Sapiens was just a gleam in T-Rex's eye.

3. I was thinking six million years ago. |

When we think the Ross ice shelf formed. Leading to my personal sole theory of the evolution of man called the Water Fountain at Jones Beach Theory of Human Evolution. We were happy, rollicking creature in sheltered lagoon languidly considering the possibility of becoming aquatic. We had no predators and didn't bother with defenses. No claw, fangs, hard shells, nada. When we stand up, our most necessary organs are exposed to frontal attack. So we weren't being attacked. Our babies take forever to grow up and we mostly have one at a time with a hefty gestation...nobody was after our nurseries.
And then climate change. Ross ice shelf sucked the water off the beach. The length of ground between fresh and salt water grew longer and longer. We didn't have permeable skin allowing us to take in salt water and leave out the salt molecules. And no more time to acquire it.
Now, as a small child, I just loved the beach but hated the walk to the water fountain. It was so far away. We had to pick up everything to go to the fountain. Couldn't leave it on the beach. So my mother and every mother brought drinks, but then the potty was so far away too. The early apes didn't care about that. But they didn't have juice boxes. Eventually mothers moved their babies closer to the source of fresh water away from the beach.
That's my Water Fountain at Jones Beach Theory of Human Evolution. Caused by the rapid formation of the Ross ice shelf roughly 6 million years ago.

That these people don't give a shit about anything besides their own pitiful existence.
They don't care about anything else but themselves, and we have to live with these turds.

5. They don't even care about their own existence |

much less their children's. It's all about money. Who cares if the big company is polluting we need jobs.
