It isn't as if we were not warned. Ever hear of SVANTE ARRHENIUS (1859-1927)?

He was the first to claim that "fossil fuel combustion may eventually result in enhanced global warming." He proposed a relationship/link between atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.In 1896! Yep! 1896! One hundred years later...1996...we changed nothing. In 2021 we are in crisis. It isn't as if we weren't WARNED.

For many years up to an including TODAY it was/is thought that human influence is insignificant compared to natural forces. Head in the sand. What you don't observe does not exist. See where that brilliant "thinking" has gotten us?

So here we are as was predicted still ignoring the connection. WHAT?
