“No matter how well informed you are, you are surely not alarmed enough.”

Then you have:

Climate change is happening whether we like it or not. That’s not really in question. It was fascinating talking to Icelandic scientists this week (with Iceland being *very directly* affected by warming and loss of glacial ice). The overwhelming opinion is: you can’t stop climate change. Period.

However, and this is the important part: what humans have done is increased the *amplitude* of change from what it would otherwise have been. So while we aren’t in a “little ice age” yet like we had from 1200-1900 or so, our efforts would be well spent on reducing the *speed* with which our climate changes.

But preventing climate change entirely? That’s a fool’s errand. The planet is going to cycle and doesn’t care how we feel about it.

For those interested, there is a Youtube channel Astrum that is very objective with 1.85M subscribers.
I think the bottom line on the Climate Change video was that the alarming stat was not Change, but Rate-of-Change.
