The human species is incapable of comprehending time spans in excess of
roughly 72 hours. 800 years is as meaningless to a human as astrophysics
is to a flea.

Therefore, human science is populist science: it defines everything in
terms of current events. E.G. the disappearance of the Maya and the
Khmer are both explained today by climate change. During the cold war,
both were explained by conflict between superpowers. Before that, both
were Malthusian.

Today, there are no phenomena that cannot be explained by climate
change, and climate has become the de facto explanation for everything
we observe and everything we expect to ever observe.

So learn to live with it. It's only temporary.

p.s. this post is the result of the increasing narcotic effect of CO2,
as measured by the Meyer-Overton method.  As CO2 continues to increase
over SoFla, we can expect an exponential increase in looney posts, along
with a huge increase in demand for olive oil.
