In a deep red area here. Talked to locals and they say our temperatures have always fluctuated and that this is just a cycle. I explained that the CO2 in the atmosphere has been climbing steadily and it is at the point it was 100,000 years ago, (actually it was 33 MILLION years) - their eyes glaze over.
this doesn't add up, Jesus made the world 4,000 years ago
If itβs a cycle, ask them when the dinosaurs will come back. When they say βnot like that,β ask if the continents will come back together. When they say that wonβt happen, ask them to confirm that everything is changing, except the climate.
