When dinosaurs ruled the earth, what we now know as Florida was under thirty feet of seawater. What's more, a vast inland sea extended what we call the Gulf of Mexico all the way north into what is now Canada.
The fact is that the climate has always changed, and likely always will change. The two questions we need to answer are:
1. How much, if any, of the current changes are due to human activity?
2. How much of the global economy are we willing to destroy in an attempt to slow those changes down?
Just between you and me and the lamp post, I don't think we should leave the answers up to a 29 year old ex bartender from Brooklyn.
Seven feet? Pffffft!
