So do you think sea levels will rise 400 feet during this latest melt off?
So non-industrial processes (pre-industrial processes) have the capability of heating the earth to much warmer temperatures than at present. This has happened many times over the history of the earth - but somehow non-industrial processes can be totally ruled out as being responsible for current heating processes or considered as a non-significant factor for current heating processes. Makes a lot of sense.
I once tried to quantify the odds that scientists would have claimed this and it wound up being true over the course of 50 or so years... but whatever. You guys think like women. All emotions. You know what you want to believe and that's that.

How long do you think it took to accumulate the fossil fuels we've burned? How do you think that timeframe compares to the modern Era?
When did the earth lose its ability to heat the earth without industrial processes ? Was it yesterday afternoon ?
