    Luminous ether, eugenics, homosexuality as a mental disorder, lobotomies, cocaine as a cure all drug, health benefits of cigarettes, Thalidomide for pregnant women, DDT as a miracle chemical, craniometry, steady state universe, safety of lead in pipes gas & paint, etc. etc. etc.
    You didn't have 100s or 1000s of people researching it. You didn't have a lot of things. Cavemen believed shit too. Yanno?

    1000s of accomplished people didn't study the stuff you mentuoned in depth leading to international meeting over the same thing. No large group of people (if any group) committed themselves to studying the above subjects.

    The simple fact is it they said this has happened and we have had an unprecedented occurrence. Maybe there was some heating somewhat close to this rate but it happened once at most as far as I know. It is not normal and super rare at best. Yet the scientists predicted this one and it came true. I'd love to see you doubters wrap odds around that. You can do it for obvious things that are discrete and quantifiable. You have enough data to make an estimate that the scientists just for pure lucky. Try it. I did that in another post. Like 1 in 10000 iirc.

    Man has survived global cooling periods but not the other way around. You can bundle up bit when it is hot it doesn't work like
    That ......
