	No wonder you read Speculative Fiction. You lack
apparently the "lobes" for science and wish to push the blame
off on Sol Invitus.
`
	As as person who prizes the work done by the real climate
scientist i find your argument absurd. And your estimate of the
time the planet has been warming ridiculous. The Earth has been
warming since the last Ice Age.
	Crabs, lobsters and other sea food do very well with
sea water until it is heated to boiling.  You do not even have
to heat the coral near boiling and the coral is dying. Sea mammals
like Whales are suffering from nutritional insufficiency because
the food they depend on is dying.

	Humans can handle a bit of warmth though personally
beyond 70 degrees F makes me very uncomfortable but in areas
that have been hot but not too hot for humans people are dying
from the heat. Certain crops will not grow well in higher heat.
The soil where not flooded and being washed away is drying out.

	So I believe that human activity has contributed to the
release of gases which prevent the atmosphere from cooling
properly. Among those are Methane and Carbon Dioxide.

	When the glaciers of California or anywhere else
start growing again I would if then alive proclaim
victory over the Climate Crisis present and impending.
