I guess if the water supposedly rising, we can actually catch some good waves in Cali, even fix our drought, good news! :clap:
Warmer water means more CO2 which makes plants grow better and more O2 for us. Seems like a win all around.

More CO2 also causes the seawater to go more acidic, which kills coral reefs.

And this is bad if you care for anything other than yourself, especially for marine flora and fauna and the wonders of the natural world, like the great barrier reef.

This is no evidence of global warming.

Your denial does not make things go away or change reality.

Antarctica has been growing ice for a while now.

Antarctica is a continent with three different ice sheets. They are all in different states of change right now. While the overall mass of the aggregate ice sheet has increased, that's been due to gains in Eastern Antarctica. Western Antarctica and the Antarctic peninsula have lost ice.

So it's entirely possible that this isn't even remotely a unique event.

Sure. It's also entirely possible there's a structure beneath the ice where Predators used to hunt aliens as well.

Okay, but I don't see how that's relevant to the discussion.

No. The reasoning is that if it happened before, there's no reason to conclude that human action is responsible because things warmed up without human action.

That's not a reasoning, that's a logical fallacy. I mean humans died of natural causes in the past, therefore there's no reason to conclude that someone one was murdered, right?

I never made any type of argument like that.
