To be fair; “ever recorded” only means the last 100 years give or take. The history of the world is a lot longer than that, and there have been plenty of colder but also even warmer periods throughout it for all kinds of reasons. I’m not saying we have no influence, but excuse me if I’m not prepping my basement just yet.

What Farsala said. 2000 years is also too short of a timespan. With statements like ‘ever recorded’ they always mean since they started actually recording data in the moment, which didn’t happen until relatively recently. Like I said I’m not saying we don’t have any influence or aren’t accelerating things (the rise in CO2 in the atmosphere since the 1800s coinciding with a rise in temperature would be too much of a coincidence), but the world is already long overdue for such a rise in temperature.

Well, widespread rioting is actually happening. Though that doesn’t have anything to do with the climate change.

Well maybe it have... if it was winter people would not be on the streets, this spring was very hot

Heh, yeah that’s one way to look at it.
