I don't understand what you think this demonstrates with regards to our current circumstances...?

The problem is that there's a new input helping to bring about the rise in heat.
That's like driving 100 mph on a twisty road today because you've done it before safely ... but today it's raining even as you assume safety based on experience.
Just as an aside, non-human life doesn't seem to be flourishing; animal extinctions have maintained a record rate for a while now, and from megafauna like elephants and rhinos to small organisms like coral, other animals are clearly in danger of the same.

Oh wait, life flourished. Never mind.
Try to grasp that not all life is the same. Extremophiles flourish in sulfuric acid vents at temperatures of 200F. Park yourself in front of one of these vents and see how well you 'flourish'.

That temperature has varied much more than what is projected, and life went on.
Look at the bottom - it's -6 to the present. Temp went up 6 degrees, and we weren't wiped out. Look at the top - it's +14 to present. People weren't around then, but lots of other life was.
If temperature goes up enough to significantly raise sea level, some land will be lost, and other land that wasn't usable before will be. People will have to move around. Life will go on.
The Paris accords are only projected to slow warming by 0.1 degree by 2050 anyway.

What life went on, Alpha...our lives? Our civilization? Our infrastructure?
No, no, and no. Stop.
You wanna be with the prez, for the economy? Well fine, do that, insist that the factory floors not be underwater. Insist that this massive loss of private and public property be addressed.

As opposed to keep warming up at a pace even evolution cant keep up. Bacteria can. Their god is smaller than yours and your ego.

Look it up ourselves? You mean looking at what scientists are telling us?
Or do you mean that we should look it up in some popular fiction?
Oh right I get it now, what you really mean is cherry pick some data out of context and exaggerate it so that you don't have to give a shit about how you're fucking things up for everyone else.

You didn't exactly answer my question. So, you're just going to ignore the detrimental effects of climate change that are happening to us right now in favor of pointing to the past? And do you think that rising sea levels are the only consequence of climate change? Do you think these effects occur in a vacuum? We just pick up and move back a bit; global crisis averted? You're grossly oversimplifying the processes at work.
