Think of it this way:

The sun has been growing steadily warmer and brighter throughout earth's history.  But the earth has been able to keep its surface at roughly the same temperature during almost its entire history.  The way earth accomplished this was to steadily reduce the amount of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in its atmosphere.  It's like a person taking off layers of clothing as the room gets hotter to keep himself comfortable.

But the atmosphere is only about 0.04% CO2 now.  It's like the person is now down to underwear.   There is almost nothing more to take off,  but the sun is still getting hotter.   So soon the person would have to take off the underwear, and after that there is nothing more to take off.  After that, If the room continues to get hotter, as the sun will continue to do, he will overheat.

You can make the person put on some extra clothing just so he can take it off, that's like adding co2 to the atmosphere now.   but that doesn't help the heat situation because it just makes the person overheat right now, instead of some time after when he otherwise would have ran out of cloth to take off.
Now I understand. So the planet is down to the last of the 7 veils.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

I may defend your right to free speech, but i won't help you pass out flyers.
