No, I'm calling you sheep at the moment for refusing to consider that, as science tells us that temperature on earth has varied by 20 degrees in the past, and we're on the low side of the range currently, that maybe a rise in temperature isn't going to be catastrophic. And also for caring about the Paris Accord, which won't do much of anything, instead of demanding that drastic action be taken. Seriously, if you guys believe the gloom and doom, you should be bombing fossil-fuel burning power plants or some such, instead of protesting Milo.
I agree that the religious need to apply much more critical thinking.
Again, the Sun is warming, getting bigger and brighter, and so, you can't compare the past with the present -- it's apple and oranges. As it is, the Earth is right next to the danger zone with respect to radius of habitability around the Sun (where liquid water can exist):
