Why? Average Earth's temperature was 6 degrees Celsius higher for the last 500 million years. Mammals and other species thrived during one of the hottest periods in Earth's history. Some scientists argue that global warming will be net beneficial to the Global North.
why only look at the last 500 million years? you realize during almost half of earth’s history, Oxygen was very nearly absolutely missing from earth’s atmophere, to the extent that there is upper limit of no more than few kg of free molecular oxygen entire earth’s atmophere, judging by the fact that there are minerals from that era that could not have formed if there was more than a few molecule of oxygen in each kilogram of air. During 4/5 of the rest of earth’s history, there were no more oxygen in the earth’s atmophere than just a few percent of present oxygen content of tge atmophere.
yet life on earth prospered just fine during. so do you propose we should do nothing about it if our activities are eliminating oxygen from the atmophere?
