> Yes, they're straining. But they've always been, through recorded history.
You keep repeating that, but it simply isn't true. The oceans have not been straining in the pre-industrial era in the slightest.
> You can canoe down the Delaware River today and feel entirely surrounded by the trees, yet around the time of the Revolution, those hills were bare.
This is a typical anecdote that falls flat in the face of data. Look at global forestation rates in the pre-industrial era and today.
> So you'll have to explain to me
No one owes any explanation to a person who denies facts when presented with them. You made claims without evidence, therefore your claims can be dismissed without evidence.
