I waited a week because posting it sooner gets me "You're posting too fast. Slow down". So some of my replies are quick, others get queued up for days. Fix the site, don't complain to me.

Anyway, it's not anti-science. It's well-known that the earth was hotter during the time of the dinosaurs. Sure, rate of change is important, but as I said in the end, the biggest problem for humans is rising sea levels, because of where humans live. Worse storms are also a big problem, though here again where humans live is a big problem since they tend to live on coasts and storms usually hit there.

Posting too fast clears in an hour or two, not days. Learn how the site works, don't complain to me.

It's classic climate denial to continue to harp that the earth was hotter in the past so somethingsomethingsomething look over there and ignore the fact that the rate of change this century, not looking back a million years, is the point of the comic.
