[β] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) i like the ever so slight implication here that a handful of deer could presumably cause global warming if we just didn't exist now. I wonder how likely that is to be true. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [β] grandkaiser@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago* Human-accelerated global warming wouldn't happen via a handful of deer.... But global warming was going to happen even if humans never existed. Global temperatures have waxed and waned since before life existed. The only difference here is that we're pressing on the gas pedal (literally) and accelerating the process. The idea that global temperatures would have never climbed without humans empowers denialists by giving them a strawman to point at. permalink fedilink source parent
