Scientists believe that the last time concentrations were this high was
during the Pliocene epoch, around 3 temperatures were 5-7 degrees Fahrenheit warmer
than they currently are and sea levels were nearly 80 feet higher than
they are today. Since that period, scientists believe that naturally
changing ocean patterns may have contributed to the significant decrease
of atmospheric CO2, and a subsequent decline in global temperatures.
Whatever the cause of this CO2 reduction, atmospheric CO2 concentrations
stabilized at around 280 parts per million around 10,000 years ago, and
lasted until the dawn of the industrial revolution in the 1800s—the
time when humanity began releasing unprecedented amounts of greenhouse
gases as fossil fuels became the predominant form of energy.

I don't doubt the climate change science. At the same time, the climate has changed in the past, and will change in the future. We are focusing on the wrong problem.
Water is a problem. We have already polluted our water with too many chemicals -- and here in the United States water testing has been essentially unchanged for decades, even as more chemicals are routinely used by industry. We ignore the health consequences of those chemicals as we wait for "proof" of their harm. But proof should not be necessary. It should be sufficient that a society wants a water supply without chemicals -- even if those chemicals haven't been proven to cause harm.
We should be living in a much simpler society. A society with more basic food, water, and products. And a more simple economy. And a more just society. These are things desired by most people -- instead we have allowed the rich to control our world.
