What do they think caused it? Just time passing?

[–] MaxLemminist@lemmy.ml 2 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Basically yes.
Nothing in nature stays the same.
What changed it the 99.999% of time (and waaay more drastically) the humans weren't there?

Climate does change over time however what WE are experiencing is a change beyond the norm - Human Activity Accelerated Climate Change. We are causing the climate to change at a greatly accelerated rate.

[–] MaxLemminist@lemmy.ml 1 points 20 hours ago

Yes both things are true.
The comment I reacted to sort of implied nothing would happen unless humans.
While it has been much warmer or colder and at far greater levels.
