One of the things I almost never see mentioned in the various climate debates is the observation that Earth is historically on the cooler side and is rising from that very low base.

The planet has historically gone through multiple cycles of not having polar ice caps and then having them again, etc. Over millions of years. There's been a really long-term feedback loop there.

I'm not a climate scientist by any stretch, but I just find that general omission in public discussions around it to be interesting.

Because the problem it's not about being in certain values of CO2 or temperature, but about breaking the equilibrium and the velocity of the change.

Also, this is not a problem for the planet Earth, but for us humans, and for several ecosystems that we depend on to survive.
