Did you even look at what I posted? It addresses what you're saying, and it shows the Medieval Warm Period on the graph. In fact, even the article you posted has a similar graph as the first image on the page.
The medieval warm period and following "little ice age" are not even visible on the xkcd graph, that's how small they are compared to massive recent changes. You're looking at micro trend with a magnifying glass and macro trend with a distorting lens if you think the medieval events are anywhere close to what's happening. No recorded climate change happened as fast as the current one, there have been wilder changes but they happened over centuries, not decades
Saying climate always changed so it's ok is like saying you'll die eventually so it's ok if you die tomorrow
> better understand that climate has always changed and will continue to change.
Little Ice Age is on graph and is labeled. Medieval warm period is mentioned but too regional to show up in global temps.
But Little Ice Age lasted centuries and was only .5C. I hadn’t realized it was still happening until global warming erased it in 150 years. Then we added another 1C in less than 50 years. We are on track to warm another 3C by 2100, the amount of warming from real ice age in century instead of millennium.
Yes, then look 3 cm down and see a massive fucking swing with 20 times more amplitude than both of the mentioned events...
I stand by what I said, without the labels you wouldn't see these two events, meanwhile even without the label you can see the current trend is absolutely nowhere close to any other past changes
Come on. You can both dig deeper than a single biased source. The world isn't turning into hell within a century, as certain as the sky won't fall on top of our heads.
If you are old enough, at least learn from the past two decades. Every single time that our goodwill was placed to believe the news drama, the end-result are overwhelming taxes on the west while forgetting about the major culprits of pollution in India and China.
Where are the XKCD man-child cartoons teaching about that?
Our society today doesn't behave that differently from medieval scientologism. In that sense humans are just like the climate, changing only ever so slightly.
Not that long ago that parts of the globe were for centuries warmer up to 5 degree celsius and then fallen into a mini ice-age: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medieval_Warm_Period
Reality is quite cold, literally.
