But it's not natural to have a frozen North Pole and Antartica covered in ice sheets. what is not natural is for the ice sheets to melt so quickly, in conjunction with rising seawater temperatures, that sea levels will rapidly rise and drown perhaps 50% of the cities on the planet within a century or three. What would be natural would be a much more gradual change, giving us humans, and of course the flora and fauna, time to adapt and evolve to the changing conditions. For example, fuxxy wuxxy could evolve into a merman and live in peace and tranquillity with his mermaid bride, perched on top of the Thames Barrier when it is permanently overwhelmed by sea levels. That was the standard thinking on the subject until very recently. One of the flaws in the methodology was that with a smaller data sample it was believed that if the sea level rose say 10 metres in a 100 years then it would rise at a rate of 10 centimetres a year however there is now evidence that sea level rises occurs in sudden pulses so in effect a sudden jump of say a metre could happen over just one or two years. (not actual figures .... just to illustrate) www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/postice-age-sea-level-rise-happened-in-bursts/ (not the finest I have read but all I could find quickly) There is also growing acceptance of what was considered to be wild theories about rapid melting of the North American ice cap causing massive and extremely large floods. (Missoula flood) causing the incredible scablands of northwestern USA (Good proponent of these theories is Randall Carlson, his lectures and evidence presented is very convincing even if he does look like a maverick)

Aw, bless you. 😂😂😂😂 Because I can see the possible origins of a myth, old testament, BCE btw, it doesn't equate that I am a Christian. Strange logic.

Kris told us this yonks back. I know these things, I am a dog. I think you mean,"I self identify as a dog" which is completely different from being a dog.
