Changes? Sure. Immense changes? I don't know about that.
I do know that the climate has always been changing and always will be changing because that is the very nature of the beast.
I also know that in regards to weather and climate the signal to noise ratio is very, very low. In addition to this, the 'science' in this arena is very heavily observational not experimental, leading to models that describe well what has happened while poorly predicting what will happen.
Not to mention the fact that there are so many 'climate change' models that they predict nearly every possible outcome. This leads to a situation where no matter what happens, it supports the climate change narrative.
I don't think that pollution is good, obviously the industrial revolution has led to a lot of pollution. We need to take care of our planet, I don't think too many people disagree with this.
Overall, I am more concerned with real pollution than CO2. The earth is a massive buffer that tends to equilibrate rather quickly.
Humans are careless defectors and doing more damage to earth faster than juat about anything has.
Thumbs and frontal lobes are about the worse thing that has ever happen to earth. But when the sun eventually shallows it all nothing can really be said to have haopened, and we will be long dead by then anyway.
But seriously though, we could be living in the middle of a nuclear winter and most life on earth could be facing extinction and you would still be trying to minimize it. You can Google aerial shots of mass agriculture sites and see giant neon green lakes. Do you think people have ever had to wear masks on a normal day due to pollution when cavemen walked the earth? No fucking way. Goes back to the post you quoted at this point.
