There is no need to protect earth from itself. Man has done enough invasive damage trying to control mother nature.
I totally agree. If we would take care of the Earth it would still go through changes but with all the raping and pillaging it cannot be "natural" for the Earth and has to have consequences. Look at what we have done to the seas. It wont get any better and the Earth will have to clean herself in a way that will indeed be scary when she revolts.

Why is the rate alarming? We don't know how fast it melted nor how often in the last several million years. Everything is speculation at this point...or fear mongering.
Yes, we can calculate what it was like back then vs now. That's what Climate Science is.
The fact is, most people believe in climate change. It's the cause of climate change and to what degree mankind is responsible which seems to be the argument of the day. There are many things the earth is in control of which we can do absolutely nothing about.
That argument doesn't hold much water. " I don't think we can do anything about it, so let's just not do anything about it, lets not even worry about making it better or worse in some little increment, let's just forgot about it all together.
I don't subscribe to man made climate change either just so you know, but I do know that as humans, we have this incredible ability to invent things and do things that change the world around us. This challenge is a perfect example of how humans could come together and help make a huge crisis somewhat better.
