Right.

In all seriousness.

Do you or don't you believe that the climate is changing at a more rapid pace than ever before? Forget giving it a title, forget the fake hysteria and the exclamation marks. Is it or isn't it happening at an alarming rate? And if it IS, do you honestly believe people are ridiculous for attemping to do something about it?

US Airways plane gets stuck in ‘soft spot’ on pavement at Reagan National

That's about as real as it gets.

The kickstand on my Schwinn 3 speed with the banana seat and sissy bar used to sink into the pavement far enough that my bike would fall over. That was during the last ice age of the 1970's.

more rapid pace than ever before? - Maybe or Maybe Not. We can only guess by the data we have in time frame of only a little over a century. Anything else is very much so a guesstimate (which are often proven wrong).

No, it's not an alarming rate. Alarming is subjective to how much an individual can remember about the past or another can make them believe.

Yes, people are ridiculous for trying to play God with nature.

Why is attempting to be conscious about the environmental impact we are having considered "playing God with nature"? Shouldn't we do our best to take care of our planet?

Take care of our planet? Please. The planet can take care of itself. It always has long before man was ever here and will long after man is gone.

This is such an ignorant statement that I don't know where to begin.

You honestly believe the human race has no negative impact on the environment? And even if they did, they shouldn't ATTEMPT to reduce it?
