@tallard666 Every single day you teach the same thing? You must have some pretty slow students. We have not had climate stability for the last 10,000 years, unless you define 'stability' as constant change. I completely dispute the premise that humans had any meaningful impact on the environment prior to the Industrial Revolution. We don't know what the temperature or composition of the atmosphere was 10,000, 100,000 or 1,000,000 years ago. All dating methods rely on a massive pile of assumptions, such as the assumption that ice or geologic deposition is relatively consistent and gradual. Uniformitarianism is a bankrupt ideology. The story of climate is a story of relative calm punctuated by massive disruption and often extinctions. Some of these events are probably cyclical, but not all of them. We are literally in the infancy of all sciences. Once we have another million years of observational data, we might be able to say something more definitive about the climate.
