  1. Why would human impacts on climate and Milankovitch cycles be mutually exclusive?

  2. Why would it matter that we've "understood something longer than I've been alive" when our ability to measure things and the things we're measuring are changing drastically in our lifetime? Like a century ago a dude figured something out and we've confirmed it lines up with observations of the past, so that's the way it's going to be? The way the world would change every 10 years would have blown his mind and the factors involved now would have been beyond the predictions of sci-fi.

  3. If it's meaningless then is it fine that they're spending billions on it? Or are they heroes? What's more likely: the massive scale of humanities dumping of waste into the ocean and gasses into the air would have no impact on the environment, or that a large corporation would invest to avoid short term changes in crop futures even if it hurts us?
