And now we are supposed to believe that if a little bit more melts we all die.
Your problem isn't that the solution to fix global warming is obviously a scam, or that the temperature data has been falsified again and again, or that every single dooms day climate change computer model for the past 20 years has failed. It's these ridiculous claims that if it gets a tiny bit warmer that pretty much we all die.
No ones buying it any more. It's starting to souls like crazy talk. The man made alarmist/dooms day global warming people are starting to look, sound and maybe even smell exactly like the homless guy on the street corner holding up a sign saying "the end is near" written on a dirty piece of cardboard.
99.9% of all species that have ever existed are extinct.
Again not worried about extinction either.
Since it like climate change are natural.

The sea level changed because a lot of ice melted. Right now, almost all the rest of the ice in the world is melting. The sea level is probably going to rise at least 6 feet, and possibly 10 feet in just the next 80 years.
How many people will be massively affected by that one change? Considering that about 2/3rds of the world's population live pretty close to the coast.
We had about 170-280ppm of carbon dioxide over the last 800,000 years or so - EXCEPT since about 1850. We are now well over 400ppm and climbing about 2-2.5ppm per year - and this is accelerating.
If all that change happened with a stable level of carbon dioxide, then your personal guess about the seriousness of what will happen with a rapidly increasing greenhouse gases - methane and nitrous oxide at orders of magnitude "stronger" greenhouse gases than carbon dioxide - is meaningless.
This is exactly what scientific models are for.
