Climate change is the biggest challenge that humans have ever faced. It is ironic that we are doing it to ourselves.
At the end of the last ice age the peak of the big ice melt likely caused the sea to rise level by feet per century. You got that right, it's nothing like the rate we see now. Not even close.

The biggest challenge faced by man was not going extinct during the last ice age.
