I don't know what zerohedge is, and the only "anti" thing I've ever looked up is antimatter.

It's a good thing that burning fossil fuels inadvertently saved humanity from the alleged impending plantapocalypse from 800,000 years ago
I don't believe it's clear what caused the warming which allowed humanity to flourish, which is why I used "miracle" as a stand-in for knowledge.

So, we should burn more fossil fuels so that we can get to the alleged greenhouse sweet spot, sooner.
Directionally correct, but I'd modify it slightly to "the human flourishing sweet spot". That encompases the flourishing of plantlife as human wellbeing is dependent on it.
