This will also be true for CO2 — at least as long as we assume that natural emission and uptake of CO2 can into a fairly stable equilibrium (like the family's fixed $ 80,000 per year income and expenses)
during the stable climate that existed for the first 8 millennia of the Holocene.

Chris Colbert (86) and all those who use the argument that
climate has always changed naturally, and that there is no «ideal»

during that period.
I certainly do not think that comet showers are more common than we think or that the

during one or two time periods.
If it turned out that rapid
