Apparently your website is getting blocked by my antivirus program. Shows how reputable it is I guess.
Yes. And sea levels were 20-30 m above today's levels and forests grew in Greenland. 30% of land today was under the ocean.Bollocks.
At the time, atmospheric CO2 concentration was at a whopping 3000 to 9000 ppm!
A Graphical History of Atmospheric CO2 Levels Over Time | Earth.Org
As the most abundant greenhouse gas in our atmosphere, CO2 levels have varied widely over the course of the Earth’s 4.54 billion year history.
Have you looked into the dates of when different amounts of sea level rise are supposed to happen? One thing that I did not like about Al Gore is that in making the problem of AGW known he over stated when events would happen. Those events are happening, but not on the schedule that Gore said that they would. But for the last twenty years, and probably more, climate scientists have been very accurate in their predictions and that should worry science deniers.
I've added the PDF as an attachment.
OK, but I don't see anything that supports the original claim that lives are at risk because of climate change.

From around 20 million years ago, according to earth.org
In the Earths past it has been higher. Sometimes much higher, and that was a good thing. For example during most of the Precambrian it was much much higher than it is now. But the Sun was also much dimmer. The Faint Young Sun Paradox is an interesting problem. Largely solved but there are still questions. But there could have been upwards of 1,000 times today's concentrations.
Yes, not during man's time on Earth. It was quite warm then too.
You do not believe that a 20m rise in sea level and inundation of 25% of current land area will kill people? Such changes will simply destroy civilizations.
No, it's ignorance that gets people killed. People can adapt to gradual changes.
My solution was to stop debating climate change and let us debate solutions. I am being proactive. The political Left wants to kill fossil fuel even before there are full logistics for alternatives; electric, in place. That may work in terms of CO2 but it will cause hardship since it is causing inflation and leaves too many people hanging in limbo.
Forest fires in Africa are mainly in grasslands and do not contribute much to net CO2 at all. Grasses are perennial plants and burning of grass simply releases CO2 that were collected a year ago from the atmosphere. If the grasses did not burn and instead were either eaten by grazers or decomposed, that would also release the CO2.
I'm not going to ask you why you think the left is killing fossil fuel. They aren't doing any such thing. Democrats have been strong dvocates of alternative energy while the republicans have been "drill, baby, drill". There's no doubt that republicans have slowed the progress of alternative energy generation over the decades, so we have to catch up. Unfortunately it looks like we have ignored the warning of cliamte change too long and effects are already hitting the world hard. How much will it cost us?
Invest how? Who will pay, and where will the money come from?
I don't see any actual solution here. Is there a problem with reducing burning fossil fuels?
Sarcasm. Are you using this because you need to offset the guilt you feel because of the harm your ideological beliefs cause other people?
As if right wing disinformation does. This statement of your is an excuse to believe what you want to believe for a political reason. This is what the world faces these days, the prevalence of disinformation that appeals to those of a political angle, and cotizens like yourself are wager to go along with the fraud. Fortunately more conservatives are beginning to acknowledge facts and listen to experts, not right wing disinformation. We watch to see how long you hold out and feed on disinformation to get a political fix.
That is not the claim of the scientific community.
Lefty trick? To understand and be concerned by the science makes one a "Lefty."
We know there was Russian collusion with the Trump campaign. Well, I do. Righties listen to conservative indoctrination media.
I do. I'd love to see a fossil fuel digesting microbe evolve and consume every bit of petroleum, coal, natural gas, etc.. today and leave the world to start over tomorrow. I assure you that the hardship caused would pale in comparison to what's actually coming instead.
No, it's about the gullibility of the cult of warm.
I keep hearing republicans accuse the Obama era FBI of "spying" on Trump and the Trump campaign during the 2015-16 campaign. They never acknowledge that the FBI was watching Russians who were meeting Trymp and his campaign officials. There were 112 documented meetings with Russians at a time the FBI knew Russia was working to interfere with our election. Trump also denied having business interests in Russia, so why the meetings? Trump is free to meet with whomever he wants, but if he is running for a public office, and he is meeting with people from a nation that is a serious adversary, it is suspicious. It is the FBI's duty to observe and examine threats domestically.
I plan to set up solar in my house in the next few years. My city suffered severe storms 5 weeks ago and hundreds of thousands of people were without power. Trees took out a lot of the infrastructure. Most were without power for several days, but others were out for up to 5-6 days. Mine was out for almost 4 days, which is a rude awakening when it is hot and still have to function and go to work. A lot of citizens were mad that it took so long, but that is the dilemma of a city with a lot of trees and power lines above ground.
The only gullibility is those in denial, like yourself. Remember, your ilk are the ones who ignore what experts report. Just like creationists you are on the wrong side of intelligent.
The gullible ones are the dopes duped in science denial by fossil fuel industry lobbyists trying to protect profits by fighting regulation.
