Fun fact, there are some theories that the Sahara desert was actually caused by over foraging from early goat herding.

So to a degree our ancestors may have already caused some climate change.

Wait... What?

Like when they say “cLiMaTe ChAnGe Is NoThInG NeW” and try to tell you “the climate has been changing for thousands of years”

Oh... Dang, I have never heard a climate denier even know about early farming practices in northern Africa to pull that one out and usually I get:

there is no way something as simple as a person or animal could have an impact on something as big as climate!

Wild. I didn't realize they were changing the cope, I guess I got to catch up on the patch notes.

I think they’re better at networking than the left. The moment there’s the slightest, most microscopically plausible counterpoint to something, it seems like they’re all bellowing it as if it’s the most obvious, incontrovertible thing on earth.

Then again I’m American where we seem to be especially in the dark on climate science.
