39. I think “polarizing” is an excellent term!
This little orb, we call earth, gets hot then it gets cold, ask any geologist. Planetary scale = geological time.

“We”, little humans, are not releasing any more or different compounds than already existed here at a basic atomic level. We can’t because it was already here! Cloraforacarbons included.

My comments are not meant to indicate that our activities as humans are somehow benign. But I feel on a planetary scale, those activities are no more damaging than a collection of beavers building dams.

Given enough time a beaver dam gets washed down stream. Given enough time the Hoover dam will wash away into the Gulf of California.

My advise, don’t let Saint Al tell you that somehow you are a ,“bad-bad human”.
