Not looking for a political argument. I need facts. I am in no way a climate change denier, but I had a conversation with someone who told me the average increase is only 2°F over the past 100 years. That doesn’t seem like a lot and would support the argument that the climate goes through waves of changes naturally over time.
I’m going to run into him tomorrow and I need some ammo to support the climate change argument. Is it the rate of change that’s increasing that makes it dangerous? Is 2° enough to cause a lot of polar ice caps to melt? I need some facts to counter his. Thanks!
Edit: spelling

I’m not an expert in complexity theory but small changes in complex, interconnected systems, can lead to massive chain reactions that don’t scale linearly. There are many systems where a small incremental increase in the input leads to exponential increases in the output.
Small changes in micro environments can lead to large macro changes. Many systems behave this way.
