That depends where you stand. CO2 means more flora, as any 5th-grade biology teacher will tell you.

The real place to look for climate change is water movement: rainfall, sea levels, ocean temperature, river levels, humidity, etc.

And, there are redundancies built into the system, such as radiation-consuming and hydrocarbon-consuming bacteria that thrive well and balance out our “destruction”.

Yeah, you get the idea. Things can be always true, but also where we see them wrong. The Sheep in the Field thought experiment shows it clearly.

That really depends on which philosophy you subscribe to.

The TL;DR is that existential and post-modern philosophy say it’s varying degrees of relative, while everything anyone said before ~1800 was saying that facts were immutable.

One fact I can glean is that the data itself may be real (e.g., the wavelengths of light that hit your eyeballs) but the perception is a composite illusion of our mind (e.g., the fact that you just saw a kitty).

You’re forgetting the future stages:

• holy crap! im autistic
• hey everyone, im autistic
• okay, i guess it just explains everything
• nobody seems to care that much
• alright, i’ll go find a good-paying tech/accounting/science job now
• proud to be ASD, if anyone cares
