Restating some obvious facts about the current climate, like the increase of CO$_2$ concentration in the air, leaves out an interesting confounding factor around humanities insatiable desire for carbon products.
We don’t need need to drill the arctic ice or measure the spectral radiance to see the harmful effect of disturbing the balance of gases in the atmosphere. However, there are only a few moments in humanities recent history when the normal order is disturbed, and we can see the more deeply what are the gears of the global system (we’ll limit ourselves to climate for now).
