Given that the climate has been changing naturally throughout Earth’s long history, why should you care about modern climate change? Select all that apply: a.because the current rate of warming is much faster than natural temperature changes of the past b.because the magnitude of the potential temperature increase is geologically larger (as large as an ice age-interglacial transition) c.because human civilization has adapted to pre-industrial climate conditions and assumed they would not change significantly d.although a few degrees Celsius of warming is not an issue, in the future we could experience more extreme temperature increases
