Something tells me the global scientific community is not shaking in its boots because of these outbursts.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that there should be an expectation for increasing temperatures when our present temperature is still 2C below the peak temperature of previous interglacial cycles.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that there should be an experiment that quantified the radiative forcing of CO2 increasing from 300 ppm to 420 ppm.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that we should understand the drivers for the planet transitioning from a greenhouse planet to an icehouse planet.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that we should understand why the southern hemisphere has a higher temperature threshold for extensive continental glaciation than the northern hemisphere does.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that we should understand why the warmest global temperatures occur when the northern hemisphere receives the most sunshine.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that we should understand why the coldest average temperatures occur when the northern hemisphere receives the least sun light.

It's odd that you think it is an outburst that we should understand why the planet experienced increased climate fluctuations and environmental uncertainty after it transitioned from a greenhouse world to an icehouse world.

It's odd because these are climate related phenomenon that we should be studying to understand future climate changes. But it seems that you want to skip the investigation and go straight to computer modeling without ever testing anything. That's not how science works. Shame on you.
