Summary

ANDRILL, a scientific project launched to detail climate change after a 200 meter-thick ice shelf collapsed into the ocean off the Antarctic Peninsula in 2002, is explored, including footage and interviews with scientific experts.

Main Argument:
Due to human's mass CO2 producing, causing green house effect, causing global warming... the anartica ice is melting, sea level is rising and cities will be covered by water...

Evidence:
Earth has been through numerous times of global warming, ice melting and rising sea level without human intervention, because either life we know of does not exist or life we know of had not evolved to Homo Sapein yet.

Stupid counter argument by me:
Past global warmings were caused by Aliens' mass CO2 producing, causing green house effect, causing global warming... the anartica ice was melting multiple times, sea level was rising multiple times and aliens civilizations were covered by water multiple times...

So we need to look for Aliens who had been causing earth's past mass CO2 producing, causing green house effect, causing global warming to justify blaming homo sapein's current mass CO2 producing, causing green house effect, causing global warming.

Or we don't have any fxxking idea what causes/caused global warming and stop making bloody stupid blaming games.

Some possible causes of prior global warming events: Earth's position in relation to the sun, volcanic/seismic activity, meteor/comet activity, and the explosion of various biodiversity.

Yes, the earth warmed up and cooled down several times before but this process occurred in THOUSANDS and MILLIONS of YEARS moron. Not 3 Celsius degrees in 200 years as it's happening today. Why is so difficult to grasp this simple concept? At what period!!!!

And that was not just happening just because of CO2. There are other factors that may cause warm up and cool down. CO2 is the main reason of today's change, not past.
