Ken,
I criticized an article which states "Earth is wobbling and days are getting longer — and humans are to blame". Your statements about "climate stability in the Holocene" are not relevant to the criticism. There was far more ice melting between 25,000 years ago and 15,000 years ago than there has been in the last 10.000 years. So, wobble effects, day length effects, etc. are not "unprecedented" at the levels we are seeing now. And, even what we are seeing now is not all due to human actions. (And, your graph really needs to go back about 3 million years - it doesn't even go back to the previous warm period - so there really isn't a comparison between "natural" and "human influenced" in it.)
What I criticized is the article writers' attempt at propaganda that is easily discredited. That just provides evidence for others who do not want to believe that humans have caused any of the changes we see actually happening. That is why I am saying that writing stuff like that is backfiring if the intent is to make people worry about climate change.
I also think that article writers who talk about "stopping" sea level rise are undermining their own efforts. They talk about effects that are too near-term for us to actually stop.
What I think we really need is some specifics about what near term changes are going to be, and how soon and how bad. If they can predict that, they will gain some credibility among the skeptics and nay-sayers.
I am personally dealing with sea level rise issues on property that I own and a nearby historic town. We are planning for it and executing the plans, rather than telling everybody to "save us" by changing their ways. We know that (1) the changes that will cause us severe damage will occur, no matter what the world's human population does now, and (2), the same flooding has happened several times before in the last few million years, anyway. The real issue for us is how fast it will be occurring.
Similar concepts would be useful for other climate change issues. Where will it get hotter, wetter, drier, etc, and how much and how fast. Those are harder to predict than sea level, because they are not averaged over the whole globe. Some places will get more habitable, and some less habitable.
Our real problem is our current population density. When such major changes happened before, humans were hunter-gatherers, not farmers and industrialists. We can't move around as easily as our long-ago ancestors could. Yes, we have the technology to move farther and faster, but we don't have any relatively uninhabited areas to move into, now. Large scale migration will cause wars.
Frankly, with the population density we have now, even another ice age would cause similar problems at the global level - people would need to move in massive numbers for that, too.
We even have problems with depletion of resources if the climate does not change at all. For instance, a lot of industrial scale farming that "feeds the world" with exports is drawing down groundwater supplies and is not indefinitely sustainable. And, as Jan Steinman keeps posting, we really don't have an inexhaustible supply fossil fuels, either.
Humans are clearly going to have to change to adapt. I am sorry to say that I don't see us doing so collectively in an intelligent manner. And, I expect the unintelligent manner will involve a major population crash with a lot of agony.
But, that doesn't mean we should all just give up and not try to be intelligent and get others to behave intelligently.
And, to be intelligent about the realities of our situation, I strongly suggest that the people who purport to inform us about science stop with the "click bait" titles and unrealistic slants to their articles.
