> Earth's cyclical climate will kill us anyway

Why? The reason climate change is dangerous is not because it'll get too hot or cold for us, but because the temperature is changing too fast. It's the gradient that's the problem.

Vast swaths of North America have been under water or covered in ice sheets at various points in the Earth's history, including the time when humans lived.

I think it's fair to say that we are not well adapted to live under water or ice, yet both of those are definitely coming. Someday.

Okay, so updated:

> Perhaps nuclear advocates haven't considered [that if we can slow down climate change then we'll have to make some steady societal changes over the next few thousand years (instead of over a much smaller time-frame) to adapt to the Earth's natural climate changes]

Not to be rude, but you're wasting peoples' time when you don't even follow your own line of thinking in your comments. You've made quite a few comments on this post that don't really contribute to the discussion.
