Given this insight...

No, it is not 'simply change' since change is perpetual, it is the rate
at which this change occurs that is the issue.

And this issue is being muddled by: is it or is it not a result of human
activity. Which is a form addressing (fighting) the function: should some
humans change what they are now doing at the same rate as the change?

Why this is then cast as a concern of human extinction is really a matter
of the "I" POV in this chatty post.

For this "I" (aka me) the polar ice caps are the reference.

Science as religion fails here. No "Science tell us", Instead an ugly
truth, people in science, their work and data interpretation are
vulnerable to a larger process in which they must operate. Foremost being
the information process.
