Oceans rose 400 feet in past 20,000 year. We have been exiting an ice age.

Climate change will continue regardless of people. Only possible change is the rate.

Of course it will reverse course eventually and the ice sheets will be back.

The rate is the problem. No one is proposing massive, economy remaking, changes because of the planets nature ebb and flow. It's because the rate of warming we are causing is absolutely terrifying when you compare it to what would be expected naturally.

And you're evidence of this is...? I don't see where you'd get it from considering current trends are so ridiculously out of whack from the natural record there isn't any analogue to compare.
