I've seen that posted several times on climate alarmist websites over the years. It's a simplistic and arrogant response meant to appear clever and thoughtful. It presents black-and-white conclusions from the alarmist standpoint and presents them as fact without definition. For instance, what if GW is real and we do nothing and the planet adjusts, flourishes and we as a species advance. Since this has already occurred at least once that we know of (950-1250) and the chart's assumption has no historical basis, it seems odd to arbitrarily choose the opposite consequence.
