If the climate is always changing over the history of the planet, why should we get worked up about global warming?
<|assistant|>
Global warming and climate change can have far-reaching and serious consequences if left unchecked. Although the climate changes over the course of time, the rate and scale of it today cannot be ignored. Some of the impacts of climate change include more extreme weather conditions, species extinction, and water scarcity, to name a few. As such, it's important for us to take action to slow global warming and its effects.
