I don't think 800,000 years is that long on the geological time scale. (Not that I don't think global warming is a big deal etc etc)


It's not but it's also not much less time than what we consider "humans" to have been around and we're talking about co2 in the atmosphere in the context of whether humans will be fine or not.

Of course, for earth it doesn't matter at all.
