There is a question which has become overly political as to whether it is changing much faster than whatever normal would be due to human activity.

The more important question, so me, is whether we have the realistic means to do anything substantive about that in time.

Most folks with strong opinions can't write out a simple paragraph accurately describing the issue.

Trees are an approach but only fast growing forests sequester carbon, for a time.  A mature forest is nearly carbon neutral because trees die and then decay.

The oceans are the major carbon sink, literally.  That is an aspect that I would guess is VERY difficult to model.
