They've never had the amount of data, the power of modern science, and computer modeling to show how it plays out, to back up the claims before.

but modern humans have better technology to possibly prevent, mitigate, and or delay crisis

The current estimates take that into account. Continually claiming "technology will solve it" eventually fails to basic laws of physics, and cannot be the solution to every problem.

> That's the clear implication from what you wrote It is absolutely NOT the clear implication from what I wrote. But while we're on the subject, do you have any theories as to why the people who wring their hands about the dire emergency that AGW supposedly is, never seem to call out rich, left-wing celebrities or rich left-wing tech moguls for their planet-destroying lifestyles?

I can easily answer that question: some do, but you don't listen to them. Some don't because they understood you don't care about them doing so. You're not interested in why they do or don't do it, in fact. You're merely interested in making a whataboutist point.
