Oh poppycock. The planet does not think. It does not try. It does not attempt.

This planet is no more in a normal state of affairs 15 degrees warmer than it is 15 degrees cooler.

Your political views do not trump the scientific reality that there is far more CO2 in the air than before and that its rise, and the temperature rise correspond with human use of fossil fuels.
