I have to say I was thinking to myself this person identified as a geologist, so an event that started 200 years ago probably isn’t a major concern. In the sense of geologic timescales I mean.

Up thread, there seems to be a question about human civilizations being erased by the ice.

A billion years ago.

And there was a polite reply, from said geologist, not a comment about timescales.
