    Problem is we’re on our way to reach a point where even if we stopped all our GHG emissions, just the melting of the ice caps and thawing of the permafrost will be enough to create a self sustaining global warming event.

      It’s ok. The planet right now is much cooler than it used to be.

        “It’s ok, the planet is cooler than it was when it would have been uninhabitable for humans.”

        Way to go 👍

        Literally our entire human civilization occurs during a stable climate. If the earth were hotter we’d probably never have reached 8 billion, or if we did it would have been through another way. This is going to be a rough ride, especially for the kids.
