relevant bit (I think, I didn’t read the entire thing):
And while many experts have been cautious about acknowledging it, there is increasing evidence that global warming has accelerated over the past 15 years rather than continued at a gradual, steady pace. That acceleration means that the effects of climate change we are already seeing — extreme heat waves, wildfires, rainfall and sea level rise — will only grow more severe in the coming years.
This is nothing new though. Climate Scientist have ALWAYS been fearing a runaway effect. It has a wiki page and all. The author isn’t wrong, but it’s click bait. It’s not telling us anything new.
I think the difference is that, at least when I took a class on this (coincidentally about 15 years ago), we talked a lot about how there was likely to be a runaway effect. This article is saying that the climate measurements from the last 15 years provide evidence that the predicted runaway effect is, in fact, happening.
I would like to buy 50 years time please 🥺, if people can wage war, build monuments, AI and trains all in under 30 years then we still have some what a slim chance of working through some of the climate change problems without committing mass suicide of some sort
I thought we knew this? I remember hearing that we’re just now feeling the effects of greenhouse gas emissions from the 80s, and emissions have drastically increased since then.

Why mass suicide when we can mass guillotine the billionaires instead?
It may be click bait, but given the topic and urgency, I want as many unique clicks as it can get.
All that’s going to do is burn the credibility of the author.
Regardless, no one is going to read this and suddenly change their mind, because we don’t have an education problem, we have a culture problem.
You’re right. Nothing will work and we should stop trying.

Good. Burn this mother fucker DOWN. This is what you wanted people. Soak it in, bitches.
