    Not only that, but the risks of snowballing because of major ecological breakdowns like the Amazon, in massive forest fires like in Canada and the chance that the methane stored in permafrost could escape once it melts, means that we might be talking of going from 3C to 4C.

    Which is not fun.

      Oh my god. Do you think this could have a noticeable impact on the economy? I hope shareholders won’t be slightly inconvenienced in the short term. THAT is something we must avoid NO MATTER WHAT THE COST.

      (I mean, what have future generations ever done for US, huh? It’s their own fault if they’re not yet alive enough to stop us from burning their planet.)
