Man, I’ve seen so many articles talking about how shit’s way worse than climate projections because we keep finding new variables that we didn’t account for.
We’ve unleashed so many positive feedback loops, I’m not convinced that even if we all got thanos-snapped out of existence RIGHT NOW, full stop to pollution and such… Earth would still be fucked - albeit more slowly - because of those feedback loops.
Yep. The time when cutting emissions could have prevented wide-spread climate change suffering was probably in the 90s.
And here’s my prediction for the future: Pretty soon a wealthy nation will decide it has no choice but to engage in global scale climate engineering. And it will do so still missing a shit-ton of those variables we aren’t accounting for. At that point it’s probably a coin flip as to whether it will make things better or worse.
This is most likey the correct scenario. We may as well just continue with businesses as usual so we can get it over with. These pretend debates we’re having about halting it are a joke at this point. It’s pretty clear that greed and delusional denial will ultimately be the end of our civilisation.
