We had time 20 years ago. We no longer have time.
Yep, it's the reason I don't have kids. It feels selfish to have something for myself that will spend most of its life suffering.
It all depends on where the tipping points are, and there’s still a lot of uncertainty. If we can stop making things worse before we hit major irreversible changes to our environment, we can eke it out
Permafrost is already melting in alarming amounts. We'd probably have to take drastic action immediately. I don't mean in a few years or a decade. Now like, this year. But that's not going to happen.
Thanks a lot: you made me look it up. The Wikipedia article has more potential climate tipping than I was aware of, and near the beginning they talk about fears of a tipping point cascade. I think that’s the end of my internet tonight
