I meant more of the dictionary version of catastrophic. Sorry if it normally has or implies different meaning when talking about climate change.

[–] Ilandar@aussie.zone 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

The dictionary definition doesn't imply we all die either.

O, then what does the equal equal thing mean? Yea I thought major climate catastrophe was unavoidable even with a complete and immediate change by the entire world. Not that everyone would die in a climate apocalypse.

It's how people commonly type "does not equal" when they don't have quick access to the not equal symbol. Your top level comment seemed to be contesting the meme, which claimed we still have 20 years to change before we all die. I was saying that 20 years before we all die is not the same as 20 years before a climate catastrophe.

Got cha got cha. Thanks. For some reason I thought it meant "about the same".
