    We’re actually doing enough that the acceleration has started to slow. There’s some indications that emissions are going to start dropping in the next few years, but we’re still decades from the point where concentrations stop rising.

        We might limit the damage enough to retain a civilization-supporting planet

          I’m all for doing everything we can, but I think we may have to scale down what we mean by civilization at the point of acceleration we’re already at, we need to start prioritizing the things from this period that are useful and worth preserving. Because the way we currently live is coming to a close whether we like it or not unless someone invents some Star Trek shit
