re: #451 Obdicut

Can you explain your bizarre rationale that a linear increase in temperature is just fine?

It’s not my rationale; it’s theirs. Their predictions (e.g., much of Florida under water) they are not about a few millimeters of sea level rise per year. When you look at the charts, they show curvature upward. Tipping points are their key to the climate change being irreversible. If it’s just linear then we can slow it down or reverse it by slowing down or reversing CO2 release.

But with the tipping points, “we only have a few more years” (which they’ve been saving for far too long), “we must act now,” etc.
