re: #131 LudwigVanQuixote

There is one other thing about this that most people are too stupid too get. Once it hits, there is no easy fix and no way to quickly turn it around again.

We have already purchased a very hard future for the next several centuries even if we stopped polluting today. Climate will continue to get worse for the next century no matter what because of what we have already put up there. But there is a major difference between that and where we are headed right now - because we didn’t stop polluting. Very hard can be borne. The horrors of where this bottoms out - and will stay for centuries - on our present course are a new dark ages.

You think the human race will last for another few centuries? You optimist, you.
