Decades from now, people will pay trillions of dollars every year to get back to the climate that we have today.
@davidho ...if they still are alive, what is all but sure.
@davidho if only money can restore the climate! Our climate is a complex system. Once it departs from the current norm, we don't know where the system will eventually stabilize.
This will be the coldest summer for the rest of our lives.
And our children's.
And theirs, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.
IF we redoubled our efforts to redress Anthropogenic Global Climate Change tomorrow, and again the next day, and again the next day etc, their children miiiight be the first generation to see some improvements.
It took us about 200 years to really fk up this planet. It's going to take us a LOT longer to UN fk it.
America has decided it would rather keep fking it up, but harder.
@davidho
No. They will most likely (extrapolating the current timeline) spent trillions on fighting back the refugees from the then inhabitable equator…
@davidho And usually I would grab a screenshot from NOAA but now I can't because I don't trust Trump not to meddle with it.
@davidho those trillions will be worth nothing by then.
@davidho
...or they won't. At which point in my virtual world, we'd all get a big pop-up saying "Gamer over; No replay".
