    Hey if a bunch of scientists say otherwise then, yah, they know better. But I thought we were basically beyond preventing catastrophic climate disaster?

    Also this is the first I’m seeing the big Gritty brain meme format and I love it!

        Catastrophic means basically we have to move farmland and we have to surround some cities with dikes as they’ll now be under sea level.

        We’re facing ecosystem collapses but that’s from overfishing and more direct habitat destruction, not so much from climate change.

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

      Climate change is not an existential threat. The existential threat is added by science journalism.

      Climate change is gonna make life harder, but not kill humanity.
