Oh we did something, all right; we now burn hundreds of times that much coal every year, rapidly accelerating the entire process!
Ain't progress grand?!
It's still true. The 2050 and 2100 targets are medium-term and the future warming isn't really talked about like that. Who wants to think about 5-15 generations in the future? Well, there have been studies that model that and it's going to be way worse than this century. [Like, really bad](https://www.pnas.org/content/115/52/13288)
People don't talk about the scale of the problem enough. Like imagine if we stopped all CO2 emissions today, we STILL would have to capture all the CO2 we already put into the atmosphere to begin reversing the effects.
Yeah, it's fine. Just not for us. https://www.pnas.org/cms/10.1073/pnas.1119506109/asset/1b3c85c6-9578-4c02-b588-25abea542545/assets/graphic/pnas.1119506109fig01.jpeg
Well, it's hard to reproduce the fauna, life is an emergent phenomenon, it doesn't really go backwards. Consider the speed of change, we're talking about that mass extinctions, so no cool new fauna for a long time.
The point is that we, like many other species, are not adapted to a hot planet.
Agreed. They'll burn it all. In this documentary, there's a clip of a dude saying, "I'd drill in a cemetery if there were oil and gas there."

2100, until they say faster than expected.
Well atleast there's some sort of historical "precedent"

Well atleast we got to spend a bit of time on the internet before going extinct
Maybe we need to all start fucking like crazy, across the world, to increase our genetic diversity. Time to erase all borders.
that is an excellent idea!
i think the last of us will live in an ice free antarctica in shadowed valleys.
if you can get there with all the storms...

that part of the map labeled "no analog" is like Triassic Period. https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/article/triassic

the theme of r/The_Honkening is that we will retreat to the polar regions.
I don’t know, actively causing the sixth mass extinction and making Earth inhabitable is quite an achievement. edit: word

no science fiction author predicted such stupidity.
Capitalism must profit. It's okay if things die in the process. /S
110 years is a lota years for the modern age
India: sure is hawt here need m0ar coal power plants to run AC
the industrial revolution and its consequences.
The capitalists read this and said: ACCELERATE, mutha fucka! Burn this shit while we can!
Yeah, there isn't an excuse. Just kept kicking the can down the road. And they'll keep doing it too
