Everyone who’s been listening knows we’re royally screwed. Things are not changing the way they should, so, rough times are ahead of us. It was nice while it lasted. Take care, people.

At least I’ll finally get to win the argument with my dad about if climate change is real or not.

If he is in 2023 still arguing it, then he is type of guy that It will take only two days of snow until he calls you to ask where „your global warming is now“.

Things are changing. It just takes time. We're pretty much at peak carbon by all indications.

Nice attempt at distracting from the issue - the tail effects from the GHGs already emitted is enough to change life as we know it.

CO2 is also not the end-all-be-all of climate change - we have huge methane emissions coming from melting permafrost, oceans, and icebergs that are 80-87x as damaging (ton-for-ton) than CO2.
