There's a slight misconception here, there's a longer lag time between CO2 release and its effect on warming.

What I'm saying is that we've not even begun to see the worst effects of what we've already put into the atmosphere.

Next year is already forecast to be much worse. Mostly due to El Niño making things even worse.

Yup, CO2 stays in the athmosphere for centuries. We only feel the start of the warming right now and it is not about to level off even if we stopped with all emissions tomorrow.

Agreed. This year's spike is due to the banning of sulfur-based emissions from shipping vessels in the pacific. Sulfur emissions only last about 2 weeks in the atmosphere before being rained out, but they contribute significantly to the aerosol cooling effect.

Nah I just read on Fox News that the 1930s were hotter, the 1970s were colder than normal and were now just returning to normal.

So… Uncle Rupert says we’re good. Nothing to see here, folks.

It's time people from the north start giving climate immigration visas.

Climate change is showing the effects a lot more now.
