All I can take from this comment is there are several likelihood thresholds and an array of future Celsius values which can be combined to generate arbitrarily

All I can take from this comment is there are several likelihood thresholds and an array of future Celsius values which can be combined to generate arbitrarily many “final warnings”. Sigh.

We're terribly sorry the reality is a bit more complex and doesn't conform to your mental model of an "if then" statement.

  If you read my original comment more closely you’ll see I have no trouble with the complexity of the reality of climate change, and what I am taking issue with is the annoying method of communication of predictions about that reality, communication that resembles nothing so much as systematized crying wolf. I’m not even asking for it to stop, or threatening to spitefully disbelieve in climate change because of it, I’m just asking for it to be served with a spoonful of kindness. I don’t have anything productive or polite to say about you misinterpreting my comment as climate denial and then mocking me for having a simplistic mental model.

I’m not even asking for it to stop, or threatening to spitefully disbelieve in climate change because of it, I’m just asking for it to be served with a spoonful of kindness. And this is extremely petty and ludicrous. Get past the communication methods and look at the core of the problem. If someone can't do that, then I have nothing to offer them but mockery. This is not directed at you personally (just in case you misinterpret my comment again)

      It’s not petty or ludicrous to ask for messaging about climate change to be slightly kinder, or to come with a bit of empathy for how exhausting the messaging is. It is petty and ludicrous to say that if someone is bothered by the messaging then they deserve nothing but mockery.
