> As an aside, I don’t get all the people loudly expressing being depressed about the graphs and whatever. This is in line with predictions. People knew that was going to happen. It’s pretty useless to bemoan things which are unavoidable. One tweet said he wasn't so much depressed about this happening, but about people doing nothing to stop it. We've known this for over century, have had political debates about it for 3 decades, have made agreements to reduce our carbon emissions, but our carbon output keeps growing, and temperatures keep rising, and new coal power plants keep getting built. We should have banned coal and oil power plants 2 decades ago. We should be investing only in emission-free power plants. We should have made fossil fuels too expensive to use for any purpose for which there are viable alternatives. We haven't done those things, and we're not going to do them any time soon, so these graphs will continue to get even worse in the future. That's what's depressing.
