The word "everything" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. Of course we don't know everything, but we certainly know enough to warrant extreme pessimism.
Namely:
- we know a mechanism that causes global warming, which is empirically proven and theoretically backed.
- multiple scenarios of positive feedback loops that result in rapid warming
- very few ideas even for positive feedback loops that result in cooling
- little to no demonstrated political will to act decisively.
Seems to me like we know a lot!
