Just because it happens tomorrow doesn't mean we die tomorrow. It doesn't seem there's any mitigation strategy here. Even if we stop increasing warming, the current level of warming could still trigger it.
- ornornor 2y agoStill. I personally would rather have more time and a chance for the species to band together and mitigate than ending it all already. I think we can both agree a climate apocalypse won’t be a good time for anyone whenever it starts, and the more it warms up the worse the outcome.
- giantg2 2y agoAgain, there is no feasible mitigation for this specific issue at this point, and it's not like life will end. Yes, major changes will happen. Yes, reducing temperature would be good and higher temperatures are worse. But perhaps preventing this specific event is worse ad it can act to re-establish norther sea ice and begin balancing the climate again. Sure, on the timescale of your life it's bad, but on the timescale of the species/planet it may actually be good.
