I hope I don’t know what I’m talking about because if this is right, it seems like we are heading for catastrophe. We’ve got around 2-3 years until the jet stream stops, there are no ice caps, and every plant and animal in our food chain that can’t find shelter dies. As a fun exercise, try doing the math on how much energy it takes to heat the worlds oceans by 1C. We can’t dissipate that heat, so it will keep increasing until another factor tips the balance. That event horizon is probably out past the end of human civilization unless we get really, really clever and quick, really soon now.
