most of the models and their interpretations are very very very conservative.
most climatologists have, as of lately, stated that it's going to be much worse.
many have stated that climatologists in the past, didn't either tell the full truth or held back the really dire information out of fear that they would be called "alarmists" or worse "liars".
it's going to be, sooner than you think, a hell of a lot worse than you think. And very soon.
once upon a time, the mission was to keep the temps from rising past 2 degrees. Now, that's the accepted level by which we can expect temps to rise. The mission now is to keep the temps from rising past, wait for it, 4 degrees.
there was actual hope, that things could be reigned in, but now that the orange fluffer is in office, all bets are off. We are living at a very crucitial point in time regarding climate. what we do, right now, this very moment, and for the next 5 years, determines the outcome for the rest of the century. Thank about how fucked we are.
All models suggest that 4 degrees is a civilization, as we know it, ender.
people won't be gone, but there will be a hell of a lot less of us.
