    We’ve gone too far. We can’t stop this, we can only stop making it worse and learn to adapt to a changing world climate. The natural global processes of the planet have been altered and they are in the process and chaos of shifting into new normals. How long will it take to stabilize? No one knows. This kinda thing has happened to the planet before, but it happens to be quite catastrophic to the life living on it when it does. The jet stream is collapsing and major ocean currents are shifting. We have absolutely no control over these things and it’s already started. Everything on the planet is connected to these natural processes. It’s why things were the way they were, climate wise. Not anymore!

      We have absolutely no control

      We absolutely do, that’s a doomer narrative that is extremely useful for those invested in making it worse.

      Science suggests we face a reversible issue.

        You can control the jet stream? Dope!! I thought it had to do with ocean temperatures and how the ocean is mostly fucked in that sense and hence everything has gone haywire. We can’t control major air currents dude, they just do what they do because they do. I’m not dooming anything. We have been at idle too long, the goals are no longer reachable that would stop this, it needed to be done decades ago and not sure it was ever even possible then.

        What science suggests it’s reversible? We can’t cool the ocean, we can’t take chemicals out of the ozone layer. We can slowly reverse it back to something, or allow it to stabilize by not drive the causes further into the red, but there is no going back. Sorry. Ship has sailed. That parrot is past tense!

          Sure I can’t. But limiting the emissions can come to a point when world becomes carbon-negative. This would cool the oceans and the atmosphere, changing the currents yet again. Indeed, the interactions are more complex, and it won’t reverse in a complete sense, but it will get better.
