and when we hit that first summer of insanity (this years was just a preview), the willfully ignorant will scream, "why weren't we told that this would happen???!!??!"

we are so far down the climate change hole, it scares the living shit out of me.

two things on the near horizon that worry that crap out of me. the ice shelf in front of the Thwaites and Pine glaciers in the Antarctica collapsing. (I wonder of the US gov and military have a contingency plan for massive migration)That's predicted to collapse within 5 years.

and the acidification of the oceans to such a point that all the coral reefs world wide collapse. That's predicted within 10 years.

this is on top of the increasing temps.
