    This is nothing new though. Climate Scientist have ALWAYS been fearing a runaway effect. It has a wiki page and all. The author isn’t wrong, but it’s click bait. It’s not telling us anything new.

      I think the difference is that, at least when I took a class on this (coincidentally about 15 years ago), we talked a lot about how there was likely to be a runaway effect. This article is saying that the climate measurements from the last 15 years provide evidence that the predicted runaway effect is, in fact, happening.

        I would like to buy 50 years time please 🥺, if people can wage war, build monuments, AI and trains all in under 30 years then we still have some what a slim chance of working through some of the climate change problems without committing mass suicide of some sort
