We are the next to the last generation. According to the EU's C3S, our global ave. temp is increasing 0.214 degC annually on ave. over the 1991-2020 baseline, so 2 degC by 2027, 3 degC by 2032, and a 1 degC increase (at least) every five years from now on. So, any child unfortunate enough to be born today will celebrate (?) their 23rd BD in an unliveable world of 6 degC and rue the day of their birth, while hating their clueless, selfish, willfully ignorant parents. David's soft sell is no longer meaningful.
@@LonePenStudio Oh, contrare, I believe they have and we've passed many, if not all, of the tipping points. We are pouring the heat equivalent of 20 Hiroshima nuclear bomb blasts per second into the environment, where each releases 63 trillion BTUs. I am unable to find the exact ratio of waste heat from fossil fuel burning, the 3,000 BTUs per day per human, the BTUs per domestic animal, and the heat contributed by the Greenhouse effect. In any case, it's enough to melt 1.2 trillion tons of global ice/yr., 3.3 billion tons/d.; heat 321 million cubic miles of oceans to 70+degF; and drive 1 trillion tons of water vapor into the atmosphere, where it stays for no more than 10d. Feedback loops enough for ya?

Unfortunately! The danger is clear, obvious and deadly. And the positive feedback loops have not even kicked in, yet.

Then it is even worse. Thank you for clarifying this!
