    I think at least 60% of people would beg to differ.

    Also, where do your data from? We’re seeing the impacts right now and although we still have a chance of minimising the impact we’re still emitting GHG at dangerous rates.

      As a climate activist, my data comes largely from the NOAA/EPA as well as independent think-tanks.

      The poster you’re responding to is correct.

              I’m not downplaying consequences, but being accurate about timelines.

              Most serious impacts of climate change that is already in-process won’t be felt til 2100+. We’ll hit 1.5C by 2030 and 2C by 2050, but that’s nowhere near catastrophic - that comes if we continue to not do things because the changes are slow.

              Not understanding the timeline is what feeds into climate denialism. It’s like their #1 talking point

              Next time you’re confused just ask for clarity.
