It's strange it was so low during the industrial revolution.

It does seem to be stabilising recently though.

Make the most of the hot weather while we have it.

This issue will be solved by science and innovation not panicking or self harming (unless you have a private jet).

This issue will be solved by science and innovation

The time to have solved it with science and innovation was fifty fucking years ago, in the 1970s. We've know about the role of CO2 and climate change since the fucking 19th fucking century.

Instead, thanks to the cunting fossil fuel companies and their deliberate, knowing campaign of disinformation to protect their profits, and the useful idiots who stuck their heads in the sand and swallowed the obvious and transparently self-serving lies, we've pissed away half a century of opportunity. We've lost the chance to solve the problem without massive disruption to nations. We're now down to desperate harm minimization: what can we do now to reduce climate change from a total, utter cluster fuck civilization-ending catastrophe to a mere disaster?

And after another decade or so of inaction, even that chance will be gone.

Have you actually read the IPCC reports on the possible impacts of climate change?
