I like the Spinal Tap reference!
Definitely a classic. Follows closely what’s in the academic literature
(note that this graph changes x-scale for the past 1000 years)
Some days ago a close one whom I usually agree with politically said “climate has always had variations” and “they can’t guess the weather correctly for next week, so how can they predict it for in 50 years”. I’ll send them this cartoon tonight I think.
I think I remember seeing this 5-6 years ago and think we’re past the “best case” senario.
Best case is out for sure. Worst case is also looking unlikely thankfully. Probably we’re in for a rough ride but not end of civilization level event. Though that’s still possible which is concerning. Normally you’d think good governance would keep the probability of world-ending catastrophes extremely low. So while those things may be unlikely, they’re still way too possible for us to get comfortable.
“Last North American Pokemon goes instinct” - had a good chuckle at that.
Seriously though, humanity should get it’s head screwed on straight. This is going way too fast for evolution to cope with.
