    i still think people vastly undersestimate the severity. I think most people don’t know how tipping points work and what the actual reasons are to call this a climate emergency.

    so i assume most people upvoting the above post would think of examples of this emergency in recent weather extremes but not of how some tipping points might be tipp over and result in a feedback loop. and these are two vastly different things.

      like, it is a much more severe emergency when you have only maybe 10-20 years to react and radically change things until you can’t stop feedback loops. 10-20 years is very short in todays world
