    We’re like a bunch of ignorant children.

    We set fire to the living room because we did something stupid. Now we’re in the kitchen and won’t tell our parents about the fire and even try to distract them from going into the living room to avoid dealing with the problem. We’ll ignore it as long as possible.

    We won’t realize how big of a problem it is until the whole house burns down.

      to be clear, our parents set fire to the living room, and are the ones trying to distract the children from the problem.

      Adults aren’t the authority here, they are the problem. the youth of the the world overwhelmingly want to address this issue.

        Agreed … I was just generalizing but your interpretation sounds more apt than mine.

    I had to correct someone that got a bunch of upvotes about this the other day.

    These increases are permanent. They’re not going to average out at +2 C then peter back down.
