13 years ago, a sign was installed at a glacier in #nz, showing changes in the size of the glacier over time. At the end is a photoshopped version, speculating how it will look in 2100.
Want to guess how it looks in 2023 compared to the prediction for 2100?
I think this thread perfectly sums up the problem all along, that the warnings and predictions were always too tame, always too far in the future, always too easy to ignore. Relax, plenty of time to fix it.
Even as I’m typing this, an energy ad just came on TV proudly committing to net zero by 2040. Not stopping now. Not even in five years. Nearly two decades from now. No rush.
