A series of records on temperature, ocean heat, and Antarctic sea ice are “unprecedented”, some scientists say.

Unless everything stops right now. Literally. There’s nothing anyone can do to reverse it. All thresholds are long been crossed.
It does seem like we need a complete shutdown to deal with this. This current situation seems like an immediate emergency and not something we will deal with later down the track.
I think all we can try and do is what we can in out sphere of control and influence. Advice and tips are welcome!
Global warming will continue even with a complete shutdown
Yes it will, which is even more worrying but we have to do something. I think it’s going to have to be a joint carbon reduction and capture effort
We saw how well shutting down worked for a global pandemic. In the US, half the population took it as a declaration of literal war. We’re doomed.
It’s true, I don’t think you’d find consensus or cooperation with the idea, but we do seem to be at an impasse that we shouldn’t (but probably will) just ignore.
In the end of the day it boils down of how much of our convenience we are ready to trade off in favor of balance in nature. Means, who is ready to give up modern comforts like cars, smart-anything, animal farming, and whatever we think we need to battle greenhouse gas pump in the atmosphere, while giving up the “eat the rich” alibi we use to lullaby ourselves out of our responsibilities.
