    I’ll just share the first line:

    Global heating could become “catastrophic” for humanity if temperature rises are worse than many predict or cause cascades of events we have yet to consider, or indeed both.

    Definition of Catastrophic adjective US  /ˌkæt̬.əˈstrɑː.fɪk/ UK /ˌkæt.əˈstrɒf.ɪk/: causing sudden and very great harm or destruction: An unchecked increase in the use of fossil fuels could have catastrophic results for the planet.

    It’s hilarious that the example for the definition of the word Catastrophic is also proving you wrong.

    Or are you trying to argue that if it doesn’t happen at exactly the end of the century that the destruction of our species doesn’t matter?

    Here was your original statement:

    Also, greenhouse gases are primarily emitted into the lower atmosphere, not the stratosphere

    Your own source states that the stratosphere is part of the lower atmosphere. Thanks for proving my point for me and again showing everyone that you either don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re a fossil fuel shill spreading their misinformation trying to downplay climate change.

Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!


How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it’s something that’s widely accepted, give it an arrow down.



Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)
  • If your post is a “General” unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
  • If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].


Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let’s make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.


2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others’ opinions.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.


5. No trolling.

This shouldn’t need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.


6. Defend your opinion

This is a bit of a mix of rules 4 and 5 to help foster higher quality posts. You are expected to defend your unpopular opinion in the post body. We don’t expect a whole manifesto (please, no manifestos), but you should at least provide some details as to why you hold the position you do.
