    As a climate activist, my data comes largely from the NOAA/EPA as well as independent think-tanks.

    The poster you’re responding to is correct.

        Pretty sure as a literal climate lobbyist, I know more about this than you

            I did not say I am in a think tank. I said we use some think tank knowledge (generally for highly localized policy advocation), while relying on world standards for climate studies

            If you have an issue with the world’s chosen standards, perhaps write to the UN or your country’s UN ambassador.

                I’m not the one trying to start arguments about climate science

                    Actually it’s a solid sign that I work from home and have lots of downtime between meetings, and when I’m sitting in airports traveling for work

                    You have fun too.

        You don’t know what astroturfing is

          Pretending to be a climate activist on the internet while down playing the consequences and severity of climate change? Smells like astroturfing to me. If you’re not doing it for a pay cheque then I worry for your mental health.

            I’m not downplaying consequences, but being accurate about timelines.

            Most serious impacts of climate change that is already in-process won’t be felt til 2100+. We’ll hit 1.5C by 2030 and 2C by 2050, but that’s nowhere near catastrophic - that comes if we continue to not do things because the changes are slow.

            Not understanding the timeline is what feeds into climate denialism. It’s like their #1 talking point

            Next time you’re confused just ask for clarity.

              won’t be felt til 2100+.

              We’re already feeling serious impacts, right now, in 2023. This statement just makes you seem incompetent. I hope for your sake you’re just a bad actor.

                You’re either dramatically overestimating the current situation or vastly underestimating how serious things will actually get
