You assume it will get better when we stop burning fuel but many things dont just get better when you stop doing what is bad. A lot of things have a point of no return, where you can’t just undo all the damage that has been done
I’m not assuming, that assumption is rooted in science. I’m also not saying things will get better. What I am saying is that the climate will stabilize at whatever new normal there is with the amount of carbon in the carbon life cycle, that means whatever extremes exist at that point, will continue to exist.
Methane is very potent, and will cause issues for sure. You’re absolutely right about that. But it also has a much shorter half life than carbon does, so it doesn’t have the same kind of long term effects as carbon does.
Does science say when things will stabilise after we stop using coal and oil? I bet it’s not immediate. I bet it will take a lot longer than many think if not hundreds of years just to stabilise into something that maybe isn’t even liveable.
Yes, something like a hundred years or so before it stabilizes. I forget what the models are saying, bcz I don’t do climate science, my fiance does, so I usually ask her these queations.

mmmnope. Heard of the clathrate bomb?
There is a fuckton of methane locked in permafrost soils.
Once they start to melt, you get a chain reaction.

It has a much shorter half life but what does it degrade into?
