Has there ever been climate research which ends with “this problem is not as severe as we thought it was” or do advancements in knowledge always result in louder alarm bells? Asking for a friend.
Countless civilisations have come & gone for various reasons & there is no reason to suppose that when we act so arrogantly & antithettically 2our
own best interests against our natural, supporting envir't that we should survive! The Horsemen are riding! 😳
If we stabilise methane and co2 at current levels, my impression was that the co2 creates far more warming per year than the methane, is that right? (IIRC, methane is more potent, but a lot less of it in the atmosphere.)
