"Earth is in the midst of abrupt, irreversible climate change. There, was that so difficult?" Yeah, apparently it IS difficult to say, write about, or even think this - although I don't know why! It's all just so exhausting at times... But thank you, Guy, for keeping us all properly informed.

Easy for you to say, Mez. 😉 Not so easy for paid climate scientists, media personalities, and government officials. One more item over which we have no control.

Guy and I have been hammering away together, for over a decade about "Feedback Loops" being multiplicative. As Albert Bartlett once wrote: "The Greatest Shortcoming of the Human Race is our Inability to Truly Understand the Exponential Function".

We've also repeatedly brought up the Aerosol Masking Effect! What Dr James E Hansen called our "Faustian Bargain!"

Another person concerned about feedback loops is Sam Carana from the Arctic News Blog.

We ALL must be concerned with self-reinforcing feedback loops. Too little, too late at this point. Perhaps the days of being concerned are behind us. Now, it’s time to live fully.

Thank you for your informed comment, as always. Thanks, too, for restacking my post.
