    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.

          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
