  2. We’re basically already there as there is a large lag effect in the climate and global warming situation. However, in this debate I do wish people would stop talking about ‘climate change’. The climate has been ‘changing’ for about 4 billion years when this 3rd rock from the sun emerged. The real issue is ‘global warming’, and how much humankind is complicit in this warming. That the planet is warming, and warming rather alarmingly rapidly, is indubitable. What’s not quite as indubitable is how much human activity is contributing to this. On balance, having looked at the evidence, I happen to think that humans are significantly contributing to global warming through fossil fuel burning. Given this, it makes utter sense to phase out fossil fuels. With this caveat: we must do it sensibly. They will be needed for some time to come as the transition to renewables is made. Who knows? Given that we are currently in an inter-glacial period, 500 years down the line when we have stopped using fossil fuels, the planet might start a rapid cooling trend leading to that ever-promised next Ice Age, and there might be a desperate clamour to start burning fossil fuels as quickly as possible!

  7. @Mvp Roster Yeah, and if something can be done to control it (ie. not continuing to spew out millions of tons of fossil fuels), not just “unlucky”, but criminally negligent as temporary custodians of our planet. Ultimately though, we will just be shooting ourselves in the foot, as nothing we do to this planet (in the extreme long-run) will bother it. After all, there are trillions and trillions of other planets, and I think that this fact unconsciously feeds into many people’s seeming insouciance about the fate of Earth. It’s somehow disposable. In a way, it is, but if we humans bother it too much, it will just shrug us off like a bad case of fleas. We will be disposed of and Earth will spin on its merry way through the starry heavens.

  9.  @jamesmorrow1646  Oh, I know. I was referring more to just seeing how hot this planet will eventually become. Ty anyway.👍
