      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.
