There is increasing evidence that global warming has accelerated over the past 15 years rather than continued at a gradual, steady pace.

Positive feedback loops, how do they work?
We've known about this for decades. An example: heating causes permafrost to melt releasing CO2 and methane, which cause more heat to be trapped, which melts more permafrost, which releases more green house gasses, etc.
Positive feedback loops tend to be very unstable, and can lead to runaway situations.
Can't wait for all those ice caps to go away and stop reflecting all the heat that they do reflect being white. It'll just add to it.
And when the last ice is gone we will finally have revenge for the Titanic
Hey I found time to laugh in between my doomsday crying.
Thanks. :)
Not if blackhat has anything to say about it: https://xkcd.com/2829/
Looks like it might be a good idea to paint sections of buildings black and white, colour coded for heating lol
We actually paint the top of some helicopters to make the ride cooler for everyone inside.
Worse, when that influx of arctic water shuts down the North Atlantic current and others that cycle heat and cold throughout the world. That will be very bad for quite a lot of us.
Can't wait until we turn the planet into Venus 2.0
Ive read somewhere that living in the clouds is in theory still possible. :)
I'd like to live on the ground with the grass and the trees, thanks
"go touch grass" will be the new "kill yourself" in a century 😂
People are really bad at conceptualizing exponential change from feedback. Our brains expect incremental change. I think that's one of the reasons people can't know accept what is happening.
"I know things are changing, but it's only a bit each day, and it can go like that for years and it won't be that bad."
