"If this current 'engine' breaks down, there could be severe consequences, including more climate variability, with greater extremes in certain regions. "And accelerated global warming due to a reduction in the ocean's capacity to act as a carbon sink."

Which is it, climate change or are we back to global warming?

Yes, I am so dead tired of dying from global climate change. I wonder why anyone is still alive?

In the year 2525, if man is still alive, they will still be warning about climate change, because climate change never stops.

I read a novel decades ago about a mad man planning to blow up underwater cliffs and allow the Gulf Stream to go into the Arctic and melt the glaciers causing GLOBAL FLOODING.

Don’t remember the name.

And I’m sure a small group of experts from prestigious taxpayer funded universities have concluded that the only way to stave-off sudden guaranteed catastrophe is reversing USID DOGE cuts, more free multifamily housing, and importing an additional 30 million undocumented “workers” from southern lattitudes and the middlw east to balance the world’s economic and spiritual Karma.

that ought to fix it! (could get an A+ at Harvard with that as my dissertation)

Can't we just do it the old fashioned way and throw a virgin into a volcano? Greta would do. Surely that will please the climate change god!

The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.
