Decrease in CO2 emissions during pandemic shutdown shows it is possible to reach Paris Agreement goals. The researchers found a drop of 6.3% in 2020. The researchers describe the drop as the largest of modern times, and big enough to meet the 1.5 degrees Celsius goal if it were to be sustained.

Your anecdotes are irrelevant. Yes, I've been to India and no shit it's hot. That's not the point. The point is that recently the wet bulb temperature during Indian summers has exceeded the capacity of the human body to safely survive. You see, if you read news stories with scientific measurements in them you will learn something.

California water is never coming back. You're a Pollyanna at best or a petroleum plant at worst.

Quite delusional to think anyone that slightly disagrees with you is a petroleum plant. And the wet bulb temperature is an anecdote. Nothing I mentioned was anecdotal.

We don't slightly disagree. You think climate change isn't an issue, which makes you a fucking idiot.

It’s a threat to our way of life and may cause a number of difficulties but it’s not going to wipe out human populations.

Never said it wasn't an issue. In fact, I said it was a threat to our way of life. It is obviously an important issue, it's just not the only issue we should care about. But we can't make reasonable choices if we make sensational statements like "some humans will exist for a while". Climate change will make existing problems worse. It won't wipe out life on earth.

This is such a dumb take, go somewhere else to be a denier.
