The permafrost is melting. It is releasing a LOT of methane and a lot of carbon dioxide.

It contains about TWICE the carbon that is already in the atmosphere. So, it is a VERY strong feedback loop, that could trigger other feedback loops.

If you're okay with that, then you are not understanding what it means.

Lemmy - we know from the evidence that we humans are disruptive changes. Very rapid changes are very hard to adapt to, and are already causing the sixth great extinction.

Our children will curse us.
