We're talking hundreds of years for the full impact from a 3C rise to kick in too, so it's not like people on the coast wake up under water the next day.
At what year can we declare that the global warming apocalypse has not happened? When we're all doing fine in 2060 can I stop worrying?
Is there evidence to support this claim? If this were true, then we'd all have battery storage and stop building peaking plants.

I can't participate on that one yet.I'm still screening and compiling materials, and hope to at some future juncture.I am seeing things that are alarming enough to make a person want to go into climate-related research though.Like reading JAMA might make you want to become a physician.
