Reply to comment by oldcreaker in The Greenland Ice Sheet is close to a melting point of no return by Vucea

I am not a climate denier, bit I think we already hit some thresholds. Like the permafrost in the north are already melting and emmiting huge amounts of methane. Not sure if there is a was to stop all this. Reducing CO2 is still important tho

There is always a way to stop all of this. Hell, there are ways.

What we lack is the political fortitude to make it so.

Yeah I don't think there really is. You can't change physics. We haven't hit the wall yet, but we are too fast to halt before impact. And yes. Politically it's not really wanted.

I’m not saying we can reverse every problem we’ve created but we damn well know how to substantially lower the damage we’re causing and mitigate future damages. One year of COVID alone created more positive change than we thought even possible. As I stated above, the only issue is politics. It’s a lot more than just “not really wanted.” It’s almost completely not cared about.
