Reply to comment by Critical_Student8761 in Atmospheric levels of all three greenhouse gases hit record high by hugglenugget

The more disturbing fact in the article is that the rate of increase is higher too, and some of that may be due to natural processes we've unleashed that now have a momentum beyond our control.

This feels like well articulated bullshit. Also co2 isn't the only culprit, and while interesting, this just feels like looking for a reason to justify not helping.

Besides, I'm pretty sure things have gained enough momentum that I don't think anything beyond flat out pulling the plug on fossil fuel and dramatically dialing back industrial farming, will buy us any time.

I'm not saying this guy doesn't know his field. I'm in full support of sharing digestible science to broaden the understanding of how fucked we are and why. I'm just wary anytime someone presents one aspect of a multifaceted scenario.

This guy's presentation, and how you shared it, came off, to me, like co2 will go away so don't worry about it. I'm sure I misinterpreted it, but I'm also sure I'm not the only one, which makes this ,without an eli5 of the science, more misinformation than anything else. imo

You may not be intentionally pushing an agenda, but unfortunately agendas are pushed by the stuff we share whether we mean to or not.

I wouldn't be too hard on him.
