Not understanding the timeline is what feeds into climate denialism. It's like their #1 talking point
We're already feeling serious impacts, right now, in 2023. This statement just makes you seem incompetent. I hope for your sake you're just a bad actor.

You have fun too.
Astroturf harder for me daddy.
You don't know what astroturfing is

Next time you're confused just ask for clarity.

You're either dramatically overestimating the current situation or vastly underestimating how serious things will actually get
