"Although sea levels will not rise instantaneously, the calculated increases will be “locked in” at a temperature rise of 3C, meaning they will be irreversible even if warming eventually slows down."

That is something a lot of people don't truly realize.

We should do some research whether we can spray some dust like particles in stratosphere to reduce the level of suns intensity. It can counter global warming. If it works we can even blast some asteroid which will create dust particles in stratosphere which will cool the earth.

We might not need to spray them if we start putting them jet fuel. Maybe some aluminum particles float with the fuel and start reflecting back infrared radiation.

Why don't we have global warming disaster movies? We have AI ones and even an earth freezing over. Was there one that did so poorly so as not to be attempted again?

Likely just as well. It would have to have a happy ending and somehow some unfunded hero saves the world.

"The day the world ended," and Wall-E are about global warming.

Google Global warming movies and you'll find a bunch of high profile movies.
