In the grand scheme of things, aren't we being overly concerned about a potential blip? I don't want to minimise this, but some people are becoming hysterical, leading to ideas like blocking the sun or taxing everyone to fund various greenwashing vanity projects. Such click-baits don't help.

Well then, in your opinion, when is the time to actually become concerned about it? If continuous gradual increases aren't it, and larger outlier events aren't it - what's left? Frequent medium increases? Because we're seeing those too. I ask genuinely, from your perspective, when is the time to become concerned about it?

The time window we are looking at is too small to draw any sensible conclusions and nature is constantly adapting to the climate changes.

What time window would be appropriate to draw conclusions, in your opinion?
