#2A thoroughly disheartening read, as from what we've seen so far, we seem incapable of taking any action, let alone "emergency action" to mitigate this.

#3Some emergency carbon capture/ sequestration (CCS) measures might include:
- ferrous phytoplankton seeding in open oceans, which requires very little iron
- kelp: fertilizing, harvesting, minifying and capturing carbon; the bloom between Mexico and Africa is especially fertile and already washes thousands of tons onto Mexico's beaches per day
Rather than plant a few trees and declare "mission accomplished," we should exploit biological processes at scale for permanent BeCCS rather than fall for populist, feel-good, ineffective, half-measures.

Well, with that frame, it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. It's doable if the people revolt and take control of their government out of the hands of the very rich because those are the people who are standing in the way and killing us.

#6If you want to do something as a techie, I would suggest helping out projects like the ones found here: https://github.com/topics/climate-change
I would also suggest joining communities like https://climateaction.tech/

#8Human civilizations have always blossomed in warmer climate. All this scaremongering about global warming ending human civilization and destroying nature is just laughable.

#9It seems like they are always saying we are on the brink of some "tipping point." Is there an example of any we have already passed?

May I humbly ask:
What are your qualifications that enable you to come to this conclusion?
I would be very interested in studying your publications - where can I find your analysis?
Also it would be really very appreciated if you would like to publish the datasets that lead you to this conclusion - would you like to give us a public repo with the data, so we can check your results?
Thank you very much!
