The best solution, of course..is to simply stop spewing greenhouse gases into the atmosphere and let the earth heal on its own through natural mechanisms (assuming we haven’t reached a tipping point in climate change already).

Well this will happen in the end no matter what the people will do, and even if noone will be present to observe.
I think you Sad Sacks need some bucking-up. Read this: The Past and Future of Climate Change, and then report back! There will be a short quiz. 😆

I’m not worried about “saving the earth”…I’m worried about “saving the humans”. Climate change is already quite evident in the arctic regions, and recent events in Antarctica with the edge “skirt” of the ice shelf is alarming. Gravimetric readings show a large movement in mass away from the poles, indicating melting ice (likely a major cuprit in skewing temperature readings into seeming relatively stable as the heat of fusion of ice absorbs the excess global thermal load–for now). Satellite measurements indicate an accelerating rise in sea levels, when there should have been a decline when the fresh water resoivours built over the last 50 years are taken into account. Yes, the earth will cycle back to “normal” at some point…but I would prefer if it could start along that path before we’re all dead from drowning, starving, or other misfortune of our own making. I don’t consider that viewpoint as alarmist..but rather a reasonable request 😉
You evidently didn’t do your reading assignment.
Your data sources are compromised, and the projections flawed.

Read the paper. :coolmad:
