The sanctioned action is to CHUG


We are all going to die in like 2 centuries.

Well we will all be dead long before then, but you get the point.

Or, put another way, from discord (no idea the actual source):

The problem remains that right now there is enough carbon in the air that even if we add no more to it - as in cutting emissions 100% magically over night - the already emitted carbon is enough to drive us to the methane gun triggering in a few decades, which will in turn turn global warming up to 11.
Most of earth will be uninhabitable by humans in a couple centuries, even if we stop polluting right now.
We need some kind of breakthrough in carbon-scrubbing and widespread adoption of same, if we want to beat global warming and survive as a civilization.
This is all independent of global sea levels rising and wiping out our big cities.

I at least live inland, but in the middle of the population centre so if Kim-Jong Un is worth a drat I'll just get instantly vaporized.

Seems a good time to mention how Star Wars the term "solar forcing" has always sounded to me.
