If we're just in an ice age interim, then the long winter is coming which could last tens or hundreds of thousands of years.
Are we in an interim? If so, we need to burn more coal to stop the coming return of the ice age.

I really am serious. Is carbon release needed to avert a return of the ice age?

No.

Relies on IF we are in that interim. And even if it ends up going that way, why should we burn valuable resources for exactly that time when we have much better ways to heat the earth than burning coal. Nice bait though.

You guys aren't taking efforts to stop the return of an ice age seriously.

Because it's not a serious concern.

civilization can exist just fine in the tropics in an ice age.

This is it, most of the southern US and southern Europe is burning to the ground, agriculture getting stifled. South America and Australia are both in massive droughts, wildfires handicapping their land. Sure south America might hold out for a while while there's still fresh rainforest to chop and nutrients to use, but that'll all erode away and they'll be left with a useless savanna. The more northern parts of America/Europe starting to look like the south, the south just turning into straight up desert.

It's over, we fucked it up real good. Can't wait till half the planet gets wiped out by famine. Yeah, sure 1st worlders (myself included) talk tough, but the next time power outtages happen from strained grid, strained everything from warmer temps, renewables, etc. Well you're gonna see a lot of heat deaths. Oh boy.

Also if you're European hope you like the heatwaves, it's the new normal. This won't be for just a few days, or weeks, it's gonna be 40 C temps every year, or close to it. At least until we can bother to unfuck the climate in 100 years. Have fun feeling like a stranger in your own country as you sweat every night for the rest of your life, or live with the artificiality of air conditioning, knowing your ancestral home is no longer habitable for you.

Ah yes, live in your own world, god knows it's better than angsting about reality. Sometimes I genuinely wish I could deny climate change, would save a fuck ton of anxiety.

CO2 greens the Earth by promoting plant growth. It won't be a desert world but a forest world.
