Ice loss from Greenland and Antarctica hits new record
I personally have zero hope that we'll succeed in mitigating "tipping point", irreversible climate change. I'm less doom-and-gloom about it than most, though, since I think we'll find ways to adapt, and a sort of apocalyptic human-ending scenario doesn't seem likely to me.Don't get me wrong, "adapt" is going to be painful. But I think it will be painful in the way the industrial revolution was painful: Lots and lots of cultural displacement, shifts in lifestyles, etc. But it'll also make some new billionaires and powerhouse industrial centers based around the need to fundamentally change our society to stop making it worse and to solve the problems a heating globe produces.
