    I’m not suggesting nothing is happening. I’m just saying there’s a huge gap between ‘it’s way too warm for this time of year than it used to be’ and ‘children of this generation won’t grow up.’

        I mean in the 60s we all thought we’d be destroyed by atomic bombs

        Which wasn’t something that was guaranteed to happen. You had a reasonable hope that political interaction would make that unnecessary, which is what ended up happening.

        We are 100% guaranteed to face climate catastrophe and can no longer prevent it, only attempt to handle and contain it when it inevitably crosses the line of survivability, and even that is looking unlikely these days. These things are not the same.
