Their plan is just do it whether it's legal or not, it only matters if somebody actually stops them.

It'll be both, even a very aggressive response will take decades for it to Stop getting hotter then at best it will not get hotter. It will be 4-5 decades at best before it gets cooler.

Methane adds some uncertainty to that though. If you were to stop using gas it might cool off after it disappears in a decade in the atmosphere.

But it will keep getting hotter in every circumstance even if we act aggressively on climate change.

Famine for ocean animals and more hurricanes in the even hotter tropics for starters.

Vegetarian is enough to get most of the benefits for environmental reasons. But it's foolish to wait until that happens, it can't wait.

No, we literally cannot safely build a glass dome that big. I do think large blimps with reflective tops could cool a city a little though.

Cooling down at night is actually a really big deal, plants and animals both use the chill night to rest from the heat. When the night stays hot then the heat really does a lot more damage to health.

There's a basic assumption that the climate of an area is fixed. We don't really have a good mechanism for adjusting the climate of an area quickly. But eventually you have to say that the weather hasn't been hotter than normal for a decade, this is just the new normal.

It started out hotter than it would be and the heatwave is at least a few degrees more severe than it would be otherwise.

There are steps needed to slow global warming and become carbon neutral. Those don't matter much if someone shows up and machine guns your town and loots it.

Spy books have taught me that the mole will be the person in charge of or who ordered the investigation.

You mean a bunch of sweaty bare chested men scrubbed his name off?
