Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it?

It’s been settled for 20 years that the world is warming. The efforts at this point are entirely focused on containing and limiting the damage. The fight to stop it is long over, and there’s absolutely nothing that can stop some level of catastrophic damage.

It’s actually been settled science for over 40 years at this point. Here’s Carl Sagan laying it out to Congress in 1985 youtu.be/Wp-WiNXH6hI

  I mean technically the science of it has been settled for over 100 years. That’s why Alexander Graham Bell sunk his fortune into early solar energy. That we are going over the cliff into warming the likes of which haven’t been seen in 250 million years is what has been settled for at least 20.
