    Carbon capture and nuclear winter won’t do a goddamn thing if the clathrate gun goes boom, and it is looking like it has:

    And that single release, equivalent to two years of human output, is the tip of the spear.

    Hope police want to argue that if we are calm about things and don’t point out the dire situation we’re in, we’ll somehow manage.

    It’s the same argument as telling a passenger in a car driving towards a cliff at 50 mph, close enough that seconds matter, to not yell ‘CLIFF! BRAKE!’ Because it would demoralize the driver, and should instead calmly inform the driver that we might have some problems if they don’t stop applying pressure to the gas.
