Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

We absolutely do, that's a doomer narrative that is extremely useful for those invested in making it worse.
Science suggests we face a reversible issue.
You can control the jet stream? Dope!! I thought it had to do with ocean temperatures and how the ocean is mostly fucked in that sense and hence everything has gone haywire. We can't control major air currents dude, they just do what they do because they do. I'm not dooming anything. We have been at idle too long, the goals are no longer reachable that would stop this, it needed to be done decades ago and not sure it was ever even possible then.
What science suggests it's reversible? We can't cool the ocean, we can't take chemicals out of the ozone layer. We can slowly reverse it back to something, or allow it to stabilize by not drive the causes further into the red, but there is no going back. Sorry. Ship has sailed. That parrot is past tense!
Sure I can't. But limiting the emissions can come to a point when world becomes carbon-negative. This would cool the oceans and the atmosphere, changing the currents yet again. Indeed, the interactions are more complex, and it won't reverse in a complete sense, but it will get better.
