It's so cute that these grown-ups make decisions based on what comes out of their own arseholes. Perhaps it's time to retire them.
We don't even know for certain how much carbon dioxide affects the climate over time, we just know that it does, and have educated guesses as to how much. Said educated guesses are under scrutiny because they might be too optimistic and things might be much, much worse than we're currently attempting to adjust for.
In short; what we're currently doing isn't enough, and what we're currently pushing for might also not be enough. Sure, our goals might be unrealistic, and there will be catastrophes; that's the price we have to pay because they chose to ignore and delay the problem. Instead of paying up and dealing with the cavity, we're now arguing that it's not so bad that the jaw is rotting off.
Ohgnoes Dantoudai-chan, don't lop their cute widdle necksie-wecksies off~! UωU
