Everyone reading this comment; "uh, seems a bit too depressing of an article, I'll just read the comments."

Crucially, though, these changes don’t just happen the moment we reach the 1.5°C threshold. They are incremental.
As Penn State University climate scientist Michael Mann told Inside Climate News in 2018: “A better analogy is a minefield. The further out onto that minefield we go, the more explosions we are likely to set off.”

Here, someone make discourse.

Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...
