Worse than we think. I bet we’re underestimating the downward spiral effect. Glacier breaks off, less reflected sunlight, warming accelerates, even more glacier breaks off, etc. Here’s video I took a few weeks ago of the Hubbard Glacier calving.

I assume most people will interpret it as "my society/the media or popular messaging in my society"

Biggest issue is that the ball is hurtling down the cliff, it's not bad yet, but we need the whole planet and alot of money for us to even slow down the effects

Another interesting version of this question would be:
How confident should we be about our current assessment of climate change?

I voted less bad, but I will absolutely change it to as bad if this Amazon Fire isn’t under control soon. This has me worried. The rainforest is a critical global system.

I think the answer is complicated. On the internet, you see a lot of claims that are far more dire than the actual climate models for the next century. Now, that said, it does get plenty apocalyptic over a timescale of, say 150-200 years and people undersell that. So, both?

I voted not bad / not real. This isn't to say that I don't think the climate is changing, of course it is. I just don't think we have as significant effect on it as the media says. In the 70s I remember everyone warning about acid rain, then it was global freezing.
