To put it differently, the anthropogenic nature of climate change is going to become less salient, because so much future warming has already been locked in by our past actions. We still haven't made the mental leap from averting a threat to mitigating an inevitable reality.

We're entering an era when it will be infeasible to arrest climate change by reducing emissions, and attention will turn to geoengineering. Some of this might backfire, and a lot of it can be attempted unilaterally by any country with ocean access or a stratovolcano. Good times!

I'd prefer every article about this topic end with: 'Carbon PPM in the atmosphere based on latest readings: XXXppm' And, we continue to communicate this is the number that unites us as humanity and is THE marker that defines our age.
