Much more climate change than we're already seeing is locked in. If emissions went to zero tomorrow, we'd still see hotter summers for years. I understand the political goal of making every headline sound like we're about to die, but it's cynical and I believe counterproductive.

Yeah, absolutely. It's an awful fact about the world, and it sucks that we got here.
