The world is shifting towards a superheated climate not seen in the past 1m years, prior to human existence, because “we are damned fools” for not acting upon warnings over the climate crisis, according to James Hansen, the US scientist who alerted the world to the greenhouse effect in the 1980s.

There are dramatic steps we can take to help reverse course beyond a ban on fossil fuels, but reflecting heat back to space with radiative cooling panels and scattering particles in the atmosphere and setting off volcanoes on purpose are massive investments with potentially very big side effects. Sure would have been nice if they had listened to the scientists 25 years ago.

We're only damned if we all don't start transitioning off fossil fuels as fast as we each possibly can. Don't be foolish like the #FossilFools

He got that right and it's on many levels the stupidity.
