Global warming is terrifying, and given the general level of mankind’s greed and stupidity in the past, present and foreseeable future, it’s probably undiminishable. Indeed, even if all humans completely stopped burning fossil fuels, the warming trend would continue irregardless because of the volume of greenhouse gases already in the biosphere. The best we can do is to slow down the rate that warming occurs.
Note: The most common human defense mechanism when you can’t run away and hide from something that is fearful is to deny, deny, deny ‘til the bitter end’ (as though living the lie can somehow save you). This, however, will not break our ‘dependence’ [No, wait... our addiction] upon fossil fuels and the fertilizer production that fosters extended nitrous oxide release. https://samslair.blogspot.com/search?
