That…. Is fucking tragic. There’s no going back to that. Ever.
Don't worry, the ice will come back, we just won't be around to see it.
Speak for yourself, I intend to be here for it.
For that to happen the carbon would need to be buried in the ground again, however
And it's possible that humanity has emitted so much and warmed the globe so much that we shift the global climate stability point to something else than was before. It's possible the new equilibrium over millions of year will be a warmer earth
Or an Earth with Harsher winters and Massive Winterstorms followed by Scorching HeatWaves. Only cockaroaches will survive.
Unless you are evolving into roaches, no human being will survive the Earth's mighty global climate swings.
Oh it will be back. We won't be. But the planet always bounces back.
Not really tbh. The earth is well past the halfway point until we look like Mars: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_far_future
We would be closer to Venus
Which is not really a horrible realization, we know earth has a shelf life, the question is will we be able to solve space colonization to ensure the survival of our species?
