The Earth is not in any way going to cool in the near to medium term. Fact.
Who is having a future of "living within one's means" profitable? Less consumerism, less energy usage, personal carbon footprints etc.

Highlighting the fact, that you're ignoring science, is not 'being overdramatic'. So can you answer the question?

Why are you trying to use your beliefs to ignore science?

Science says that it's not likely that there will be a runaway greenhouse effect, however, the Earth could enter a hot-house state, losing all polar ice with very high sea level rise.
You're not entirely coherent, but I think English is not your first language.
That being said, you don't know much about climate change nor about AI.
Google DeepMind is one of the world's leading AI research labs, and it will be using AI to model weather and climate (it's been one of DeepMind's primary goals, to use AI to understand and find solutions to climate change).

Lol, what? The PETM caused a major disruption to global ecosystems and had a severe impact on ocean chemistry and marine life, where approx two thirds of marine species went extinct. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2003197117
At a mere +2C there'll be multiple, simultaneous breadbasket failures, and at +4C large scale agriculture will largely collapse.

What?? Satellites have been measuring less radiation escaping the upper atmosphere then is entering it, and they measuring increased radiation abdorption in the bands in which CO2 absorbs radiation.
There's no point in trying to deny basic physics and chemistry.

Really?? AI is being used to find novel materials in material science to novel medicines and research in physics. We're now also seeing it with AI art and ChatGPT.

That's ridiculous, those are measurements based on natural phenomena and laws.

Not necessarily.
Satellite data, temperature data, ocean salinity, wind speeds etc are not 'things made by humans'.

That doesn't make sense, as the article is about research showing that threshold may be crossed earlier. It's doing the opposite of downplaying risks.

SS: The world could reach 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above pre-industrial levels in the next decade and hit 2 degrees by mid-century, even with significant global efforts to curb pollution, according to a new study using artificial intelligence. The study used artificial neural networks trained on climate models and historical temperature observations. In all three scenarios, scientists estimated that the world would hit 1.5 degrees of warming by 2033-2035. There is an 80% probability that 2 degrees warming will be reached before 2065, even if net-zero emissions are reached, but if emissions remain high, a 50% probability of reaching 2 degrees before 2050. The use of machine learning in climate science is increasing.

Reply to comment by earsplitingloud in Greenland's glaciers are melting 100 times faster than estimated by strangeattractors
No, silly.
Greenland was named by the Norse explorer Erik the Red in the 10th century. At the time, Erik had been exiled from Iceland and was seeking a new place to settle. He came across the island of Greenland, which was largely covered in ice and snow, and decided to name it Greenland in an attempt to attract settlers to the area. Despite the cold and inhospitable climate, Erik's marketing strategy worked and he was eventually able to establish a settlement on the island.
The name "Greenland" is somewhat of a misnomer, as the island is largely covered in ice and snow, and there is very little vegetation. However, the name likely reflects the fact that some parts of the island, particularly along the coast, are more green and fertile than others. The name "Greenland" may also have been chosen to distinguish the island from nearby Iceland, which has a more temperate climate and is more green and lush.

Running is the simplest of exercises, it can be done any time of day or year and it can be quite social too. I really miss it, and had serious withdrawals for a good part of a year, after the sports specialist said that my ankle injury would end my running career.

Not really. The world's richest 10% produce 50% of global CO2 emissions, whereas the poorest 50% produce only 10% of emissions. And a similar difference is with resource usage.
So it's clear where the majority of the problem is.
