If we trigger tipping point after tipping point, we can turn earth into venus. You're just wrong.
What am I wrong about? What happened to Venus was caused by the eruption of super volcanoes. That's the exact example I used above of an actual existential threat.
I don't know the details, but I'm pretty sure greenhouse effect has something to do with it.
But it doesn't matter, it's beside the point. This person obviously means global warming could make the planet much hotter than we want, inhabitably hot like Venus. Not that we are literally Venus
Doomerism is a vibe. You're gonna have a hard time talking people down around these parts.
