'Greta Thunberg!!!!' The world's ability to continuously get distracted by non-issues. What has this world turned into??

Actually if you knew much about science it is not a non issue. I can put it quite simply.

There is an imbalance between the rate at which carbon is being added to the atmosphere and the rate which nature can sequester said carbon.

We are responsible for that imbalance.

It is and has been slow, but the imbalance has consequences.

Those consequences will be rather bad but I will be dead before the worst gets here.

Once here there is not much you can do about it either.
