No? Ah come on Obie, not even a maybe? Or a slim chance? Just an outright no? Dude..?!?
I would have said no.. not in my lifetime. But mine's short. Conversely, I got great grandkids popping up and have to wonder what they're going see in their's?
And then, of course, when one digs into the details of what is happening while folks try to convince themselves that it's someone else's problem..
Like.. did you see the article about the Thwaites Glacier in Nature?

And how about this one about the shelf holding back the Conger and Glenzer glaciers on the other side of the continent that AP reported on..

And did you grok how extreme the temperature is changing? From the article..
more than 70 degrees (40 Celsius) warmer than normal
Have you bothered to imagine how much water is beyond these initial reports?
No? For my money I'd have to say Space Karen is on to something.. but then I am a strong proponent of taking climate science seriously..
