    It doesn’t make any difference what got us here in the first place. What matters now is what options are the best from now moving forward.

    These scientists seem to say that trying to reverse climate change isn’t the right path forward. I wonder why.

    edit: I wonder what makes them think that reversing climate change won’t work.

    Someone was so offended by their misreading of my comment that they went through and downvote-bombed every comment in my history.

      What they’re saying is that trying to reverse climate change won’t be enough. It doesn’t mean it isn’t the right path, just that it won’t go far enough.

      Because it won’t work? That’s what I got from the article. I’m not sure what else you’re implying.
