Shaving every tenth of a degree off whatever final thermometer number we end up at means a few more glaciers hanging on, diminished perhaps, but a glacier still, with room to grow.

They'll definitely come back. It's just a matter of if humanity will still be around to see them come back.

I appreciate the sense of hope that we can turn this around, however glaciers across the entire world are rapidly shrinking at present, so without immediate and drastic global action, I'm afraid they are all on track to be lost permanently. This will certainly change the water situation around the world, in addition to devastating ecosystems

people are hardwired to be lazy and selfish, evolution rewards it. there is no way thats going to change at the 11th hour.

Stupid people believe that's how evolution works, and acts accordingly, but the only reason we're as successful as a species as we are is because of our ability to cooperate and organise.
