Here's the thing: the outcome depends very much on what we choose to do.

Stop adding CO₂ and other greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, and temperatures will stabilize fairly quickly

The biggest part of that is to phase out fossil fuel use. Making that happen means:

  • Generate electricity without burning stuff
  • Electrify everything we can
  • Stop doing the things we can't

Here in Vietnam we're losing winter very quickly, it's getting warmer and shorter every year. Winter is the only time in Vietnam when weather is mildly comfortable compared to the rest of the year so losing it sucks so hard.

I am so sorry, that really sucks. :( And this shit's only get worse unless we do something. The U.S and china are big contributors. America keeps greenwashing to distract consumers. We need to abolish cars and phase out fossil fuels. Nuclear is a good option.
