@yokofakun@genomic.social this sort of thing is why I keep wanting an estimate of the equilibrium temperature with our current atmospheric composition - the floor of how bad it would get if we stopped greenhouse emissions today and don’t hit any tipping points, the minimum of how hot a world our descendants will live in
