    No shit, but that doesn’t mean there’s “very little effect.” It doesn’t take a lot of warming to cause billions of people to die.

      Yes, but if you read my statement carefully, I ever only speak about “very little” in the context of “compared to what will still happen”.

        You do know that until 2100, there is still very little effect of climate change?

        The actual timescale for most of the effects is in the span of hundreds of years. Because the catastrophic effects are so far in the future is why people do so little about it.

        There was no attempt to compare this to anything. It’s a stand alone claim, which you then later attempted to contextualize.

        Let’s not claim this is my fault because I don’t read carefully enough. You made an imprecise statement and I corrected it.
