But I am guessing many people not only don't want to read your observations, but probably can't bring themselves to comment.

...and really what is there to say? we're screwn.
The whole efforts to curb emissions by 2030 is a joke when the emissions from (how many years ago?) are just now making the rounds. Add to that the feedback loop from melting permafrost and methane release...we're screwn sideways.

I can literally recall saying 10+ years ago that the models were all wrong and that things were gonna happen faster, like a snowball rolling downhill gathering steam. And over and over again I see more articles that say "oops, things are happening faster..." were the models wrong? Or were they not disclosed in full because the scienists KNEW the shit was already hitting the fan...

I've apologized to my kids for bringing them onto this flaming shitheap of a planet. I plan to see as much of the beauty and grandeur as I can before it's all gone, or we are.
