    Climate disasters have been happening. You’re just told that they were supposedly predicting sudden collapse, which is not the case. It’s a slow ramping up, eventually becoming (likely) unstopable but still it will be relatively slow.

    For example, ice is white so it reflects sunlight (aka heat). As it melts, the reflective index of the earth decreases and we absorb more heat, melting more ice, reducing the reflective index, and so on. Here’s the arctic sea ice levels, including for 2023 so far. It’s way down. It’s just data and doesn’t have “an agenda.” The people telling you that some other people have “an agenda” have an agenda though.
