    I followed the links in that quote:

    Climate models have consistently found that once we get emissions down to net zero, the world will largely stop warming; there is no warming that is inevitable or in the pipeline after that point.

    Neither addresses tipping points. They seem to talk about something else entirely, like wether a model assumes constant atmospheric concentration, or constant emissions, that kind of difference.

      So you trust some random dude who writes articles who might have looked at some models, instead of actual science

      The whole idea of these feedback loops is that it is not gonna stop even if we stop releasing fossil fuel i.e. its “in the pipeline”

        There’s so much wrong with comments starting with “So you …”.

        Yes, I’m not a climate scientist. I don’t have the time and energy to read all the relevant papers, nor do I need to do so to participate in the discussion on Lemmy. Sometimes I do, but I’m not obliged to, and you’re not in a position to judge.

        It’s great though that you read the paper. Can you support your claim with quotes from it? After all, I don’t trust random dudes.

          So you just want to be a dick? I was only trying to point out that the “no more warming after we get to net zero” view is wrong and may very well get us all killed

            Nah, that’s you. Oh, ok. I did not understand you wanted to point out that. This is confusing. Maybe you misunderstood my initial comment.

            I’m not agreeing with the quote from the article, but speaking against it.
