This is a big what if? And I’m sure I’m off here and there. It’s certainly more like a back of the envelope thing…
But the really shitty thing about global heating (lets just call it what it really is) is the lag in it’s reaching the atmosphere because up until just about now the oceans are soaking up more heat and have been sparing the atmosphere from much of the destructive effects.

I came around to look at the temperature on the big thermometer in the front yard and it’s 54 degrees Fahrenheit today.
