There are 26 climate feedback loops that are ignored by most models.
Also feedback loops can interact with each other, in every possible combination. For example thawing permafrost releases methane which heats the climate, causing more wildfires which reduces rainfall, which heats the climate, soot from the fires falls on a glacier, etc etc
It’s a lot.
Except that “there are 26 climate feedback loops that are ignored by most models” is a clear misrepresentation of what the article you linked to actually says, which is that this scientific team has identified 26 amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may not be fully accounted for in climate models.
“Some may not be fully accounted for” is a far cry from “ignored by most models”. Spreading this type of false narrative on climate science only helps the people who use the “we don’t know enough about the climate to take any action” excuse, please don’t contribute to it!

So basically what you’re saying is we’re all majorly fucked and not in a good way. Might as we just get the money out of my retirement fund to have some fun with it while it lasts.
I am, but I also have a predilection for doomsday scenarios and zero climate science training. 🤡
Yes, because the world is extremely complex. The sadder thing, is that even if we solved climate change tomorrow, we’d still have a few other ways for our planet to end, including destruction of soil habitat, loss of biodiversity, and literally dozens of pollutants like BPA and glyphosate, dyes for clothes, microplastics, heavy metals (including from tractor tires&exhaust right onto the fields we grow our food in)… And we have an outdated representative democracy that doesn’t utilize our country’s education or expertise. Frustrating. It’s not the time of horses any more, we can fucking use technology now ya’ll. We should be able to vote and discuss policy en masse from our homes/cell phones. We don’t need representatives if we are literally our own representative in a true democracy.
Can we just shit out a lot of sulphur dioxide (anti greenhouse gas) into the atmosphere for 50 years whilst co2 emissions are halted?
Technically possible, but it’d be a few centuries before the excess CO2 is gone and you have to shit out sulphur. Unless you do massive CO2 cartridge too to reduce that time. And that will depends on cutting CO2 emissions to near zero what doesn’t seem to happen anytime soon. Plus you’d have everyone screaming how much it costs the entire way.
When you catch a virus, your immune system induces a fever to kill the virus. In this case, we are the virus.
