"“What people often don’t grasp is that it’s taken 100 years to get the oceans that warm at depth,” he says. “Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it’s going to take hundreds of years for that to circulate through the ocean. We’re going to pay this cost for a very, very long time, because we’ve already put the heat in the ocean.”"

"If it takes that long, it's not my problem, it's a problem of the future. So I can do what I want."It's not a problem of understanding, it's a problem of responsibility.

@yokofakun The heat energy absorbed by the oceans in 2025 was “200 times the electrical use of everyone on the planet”. I hope we can find a way to harvest some of that energy to use or store or send into space, so we can slow down making things even worse

@yokofakun this sort of thing is why I keep wanting an estimate of the equilibrium temperature with our current atmospheric composition - the floor of how bad it would get if we stopped greenhouse emissions today and don’t hit any tipping points, the minimum of how hot a world our descendants will live in
