Seems unreasonable to regroup by yourself, no?

Seems unreasonable to expect people to work together during a civilization-ending catastrophe.

[hifromwork → precompute]

This actually sound very reasonable. About the only time people can agree is when there's a danger. Nothing unites people more than a common enemy (or, in this case, a phenomena).

But I think GPs point was that if it starts getting colder we go back to carelessly pumping CO2 into atmosphere, but for now we should go with the mainstream science and keep on reducing that.

[precompute → hifromwork]

Maybe in the movies, sure. The majority of the population is already carelessly pumping CO2 into the atmosphere even when most agree emissions should be reduced.

Haha, i thought the same thing when Covid started getting serious. Boy was I wrong.
