On a loosely related note, I spent a week climbing in the Austrian Alps in June. I was nearly brought to tears to see a glacier that I have known for 15 years had reduced by 30m in length since the last time I crossed it two years ago.
15m per year is desperately sad. It'll be gone in our lifetimes.
And that is after one of the longest and snowiest winters in living memory.

Yeah it's really bad. We've already fucked the planet.

Did you fly there? Sadly we're all complicit.

I would say the overwhelming sentiment amongst my climate scientist friends is what @hoefla said. We done goofed and the planet's irreversibly screwed. Unless someone invents some sort of miraculous CCS device.
Positive thinking don't cut it
