Today’s strip is so circa 2000. The ‘bad things’ predicted to be 50 years in the future twenty years ago are already the reality, and events then predicted to be a century away are now expected to occur throughout the decades 2030-2050.
Technological advancements in measuring outputs/quantities/affects have radically changed mankind’s comprehension of reality, and the results are existentially foreboding.
Even so, fewer than half of all Americans polled conclude that AGW climate change is ‘serious’.
Odds are, barring swift (within a couple of decades) development of technology capable of capturing/sequestration CO2 and CH4 at scale to return atmospheric levels to <400 ppm before 2021, surface life on planet Earth has little chance of surviving 5 more centuries.
