And now of all times there's even more carbon dumping because of the "AI" hype, including vague promises of solving that very problem that the hype is contributing to, as soon as the robot god gets built and wakes up, just you wait!

Once we build god he’s certainly gonna save us!
It's okay because emission growth is slowing! Do I mean emissions are going down? Nope, but we're giving that second derivative the real what-fer.
Also, can I just say fuck Bill McKibben? He's been cheerleading for Harris like no tomorrow even after the Biden admin's betrayal on CP2 and the constant chants of "fracking fracking fracking." Stop fundraising for her, you lunatic
I'm just saying if there's no snow my new best use for my skis is going to be using them as 6 foot long planks with sharp edges on them to hit people who say climate change isn't real.
I literally remeber having snow from late October to April, Halloween costumes had to be warm because there was a chance it would be snowing.
Now we've narrowly avoided a green Christmas multiple times because we got a dusting on the morning of the 25th.
I know there are far, far more dire consequences of climate change than me not being able to slide downhill fast but I literally can't comprehend how everybody isn't freaking the fuck out over the fact that winter is less than half of what it was 3 decades ago.

i would like to bring to your attention both vlad the III and the romans, who i feel had some deeply innovative thoughts in this exact regard
Where I grew up it used to rain during the summer. Now it's barely raining in the fall. Trees aren't even turning there yet and we're almost to October.
please god let us start killing these people before they end all life on earth, i know it's probably over but we can at least make them beg for their miserable, misbegotten lives before they finish filming this sick snuff film
parliamentarian says no catharsis
interesting, interesting...but...what if i say no parliamentarian? 
We did it Reddit
Beat me to it.
At least Kevin Bacon is still alive.
But who's gonna pay to fix it, hmm?
Checkmate, commies 
Seems bad
Humans competing with cyanobacteria of the great oxidation event to see who could wipe out the most life on earth
I looked really hard in the original paper for where it says the rate of change is greater than it has been at any other time in the Phanerozoic and for the life of me could not find it. This article from 2013 states that climate is changing faster now than in the last 65mya (since KT extinction). So I was eager to see this updated number in the paper. The cleantechnica article cites that from an interview with Judd.
My sense is that the paper does not specifically address rate because the time spans at which the rate of change is measure is dramatically different between contemporary climate change and climate change over the last 500mya. And this is what Judd observed, but did not try to get this number through the peer-review process because it might be difficult and the paper is about so much more than just rate.
I think it's a little irresponsible of the cleantechnica journalist here to use this as the title and main point. If you read the abstract and conclusion of the paper the rate is not mentioned at all. This article makes very important contributions, namely showing a strong consistent link between climate change and CO2 concentration, showing that global mean surface temperature (GMST) varied over a range from 11° to 36°C over the last 500mya, and calculating that for every doubling of CO2 concentration the GMST increases by 8°C (which is a lot higher than we thought).
