If we stopped burning oil today, entirely, worldwide, the environment should stabilize around temperatures in about 10 years. That'd be a start. That figure also assumes the arctic permafrost hasn't thawed far enough to keep pushing temps itself.

But yes I've read timelines of 100+ years to see real improvement.

That figure also assumes the arctic permafrost hasn't thawed far enough to keep pushing temps itself.

That figure would be making a very incorrect assumption.

Wait until summer 2027, then no one will be able to deny this.
