> The IPCC reports are quite conservative. The reason the 2021 reports were so dire is because they began including some of the feedback loop modeling the scientists preparing the report have become more confident in. More is in the pipeline.

And what's even more frustrating is that we've known about these feedbacks for 15-20? years.

I've been reading about climate change and feedbacks for the past decade and I'm just part of the general public.

Climate change was well known before that.

There's actually a report to Lyndon Johnson in 1965 about the dangers of climate change.

I suspect they knew well before the 1980s. [0][1]
