The scientific perspective: no matter what we do, global temperatures will not go back for several decades.

There is nothing we can do to help them now, apart from shipping them A/C units, diesel generators and diesel fuel to burn.

Heresy! They're good enough burning cow dung while we judge them from our AC cooled homes for not living frugally enough.

They will drop once someone starts seeding SO2. And someone will.

Do you know this as a fact? Or is it just wishful thinking?

Not sure I'd call it "wishful", but it seems inevitable.

Although we are making progress, that progress does not appear to be fast enough to avoid the "wet bulb events" that others have described (and linked to sources).

So that is going to happen. And once it happens, the governments where this happened will have a choice: protect their citizens or let them die.

What do you think will happen?
