And that doesn't change my point, does it?

This one year, or the year previous, is not evidence that the ecosystem of the planet is going to collapse in 10 years.

It's one year in a long and alarming trendline, but to extrapolate that to such an extreme conclusion is completely unwarranted.

> Rhetoric of restrained caution hasn't really served us well.

First, I didn't suggest "restrained caution". I can only speculate as to how you came to that conclusion.

Second, rhetoric that we're all gonna die by 2030 and nothing can be done is far more harmful.
