It's kind of important whether it's 2095 (prepare for it, set up nuclear, reduce carbon emissions) or 2025 (fuck global warming, we need fuel and we need it now, the more carbon emitted the better).
Local cooling still global warming overall.
The collapse of the current in the model is a direct result of global warming. The solution is to act like climate change is an emergency because it is.
That's true if it's closer to 2095. If it's closer to 2025, there's fuck all we can do to stop it, and so we need to do what's best to survive it, which is not the same as what's best to prevent it.
