Heat Versus Temperature

It's simple. The Earth is emitting less heat than it's receiving. The temperature won't go up much as long as we have ice, because the ice absorbs the extra heat by melting. Once we lose the last ice, the temperature will rise faster than we can respond to and higher than we can survive.

We need to act while we still have ice. We need to change the atmosphere to allow the Earth to emit as much heat as it receives.
