I think many scientists working on different aspects of the climate system are often aware of how serious things are but avoid thinking too much about it by focusing on the particular thing they are studying.

Personally, I find it terrifying when I listen to people in a different field talk objectively and dispassionately about their observations.

I totally get it. I’m grateful and admire your work and tenacity in behalf of…the planet. It cannot be overstated. I almost wish we’d see more dramatic effects and consequences to wake certain people up.

I know what you mean. When I check on any recent measurement, such as SST or sea ice extent, part of me hopes to see extreme values that we can raise alarm about while another part hopes for some respite from the system going off the rails.
