I like to think about it in time scales. Earth has one, we another. And we're 'black swans' constantly throwing spanners into hers.

It's not correct to compare it to a jigsaw puzzle. Unless you mean a puzzle that you won't solve, by simulation in a computer. It's a chaotic earth system today, semi chaotic yesterday

Forests
https://news.mongabay.com/2022/08/forest-fires-are-getting-worse-according-to-new-20-year-analysis/
And from that to boreal forests, the taiga and tundra
https://theconversation.com/extreme-wildfires-are-turning-the-worlds-largest-forest-ecosystem-from-carbon-sink-into-net-emitter-201019
So?
" These forests, which cover huge swaths of Canada, Russia and Alaska, are the world's largest land biome. They are also carbon dense, releasing 10 to 20 times more planet-heating carbon pollution for each unit of area burned by wildfires than other ecosystems, according to the study. Boreal forests are one of the fastest warming biomes on Earth, and warmer and drier fire seasons are contributing to expanding wildfires. "

The scientific jargon leaves a lot to wish for.

The new 'normal'. And then we will have to call something worse for the 'new' 'super El Niņo' ad infinitum.

uhu, Super El Niņo you say?

So what are the odds?

How about El Niņo then, as that's what we're moving to?

Where that fossil ban, to 2040, will force changes that won't come without it. It will hit us hard, and make a lie of all those dreams of a ever growing GDP, bank account etc. And it will need sharing, of whatever is left after all those economic balloons deflate. It will be about sustainability.

It's the last bet, and the first. That you want to change.

That's what those two decades primary should be about. We can live with plastics, for a while longer, but not forever. We can exist without recycling, for a while longer, but not forever. We can live with nuclear power plants, for a while, but not forever. We can live with over populations, for a while longer, but not forever.
What we can't live with are those fossils use, and that game.

The priority is no more wars, a consensus and a global fossil ban.
