Climate change is like a very large dinner party at an expensive mansion with hundreds of guests.
Imagine each minute is 10,000 years.
The dinner party is fairly orderly for the first few hours. There might be some minor incidents along the way but nothing that can't naturally be handled.
As the evening goes on more wine is consumed after dinner is over. As people drink more, the environment of the party begins to change. There are more incidents that get wildly out of control. The flirty girl is now dancing on the bar. Guys are throwing champagne glasses in the fireplace. Some guy is passed out in the rose bushes.
Adding more energy to our climate is going to have a runaway effect and there is no leaving the party. Things are going to continue to get worse until eventually, everyone dies from alcohol poisoning.
Or in our case, from crop failure, farm animal extinction due to lack of food and clean water, more disease, more famine, more war over resources, and then death.

Insanity - Doing the same thing over and over again, expecting a different result
