Yep. I fell into level 3 in 2004 when the melting tundra ice started releasing methane in an amount that far dwarfs man-made CO2 emissions over the last 2000 years or so.

And we've now been in that positive feedback loop for 21 years (the warmer it gets, the more methane ice in the tundra melts, which worsens the carbon load of the atmosphere, which causes more global warming).

And there is NOTHING you can do to "stop global warming" at all, except maybe adjust to it by buying a bigger air conditioner for your house (or better yet, a smarter one, now that we know how ground loop heat pumps work).

How old are you? North Dakota hasn't had temperate rainforests in the last million years or so. Or as Gemini states:

No, North Dakota does not have temperate rainforests, which are characterized by high rainfall, high humidity, and dense vegetation like mosses and ferns, often found on the Pacific coast or in mountainous regions. Instead, North Dakota's dominant forest type is deciduous, with a few patches of specialized forests like those in Gunlogson State Nature Preserve, which features bur oak and basswood, and juniper woodlands found in Theodore Roosevelt National Park.
What is a temperate rainforest?
Temperate rainforests are found in areas with high rainfall and humidity but cooler temperatures than tropical rainforests.
They are characterized by a lush growth of epiphytes (plants that grow on other plants), such as mosses and lichens, which thrive on trees.
Vascular plants, including lush ferns and berry-producing shrubs, are also abundant in the understory.

Comment I can't even imagine kids after 50 (Score 1) 6

For all my pro-life ramblings, we were granted only one child. He's 22 now. I'm not sure if I'm jealous or worried about you. Keeping up with two toddlers after age 50 can't be easy.

In other news, by marrying close to my age, I'm spending 51 to 54 in caregiving activities to the point that I can't keep up with a 40 hour a week job, and the job market is such ain't nobody gonna hire me anyway, so I'm striking out on my own and trying to trick old people into paying me $300 to back up their Windows 10 boxes and switch on TPM in UEFI if it exists:
