There is a sliver of hope: The rainforests that currently carpet the tropics may be more resilient to high temperatures than those that existed before the Great Dying. This is the question the scientists are tackling next.

Nah, ive been sold that "sliver of hope" my whole life and watched as we blow past it again and again. Theyre not gettin me this time. We can solve a lot of our problems. We choose not to.
