What Hacker News says?
I found this a very helpful article to make sense of the current situation.

Therefore since we are actually close to starting to reduce our emissions, global warming will probably peak and then cool. This is also in the IPCC's report, but gets ignored everywhere. Reading LT3000s post on this is very ins…
