We’re watching in real time the things climate scientists told us was going to happen over 50 years ago:

West Antarctic ice sheet and CO2 greenhouse effect: a threat of disaster [1]

At this point people should expect that we’re going to pass 3C warming because people who could do something don’t give a shit and the ones that do care are impotent to change it

How long do you think you'll keep up the edgy persona when you're directly affected by an extreme weather event?

I'm curious as to why you're looking forward to those events. Would you mind elaborating?

Ice maximum shows no trend in 50 years, Antarctica is doing OK all things considered... https://www.climate.gov/news-features/understanding-climate/...

There’s literally nothing that will prove anthropogenic climate change as a catastrophic event to people who want to find evidence that everything is perfectly fine

so continue to do that and live in a fantasy world

By the way, it’s the oscillation extreme frequency that you should be more worried about in that graph instead of The totality numbers — so maybe go back to actually understanding the mechanism.
