    Tbf, its not even yet a win technically.

    TCO is expected to return to 1980 values around 2066 in the Antarctic, around 2045 in the Arctic, and around 2040 for the near-global average (60°N-60°S). - Source

      If we turn around climate change, even if we fail to avoid quadrillion dollar sea level rise, I’m going to call it a win

      I hope we don’t lose too much before we do win though, or after we do

      So is that good news, that we’re moving in the right direction?

      Though the very next sentence from that linked source says

      The assessment of the depletion of TCO in regions around the globe from 1980-1996 remains essentially unchanged since the 2018 Assessment.

        2018 to 2022 didnt see much change (and given how far until its fully returned to normal, I think you can see qhy - it takes a long time to fully heal), but we’re certainly pretty far into success compared to where we were.
