Here's a worthwhile thread on Twitter about the "hothouse Earth" paper that has had a fair amount of media attention.
There's been a lot of back and forth on Twitter between climate interested scientists and journalists about whether it's a good or bad thing to highlight the paper - the downside being the risk that people perceive preventing disastrous climate change as a lost cause.
But surely the point of the paper is that it encourages serious action to prevent a long term hothouse Earth. The problem is more likely with some of the reporting rather than the content.
