Well, then you are scientifically illiterate so it isn't surprising you have trouble. Evaporate might be a more apt term.

"In the past few years, however, physicists have been training supercomputers on the lowly water molecule, calculating its properties from first principlesand finding that it absorbs more radiation at more wavelengths than they'd realized before. In a paper published this week in Nature Geosciences, those calculations have rippled into a simple climate model. The paper's conclusion contains this slightly unsettling sentence: "The runaway greenhouse may be much easier to initiate than previously thought.""
.....
"What my results show is that if you put about ten times as much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as you would get from burning all the coal, oil, and gasabout 30,000 parts per millionthen you could cause a runaway greenhouse today. So burning all the fossil fuels won't give us a runaway greenhouse. "
So, it seems a bit iffy.
Well, then you are scientifically illiterate so it isn't surprising you have trouble. Evaporate might be a more apt term.
Hansen is scientifically illiterate, just because he said the oceans could boil?
You should tell him yourself.
Well, I don't generally watch video. I am a reader. So I have no idea what the video says.
You shouldn't worry your pretty head about it though. AWG will be a disaster well before that occurs, if at all.
The realist issues are species habitat changes, drougth, and excessive precipitation. Maybe coastline erosion.
Hopefully the permafrost melt won't release too much methane.
If you are looking for definitive amswers, you migh want to stick to accounting.
In his book Storms of my Grandchildren, noted climate scientist James Hansen issued the following warning: "f we burn all reserves of oil, gas, and coal, there is a substantial chance we will initiate the runaway greenhouse. If we also burn the tar sands and tar shale, I believe the Venus syndrome is a dead certainty."
Ohhh, the Venus syndrome. Sounds scary, quick, let's spend trillions on inefficient energy.
