People are acting like it's not a problem, but if we have just one more downgrade of that magnitude, we'll be in big trouble

    Yeah, at that magnitude loss one more and we'd only have tens of millions of years left.

    does that mean I can quit my job and go on a hedonistic rampage?

    is that going to take longer than 30 years?

    Nope. One more downgrade like that and the collapse of the solar system will be 88 billion years in the past. It'll collapse before it even formed, and none of this mess will have happened in the first place. Come to think of it, that doesn't sound so bad. Since it precedes the big bang, that might help with damage limitation.
