What happens after we stop emitting and changing our climate? Will things go back to normal, or will the global warming and climate changes we've caused stick around long into the future? And what does this mean for the consequences of climate change - from sea level rise to extreme weather? I take a look at what could happen thousands of years from now, and what that means about the choices that we make today.
