Saying something will happen does not mean one hopes that something happen. This happens to me a lot. For example the election. Many times I discussed the US elections with someone and I told them that I thought Trump would win, they would think I was crazy because I wanted Trump to win. That was not true at all. I didn't want Trump to win, but I honestly thought the political climate favored him.
I could have done like most people and just say my candidate would win even if I thought he might lose. In my experience that's what most people do with good reasons. Saying your candidate will win might become a self fulfilling prophesy because people flock to whoever they perceive as winners. But I simply don't like that. If the knowledge I've gathered tells me one candidate will win, then I'll say that. I won't pretend my preferred candidate will win to help gather momentum. I find that dishonest and counterproductive in the long term.
It is the same with the Arctic. It terrifies me to think of the consequences of a blue ocean event. In my opinion the crazy weather happening all over the planet is just the beginning of what will happen once the ice is gone. I expect rain bombs lasting weeks or months, heat waves that wipes out countries, hail that wipe out crops, unimaginable droughts, local mini ice ages and other nasty things. I really don't want this to happen, but at the same time I believe it is already happening. It is just a matter of months(worst case) or a few years before the first BOE.
To be honest, in a way, I do hope the BOE happens soon, but only in the same way a soldier wishes to get the battle over with, even if they feel fear of the oncoming battle. I also confess to feeling a perverse sense of justice. The deniers will suffer from this calamity just as much as everyone else, including me. I know I harbor these feelings, but I'm not proud of them and they are not logical. A BOE will be catastrophic.
But feelings are feelings and there is not much one can do about them except for channeling them productively.
