Oh great, instead of +4C we're on track for +3.4C
Keep doing sarcasm like that and we will see +3.4°C turn into +3.8°C.
If we suddenly decide to stop spewing record amounts of greenhouse gases then we might have a small chance... But that needs to be a quick decline which we have simply not seen.
It's not happening. We fly more planes than ever, and we send more container ships around the world than ever. Besides those, CO2 is just one greenhouse gas. Methane is another major contributor to the greenhouse effect.
Whether we prevent further warming is even kind of a moot point now. We've already got a certain
Then there's loss of ice cover, which creates a feedback loop of further absorption of sunlight (heat).
We're already living in the world created by climate change, and it's just getting started. It's clear that our built environment is not prepared for it at all. Who knew that some of the earliest climate refugees in the US would be homeowners who couldn't get insurance?
The video above gives false hope. With extreme and increasingly unpredictable weather, it's only a matter of time until we get a major crop failure. How many of those can the system absorb?
Don't forget, all the stuff in the video is being implemented basically to prolong the happy motoring lifestyle. That's awful for the environment even if it's EVs
Well fuck, might as well give up then, eh? You evidently have...
I would suggest you listen to the Nate Hagens Podcast. "What is to be done" is pretty much the topic.
The video does not give false hope. There is hope. We won't escape disaster, but we have the power to reduce the magnitude of the disaster. Giving up is what's deniers do to justify not changing anything, and is a very dangerous stance to take.
You may take some solace from the Great Simplification with Nate Hagens
He's focused on building the world that comes next
I'll take a look, thanks.
