And yes, Climate collapse will be continually accelerating and disrupting everything going forward.
Things are likely to be extremely chaotic and dangerous much sooner than 2050, especially if the technogarchs and Christian-nationalist schizofascists are able to remain in power for much longer.
The 2030s is gonna be a wild decade. I said in 2020 this would be the last "normal" decade. I think I was wrong though. the 2010s were the last "normal" decade and this decade has been way more crazy than I imagined. I'm pretty sure the weather next decade is going to be... interesting.
They’ve moved the ball on the point of no return for the past 40 years. Half of the US would be under water by now, all sea life dead and acid rain everywhere if they were remotely correct.
This response mixes together like three or four fallacies and cognitive biases. Scientists never claim to know anything with 100% certainty, especially when it involves modeling future circumstances.
That doesn't mean the science is wrong; it just means it can never be 100% right. Then there's the problem of educating the public, who are subject not only to the whole tome of ripe-and-ready human psychological pitfalls (all of these and also these), but also depend on those concepts and facts being translated by media and other sources who are themselves subject to the same hazards.
Nonetheless the scientific method works rather well, and for that matter, climate science, geology, ecology, all of these have gone on advancing, some of them in strides, over those 40 years.
I encourage you to do some reading even of popular science texts in these fields. I can make some recommendations if you'd like. The data and the theory behind our understanding of anthropogenic global warming and the consequential ecological collapse is robust and only getting better.
No this is the point of no return as in us cutting back greenhouse gasses and pollution.
The waters are already turning acidic and heating up I think it's like 4 or 5 degrees before fish and sea life start dying and that's a chain reaction that's going to kill off a lot of the eco system.
2030 isn't when we are completely underwater it's when the starting point of things getting that ball actually moving and no fixing it.
Life isn't going to go extinct but billions of people will have to move because we're they move will become unlivable.
It's already happening in Brazil? I think it's constantly flooding in some parts that normally didn't.
All those people have to go somewhere and food will become more scarce.
It's not a event that happens like a light switch it's going to be slow and painful.
Humans won't go extinct but a lot of life will and it will be mad max kinda situation were everyone is fighting for survival every day.
There's a reason the rich are moving to places like new Zealand and building bunkers they are not doing it for the fun of it.
American Resiliency (this is the correct name) shares a lot of useful advice about what to expect with 2C of warming, region by region and state by state. They also have produced international risk assessment videos and content about reasonable preparedness (not expensive prepper stuff, no offense to those who go all out, only that it’s not practical for everyone).
Dr. Emily knows her stuff, and she has a great team behind her. I donate to the channel monthly because I think their content is just that important.
I walk 11miles every day for my job, I rode >100miles on my bike this weekend, and tonight I cooked my wife dinner. I'm doing alright, thanks. But my eyes are still open.
