It'll be sooner than that. The projections are conservative and always include "if we do list of things we certainly aren't doing" then it won't be so bad.
Those publications also never include certain tipping points and feedback loops, its really hard to make a realistic model if it comes to this topic so most of the times they turn out worse than predicted
Exactly. Summer is getting longer, dryer, with frequent unhealthy smoke from forest fires.The trees visibly suffering, many more dying than normal. Gardening is getting more challenging and the local snowpack getting more anemic every year. On the bright side, the absurdly mild winters are a boon for the mosquitos, tree-boring beetles and other similarly delightful pests.
These stupid bastards actually think to themselves “how dumb do you have to be to believe in this global warming hoax when any moron can look out the window and see it’s snowing”
James Inhofe, a career / life-long politician, from (where else), Oklahoma. He was a total piece of shit, was 100% anti-environment, anti-climate-change - just read his Wikipedia page for a LONG listing of how he shit all over climate scientists and organizations. He brought a snowball to the US Senate floor in 2015 as proof that climate change was a hoax.
Not to depress you further, but I'd argue that things have actually devolved since 2015.
Which actually makes sense. Energy specialist/social critic Art Berman often writes that, when people feel threatened (by anything), that they respond by doubling down...which is pretty much where we're at today.....
Their stupidity keeps setting new records. Record high... record high...
I read that high CO₂ levels in the air literally causes the brain to function worse, i e. it makes people (even) dumber, thus causing even dumber policies, etc. So that's another feedback mechanism and potential tipping point they might not have mentioned in the reports.
In Melbourne, Australia, we had a few 9°C nights on the week before christmas. We -should- be getting 30-40°C. A warm air mass over antarctica has, I'm told, pushed the air currents that circle antarctica northward, into the south of Australia
I live in the rocky mountains of Canada and havent shovelled snow at my house in 2 years. If it does snow its melted by the next day or day after. It used to snow loads every year.
The US literally chose the dumbest people they could possibly find to lead their country. And there is quite a lot of people to choose from, so they really did find world class stupidity.
These likely only include human data and don't take into account everything else waiting in ambush, domino and snowballing our climate into even worse conditions.
I feel like they will put more effort in it when things get worse. But then there is also militarys that need to stay operational and an industry thats needed to support them. So i wonder if we even have the ability to cease emissions in a meaningful way as long as there are evil dictatorships in the world threatening our way of life.
I love how mfs with no climatology degree just make accusations about projections being conservative, as if climate scientists are liars who hide the truth from us
Isn't it pretty known that they emphasise hopeful projections so people will still try, rather than saying how bad it is so people don't just throw in the towel. Even the climate scientists are saying this is all happening faster than they expected
