Let's just tip this fucker over

Earth circa 1800: verdant planet, mild weather, abundant resources, sentinels placid.

Earth circa 2020: inferno planet, toxic storms, scarce resources, sentinels aggressive.

Take consolation that as populations die off money will lose all meaning and the rich will have to come up with increasingly novel incentives for their gatherers and enforcers, if they haven't completely automated their resource gathering and enforcement.

I used to intern for a government lab that studied Climate Change and a moment that really stuck with me was when they pulled us all in for a lab-wide meeting, gave brief reports on grants/important research projects, and then the assistant director or whatever started going on and on about ~Our Brand~ and how his big idea was to incorporate ~Data Science~ as the shell surrounding our logo. Motherfucker oozed “Corporate Ladder Climber” and I realized we were essentially putting the fate of the planet into his hands and the hands of people like him, lol

hello friend have you heard the good word of ecodestructionalist accelerationism? throw open the oil wells and dump bitumen onto the reefs. full steam ahead as we create such a fantastic conflagration that it engulfs us in our entirety. let us coat every inch of the planet with our filth such that it will consume us and leave even the nearest orbital bodies untarred by our malign influence.

i recently watched this movie about humanities final salvation in this one final space ship heading to...somewhere. one of the crew is part of some cult that doesn't think humanity should continue and he sabotages the effort by releasing some sort of zombie plague amongst the crew. bruce willis was one of the crew.

How To Interpret a Climate Change Model In Two Easy Steps: 1. find the upper bound 2. it's worse than that, lol


https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-02/sea-levels-are-rising-faster-than-most-pessimistic-forecasts

quote:

Sea Levels Are Rising Faster Than Most Pessimistic Forecasts

...
The researchers built on the United Nation’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s models, many of which only consider the last 150 years, by incorporating data going back several centuries. The new observations show about a half-meter of sea rise by the end of the century can now be expected with just a 0.5 degree Celsius rise in temperatures. Oceans could rise more than 1 meter at 2 degrees Celsius, a trajectory that will be easily passed under current climate policies.

“The models we are basing our predictions of sea-level rise on presently are not sensitive enough,” Grinsted said. “To put it plainly, they don’t hit the mark when we compare them to the rate of sea-level rise we see when comparing future scenarios with observations going back in time.”

Scrolling down a bit from this, I see some excellent news for the optimists to brag about! Joe Biden is preparing to put the full and unlimited might of the United States government to work combating climate change


refugees.

quote:

With warming temperature playing a role in everything from mass migrations (see Central America and the U.S. southern border) to civil war (see Syria), climate change has been a factor in national security for decades.

This week the U.S. finally got with the program. Among the many climate-related executive orders President Joe Biden signed on Wednesday was one directing the federal government to make climate change an integral part of its foreign and national security policy.

What does that mean, exactly? Among other things, the order called for the preparation of a National Intelligence Estimate on the threat climate change poses to U.S. security. NIEs are formal, classified assessments of major security questions, incorporating intelligence from 18 agencies including the Central Intelligence Agency and the year-old Space Force. These are compiled several times a year to answer such questions as how much to worry about transnational organized crime and whether Iraq has weapons of mass destruction.

[...]

It also has legs. “Once that assessment gets done, it is the basis for policy-making for a good chunk of time,” Morton said. Smaller climate assessments done for the Department of Defense are already playing a role in deciding whether to fortify naval bases at risk from rising seas and informing policing strategy in the Arctic now that warming has made it more attractive to U.S. adversaries including China and Russia.

[...]

“National security bodies talk in foreboding terms of waves of migration that could overwhelm nation states saying that the military will need to be prepared,” Buxton added. “In this way the most vulnerable in the world are not only victims of climate change, but now threats too.”
