Unprecedential Distinguished Doomer, born at 320 ppm with population at 3.3 billion, It’s the Overshoot, stupid. Humanity may be doomed, but we don’t need to lose our humanity.
We now have official U.N. verification that we will pass 1.5°C. Instead of ignoring climate scientists, climate data junkies, and doomers, the internationally renowned U.N. will be ignored as well. Welcome to the end-of-civilization party. We have cookies for now.
Now the U.N. says we’re going to need to go to 1.8c. “But we can roll it back.” Mother Earth says, “I know you're not asking for an extension. I don’t like being taken advantage of. Do you know what I have to do if you don’t settle your current debts? I’m going to have to kneecap your species.”
There‘s these carbon offsets? FF corps can buy CO2 credits for things other people do: planting trees, manure management... They extract oil and say they‘re CO2 neutral. It is like a serial killer saying he’s murder neutral because he offset his murders by paying other men to impregnate women.
The only thing the climate movement is moving is the goalpost. We crossed 1.5c. That’s ok because we can still take action. We can’t stop climate disasters & suffering, but we can lessen their impacts. Climate action is now disaster management, crash landing prep. Everyone, take the crash position.

Climate optimists say we need to give the public hope. But they’re wrong. The public has plenty of hope. They hope they don’t have to be inconvenienced with all that annoying global warming stuff. They hope they can continue living their best carefree fossil-fuel-intense lives.
Climate optimists want a participation trophy for just trying even though they’re failing miserably. Sorry losers, “A” for effort ain’t cutting it.
Anti-doomers say it’s wrong to be a doomer because we’re not going to collapse tomorrow. They want you to see that we still have decades of failure ahead! 75% of the podcast says how screwed we are. The counter argument is “if only” and we need to demand more. She spent the hour justifying doomism.

Scientists are trying to tell us that climate change is happening faster than predicted, and that the public don’t understand the imminent danger, but the media refuses to put them on air. Why? @ProfBillMcGuire is Emeritus Professor of Geophysical & Climate Hazards at University College London.
What the hell! I did all the climate change reducing “thingys,” and I all got was this smug sense of moral superiority. For some reason, the globe was not impressed and is still warming.
On this day in 1933, Nazis raided the Magnus Hirschfeld library in Berlin. The world’s greatest collection of LGBTQ books and scientific papers were looted and later burned, erasing decades of research into sexuality and gender identity. ‘Where they burn books, in the end they will burn humans too’.
“The 118 million tons removed under Plan A are … put back into the program in the form of a Manufacturing Decarbonization Incentive(MDI)…set aside for…certain industries (e.g., refineries) that make qualifying decarbonization investments (e.g., heat pumps, electrification, on-site renewables).”

The IPCC can only meet targets using unproven & undeveloped CDR. This is built into their scenarios. This is unbelievable!!! “CO2 REMOVAL (CDR) cannot substitute for immediate and deep emissions reductions, but it is part of all modelled scenarios that limit global warming to 2°or lower by 2100.”

I will never understand the hypocrisy of those prominent climate scientists (you know who) foaming at the mouth screaming about how doomists prevent climate action. They say nothing about their own people, the moderate liberals, who explicitly say we should not to talk about climate change. Unreal!
Ross Macfarlane@rossmacfarlane.bsky.social · 4mo agoI wrote a piece about the need to end climate silence. Don't listen to the "climate hushers" -- people telling us to ignore the crisis & only focus on affordability and "kitchen-table" issues. Instead, connect climate and our fossil fuel addiction to the issues that voters care about most.

We need so much copper for the energy transition that an old, dormant mine in Utah has reopened. A recent study found that, in the worst-case scenario (which is on the path we’re on), we’ll need 373 new copper mines by 2050 to keep up with demand.
