But, of course the climate cultists will continue to use Russia invading Ukraine to push their cult doctrine
Climate change demands same kind of attention, collaboration as war in Ukraine
Three serious dangers have confronted the world in recent years: COVID, the Russian invasion of Ukraine and climate change. Although the COVID death rate worldwide remains over 5,000 a day, international efforts to control it have met with considerable success. But the other two threats are rapidly worsening and need immediate and continued attention.
On Feb. 28, while the world was horrified by the brutal invasion of Ukraine by Vladimir Putin’s military forces, the latest report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was published.
Hoesung Lee, chair of the IPCC, described it as “a dire warning about the consequences of inaction. It shows that climate change is a grave and mounting threat to our wellbeing and a healthy planet.” United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres called the report “a damning indictment of failed climate leadership.”
Unfortunately, Putin’s invasion of Ukraine has largely crowded out other news in most of the world. The invasion, following the long, divisive battle to control COVID, has left people with frayed nerves, too burdened with worries to think about climate change. But the radically worsening climate cries for our immediate and continued attention. (snip)
The unwillingness of many Americans to do their part in controlling COVID raises the deeply concerning possibility that too many of us may also refuse to do what’s needed to stop the world’s temperature rise and the increasingly catastrophic weather events it causes. But our failure would allow a transformation of the world into one that humans have never known and in which we were not designed to exist.
Well, you know, cultists could be as intense as they were with Wuhan flu, wearing their masks everywhere when not required, double masking, going Karen on people Not Complying, and stop using fossil fuels. Make their own lives carbon neutral. They won’t, of course.
Working together, we can preserve much of the world’s climate that we have known, the range of temperature, precipitation, and dryness in which we evolved to best exist and flourish. We must admire Svitlana Krakovska’s unwillingness to surrender to Putin and share her hope that the world will also not surrender in building a climate-resilient future.
Humanity has survived warm periods, cool periods, even a glacial period. A minor uptick of 1.5F since 1850 is no big deal.
Of course white people living in the north will survive, maybe just inconveniencrd. Teach whenbwuoting that 1.5 degree rise shouldn’t yiubalso mentioned that the rate of increase has DOUBLED sincec 1980? And thstvrste increase is still I cresing
Teach any ideas on why the rate of increase is increasing? If so we would love to hear them
John-any idea why you keep talking about rate of increase when the rate earlier in the Holocene was greater than now? Any idea why you don’t realize that “the rate”, whatever it is, is irrelevant? It would be the effect of the rate that would matter. Do you have proof that the rate allegedly increasing is bad, good or insignificant? What if you found out tomorrow that the temp increase was due to some kind of natural variability, of which there are many peer-reviewed papers describing it? Would all of you still be wetting your beds? You should be, because a temp increase is a temp increase no matter what the cause, correct?
Human beings, of all colors, have managed to survive and thrive in steaming equatorial jungles, in bone-dry deserts, and arctic wastelands, and they did so before modern technology.
Mr Dana keeps typing that the species will manage to survive. The argument isn’t that our species won’t survive. It will. But the shocks and costs to civilization are likely severe, just as it would be following global nuclear war. When the Earth was inhabited by 100s of thousands of humans living as hunters and gatherers, as the weather turned cold, they coped or moved south.
It’s estimated that the Earth had 4 million human inhabitants at the transition from the last glacial period to the Holocene. We’ve flourished in the steady climate of the Holocene! Not only has the population increased 2000-fold(!) but we’ve erected massive cities, developed agriculture to feed billions, gone to the moon and explored the cosmos. We’ve used the scientific method to better understand the physical world.
IF we humans limit the temperature increase to what we have already experienced, Arctic ice, Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets and glaciers will continue to melt. We are unlikely to reduce our CO2 emissions and the temperature will increase. Note there’s lag time between CO2 and temperature. Even if we reduced CO2 emissions to zero tomorrow, the Earth would continue to warm until a new equilibrium is reached, that is, until heat coming in equals heat going out establishing a new set point. Over time CO2 would drop, being incorporated into plants, oceans and ocean benthos (and eventually rocks!)
But fornicate it! We’ll all be dead and our grandkids and great-grandkids can deal with it!
Why yes, and as CO2 has increased, so have life spans and the number of humans living on the planet. Evil stuff, I know…
