  1. The #polycrisis just keeps on keeping on.

    At some point, even the stuffiest climate deniers will have to realize the square peg does not go into the round hole, and the "warm weather" has compounding and unexpected effects here, there and everywhere.

    I am hopeful that when it starts affecting their wallets, they will react, but fearful the reaction will be "we need more coal-powered data centers so grok can solve this issue, and I don't have to worry".

  6. @phil_stevens Its the misallocation of resources which makes me livid. We have a species-wide planetary critical emergency called climate change. Into this we should be pouring all our resource. Instead we have what these psychopaths are doing.

  15. The world inches toward catastrophic climate events: ‘Bigger shocks are on the way’

    The risks have been known, and building, for over 150 years

    NEW YORK (AP) — "In the opening scene of American writer #KimStanleyRobinson ’s 'The Ministry for the Future,' a #HeatWave combined with a breakdown of the electrical grid in India kills 20 million people. The devastation causes the world’s nations to unite to combat #ClimateChange .

    "Scientists have long warned that the world will experience more intense #ExtremeWeather events like #heatwaves, #storms, #floods and #droughts. But what once seemed like the realm of fiction is now discussed as a possibility, even an inevitability.

    "Warning about an 'extreme of extremes' or the 'Other Big One,' a play off the California reference of a big future earthquake, can be fraught. After all, nobody can say for sure when a weather catastrophe may happen. But in the last few years, the planetary ingredients needed for a massive disturbance have been building. And alarm is growing.
    'The risk is that people just think you are exaggerating,' said #DanielSwain, a climate scientist with the California Institute for Water Resources. 'It’s the ‘Boy Who Cried Wolf’ problem. Sometimes wolves are real. If it’s outside the door, wouldn’t you want to know?' "
