Mainstream climatology and climate policy is increasingly fanciful. Meanwhile emissions rise. Some of us admit it and try to help each other prepare. That upsets those experts cloaked in the prestige of Imperial Modernity, who demand we submit to the Gods of tech and elitism.
Rising GHGs, declining snow/ice albedo, cloud feedback and decreasing air pollution aerosols mean that the trend can only continue upwards. Large peaks and troughs are normal, mainly caused by variability in cloud cover. Insane trend and rate of energy absorption are not normal.

Does warming stop at impossible net zero? IPCC:
@MarkCranfield_ Well .... That's a great description of how completely and thoroughly fked we are. 😕
Everything seems so black and white. People can believe they're doing the right things. There's a lot of complexity but people tend to think in simple terms.

“I can’t make a precise estimate, but assuming the chilling effect extends to similar efforts elsewhere in the developing world, the potential effect could be in the order of 100,000 avoidable child deaths per year.” spectator.co.uk/article/childr…
The whole thing.
It's unfathomable to contemplate but Gaza and parts of Ukraine and other war torn countries may never be reconstructed because of climate change.
Sorry I haven't properly conveyed this. 10C is the eventual equilibrium warming after fast and slow feedbacks (not including GHG feedbacks except water vapour) if GHGs are hypothetically fixed at today's levels. In the real world, due to warming, GHG levels can only increase,…

This is an assault by a man on a woman. It is quite plain to see. This woman is then charged with assault of him. This dynamic, abuse of women by men, and where women are then painted as the aggressor, is endemic. That he is police just reinforces what the state allows.

It's not a case of believing me or not believing me. I'm not a religious preacher. I'm not right or wrong. I'm simply conveying our situation as it actually is in reality.
"Climate action" is a form of denial. "Climate mitigation" is a hallucination brought on by not having been swept away in a flood.

@Blueoceanarctic @MarkCranfield_ Same. I've had enough internet for one day. I need to remind myself that disagreement need not be the default mode of communication online.
@MarkCranfield_ @DoYouHaveALens I'm not saying you're wrong, but most climatologists seem to be pushing the rapid degrowth solution. You're saying the planet is resigned to its fate at this point and whatever we do is moot beyond minimising the inevitable human suffering that will occur as collapse bites?
Mainstream climatology and climate policy is increasingly fanciful. Meanwhile emissions rise. Some of us admit it and try to help each other prepare. That upsets those experts cloaked in the prestige of Imperial Modernity, who demand we submit to the Gods of tech and elitism.
The drop in the EEI is much more pronounced when looking at the 12-month running average. After peaking at 16.0 HpS in July, 2023, the most recent value from February, 2024 for the EEI is 12.7 HpS. Short term EEI is subject to a lot of noise, that's why 36-month is preferable.
@MarkCranfield_ So…not sure your angle with this… but I agree that regardless what humans do, or don’t do… climate adaptation! is the only way to handle changes. Which is actually hopeful as climate adaptation to date has greatly reduced climate related deaths. Win-win
@MarkCranfield_ Half of the increase, between 275 and 425, is at 350. That was sept 1988. Half of the problem, is from the recent 36 years
@MarkCranfield_ So you are saying that even if every human on the entire planet died in 10 seconds, and all human industrial activity ceased immediately, the Earth is still going to warm to 10C at a rate never before recorded in geological history
@MarkCranfield_ Does this mean we can stop with the de-industrialization agenda now?
Mr Stark from the CCC said the recent shift in political rhetoric, starting with Sunak's speech last autumn around the affordability of net zero, was likely to diminish progress. "He framed net zero as a cost, I see it as an opportunity," news.sky.com/story/net-zero…

@jembendell @RogerHallamCS21 @gailbradbrook @ClareTotty @ZoeatShine @ClimateBen @XR_NYC @XRGreenwich @XRHackney @ProfBillMcGuire @peteralipman The public needs to be warned against having children. This is critically important.

@MarkCranfield_ There's a good book on the American rail system in the 19th century called Railroaded. In it the author documents just how corrupt rail magnates were and how the US government kept bailing them out with public funds while maintaining an uneconomical priv rail system.
It is worth watching this CNN video from the moment Emory Econ Professor @CarolineFohlin came across the violent arrest of a protester on campus and asked the police, with shock, "What are you doing?" That's all that prompted an officer to hurl her to the ground and handcuff her.

@MarkCranfield_ It’s purely academic for us, but: Question: So if todays ghgs will result in 10C but ghgs will inexorably go higher, is the latter built into the former, or is worse than 10C possible the more ghgs keep rising?
