Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.


As I mentioned in another thread, climate feedback loops will drive future climate warming long after we've ceased putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. Not that I think we're going to stop adding more greenhouse gases any time soon, since there are far too many vested interests for rational thought to be persuasive.

The current studies indicate we're still 1degC away from invoking these feedback loops. In the meantime, more evidence exists of global damage that's already happened.

I thought Russian trolls were supposed to deny climate change?

They went from "It's not real" to "Not enough evidence" to "Too late, it's all fucked up and there's nothing we can do" very quickly, don't you think?

Another super intelligent post, buddy.

kiki's always talked about climate change. But you're too busy spitting your Leftist media induced vitriol everyday to even notice that.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Not due to Global Warming, but heard about Orca Whales expected to die out due to pollution.

I don't think she was ever part of "its not real" or "not enough evidence" about algore's invention.

Speaking of a vested interest having rational thought bounce off its head ...

I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.


I thought we had already invoked those feedback loops?

1) Methane release from melting permafrost
2) Carbon dioxide release from drying, carbon-rich soils that were previously swampy
3) Carbon dioxide and nitrous oxide release from forest fires
4) Re-release of previously-absorbed carbon dioxide from warming oceans

The only one that we haven't triggered yet AFAIK is
5) Release of methane from ocean-floor clathrates

*****

I noticed that they called this age The Anthropocene.
MY vote is still with The Plasticene.

And don't forget albedo!

But that's the ultimate question. Perhaps we'll figure it out in hindsight, assuming we'll have enough time.

Oh yeah... albedo.
DOH!
I forgot!
Nothing like melting ice and carbon soot to make the earth's surface more absorptive.

Did you notice that the first paper brought up the specter of "hothouse earth"?

Sucks, doesn't it?

I try to be accepting of the future, even if it's a dire future that nobody wants. If we're too stupid to ensure our own survival, then we'll die. I regret all of the other species that'll be wiped out, but there will be no people to look back and shake a finger at us, no god to tsk-tsk, and most likely no future intelligent species to puzzle out why we did what we did. Our story will be as if it had never been.
