All signs indicate that there is a high likelihood that the direction you are going, the time of day, the street that you are walking down, the demographics you are surrounded by and the choice of colors you chose to wear today could result in you getting shot by end of day. “CoUlD” see that’s you, that’s how you sound…

The hits just keep on coming. Climate change is a freight train with no one at the controls at this point.

We hadn't had proper winter for few years, here in Central Europe.

Weather is getting crazy and unpredictable.

I know you might sit comfortable at your home and write shit like this, but do we really have to fry here till we die until people like you finally get it?

Or are you so self-centered that you just simply won't care till it's your turn?

It kind of always was if you look at climate history.

One of the other inconvient truths of life is that we humans were born into a rare and unstable climate. All human civilization happens just in this little Interglacial window of nice climate, but it's kind of always rapidly warmer or cooling with the transitions in and out of the Interglacial being brutal.

Humans sped up climate change, but it was going to happen either way. That's mostly why 99% of all life has been killed off by climate change. Not just from meteors and supervolcanos, but even just the never stable no real balance climate Earth always produces.

We tend to like to think there is some equilibrium and like if we are goo to the planet it will reward us with stability, but that's some very serious wishful thinking once you look at nice cores and glacification cycles ever 100k years with only 20k of climate even close to what we have now.

Humans always had to learn to control Earths climate or face mass death. We made it all worse, but the earth mostly plans to kill us like the other 99%.

The humans who lived through the last glacial period and almost went extinct understood this better than we do now because they saw the much longer and more brutal side of what Earths climate really looks like.

The to make it worse humans need an Ice Age to have the climate they evolved in..and ice ages are rare. about 70% of Earth's existence since complex life is Greenhouse Earth with no polar ice year round or what I call Dino temperatures.

Dinosaurs seems to get a far more stable climat than we did, but not one good for warm blooded big brains that literally need a cooler climate for the big brains to no overheat.

We can turn food to heat, but we can't turn food into cooling so we are screwed for the most common climate the planet produces.

Feel better now?

More like an avalanche. The first few rocks are falling right now, but they will be followed by an inescapable tide of debris coming down.

I think this is supposed to make the Antarctic region colder, because the cold dense water will not be making its way to the tropics. Which also implies that the tropic and equatorial regions will remain warm or become warmer. The juxtaposition of extremes should result in more violent storms for everybody in the temperate zones.

It's horrifying to think about, but in truth it would be fascinating to watch it happen.

By 2050? Phew, I'll be 70. I can treat this with the same urgency my parents did.

Current changing on such a level is going to have to result in significant long-term environmental restructuring

It’s okay. We’ll all be dead in a nuclear war long before that. No worries.

This is terrible. What will happen to the whaling corporations?

Most people are just worn out already. The majority that truly care end up suffering with exo-anxiety and depression because as individuals were already doing everything we can, so we just have to sit back and enjoy the ride (or turn away and look after ourselves)

The constant spill of bad news while informative does nothing as long as it's ignored by the people we elect as our leaders.
