The air and sea temperatures and the disappearing sea ice are by now familiar signs the climate problem could be much worse than we had assumed. Now this new report gives further evidence that the climate might be more sensitive to emissions than we thought. There's still a chance there might be some other explanation, but it looks to me like vice of certainty is getting very tight.

No doubt it will be discussed on /r/collapse.

That's prescient for me. I just had a beery conversation with chums about how genocide in gaza has replaced climate change...oh and some fake war in Iran, and Israel and their ridiculous god's real estate allotment and Trump and also cost of living and interest rates...and...and so on...

Climate change is so last year!

Except...it's this year and every year for the rest of our lives until we're all displaced and collapsed.

I've just read "Overshoot" (a book from 45 years ago), and I've also digested the summary of "Limits to Growth" (from 53 years ago), and the idea of it being "so last year" is having the opposite effect on me.

The antiquity of our forewarnings also reduces expectations that humanity will get its shit together. It didn't happen in the 70s, 80s, 90s. The 2020s seem even worse for conflict, misinformation, intransigence, denial, stupidity, greed.
