A lot less time than most people think. Tipping points are being reached. Positive feedback loops are being. It’s going to get faster and faster.

Saving a bit of cash isn’t going to save us.

“We'll go down in history as the first society that wouldn't save itself because it wasn't cost-effective.” Kurt Vonnegut.

 

May or may not actually have been Vonnegut, but regardless this is the truth

Someone just turned $15 into $9600 on polymarket betting on the temperature in london. Surely you've just got to track the tale end of these tropical storms coming over the gulf stream?

You can gamble on the weather now? Good grief. 

 

Tbf I've had flu all week so I can't say I've felt that balmy.

Nah based on mid-range climate sensitivity estimate I expect. Very optimistic would be low end sensitivity estimates

 

High end stimates = pessimisitic. There's a lot of people on social media going for that - based on short term trends.

Sarcasm (from me) doesn’t work very well when written down.

 

From what I understand and have read, we’re in a lot more trouble than most either think, believe or understand

Well like I said there's a lot of that around, and I'm not saying there isn't cause for concern - there is - but still no certainties.

 

I have to remind myself that 10yrs ago I was arguing with deniers/sceptics pointing at short term trends and leaping to conclusions. I'm not going to go back on everything I said about that now

Bit cold at moment so on the sceptical side here

[Skip997]

Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and some countries including the UK want the summit to commit countries to stronger, faster action to reduce their use of fossil fuels.

An earlier text included three possible routes to achieve this, but that language has now been dropped after opposition from oil-producing nations.

UN climate summit drops mention of fossil fuels from draft deal

 

It’s like we actually want to bring forward our destruction 

[steviewevie]

More negotiations didn't get cutting fossil fuels as part of that deal. Sounds like Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, and many emerging countries blocked it. Difficult.

[steviewevie]

..and Colombia have kicked off about it.

[steviewevie]

Basically the global consensus on dealing with climate change is breaking down.

[Skip997]

So “we” as a collective have decided to slowly commit suicide. 
 

The c**ts in charge know exactly how bad things are, there shouldn’t need to be conferences, talks or meetings.

 

We’ve chosen greed over survival.

COP needs US back.
