Just as when using country's as Australia and Canada as canary's in the mine you can use this as a description of how people will behave once global warming starts to make life unbearable..

I use to say I don't need a pointy hat to see what's coming.

[yor_on]

Do you?

Here's the dream, and a study.

"  The report finds that, despite a brief dip in carbon dioxide emissions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is still heading for a temperature rise in excess of 3°C this century – far beyond the Paris Agreement goals of limiting global warming to well below 2°C and pursuing 1.5°C.

However, a low-carbon pandemic recovery could cut 25 per cent off the greenhouse emissions expected in 2030, based on policies in place before COVID-19. Such a recovery would far outstrip savings foreseen with the implementation of unconditional Nationally Determined Contributions under the Paris Agreement, and put the world close to the 2°C pathway. "

That was 2020. Today 2021 it's already dead.  https://wedocs.unep.org/xmlui/bitstream/handle/20.500.11822/34426/EGR20.pdf?sequence=1&isAllowed=y

And with all countries throttling up their businesses as fast as possible, once Corona takes to the back seat.

Well, we missed the spot again, and we will keep on missing it. Connected to dreams and ideals, a game of inequality coupled to the GDP and your greed. Sharing won't happen, you accepting a thinner wallet won't happen either. The game will go where it sees a profit meaning that no real infra structural changes will be made, unless they present a profit.

[yor_on]

No, no pointy hat needed for this.

[yor_on]

And there will be no wand to waive to make it all good. Although your politicians will keep on waiving theirs.

[yor_on]

This is what I would call a joke, a article written by the blind, for the blind. It's not about its facts, it's about how they get interpreted, through this game of inequality that we play. The game that has nothing to do with reality, the game that has taken us to the brink, possibly already past it.

You can throttle up your economy as much as you like. It will only hasten global warming, top soil, oceans acidity, migrations, water and ground water, species extinctions. And once it done it Corona will look as a weak joke. And your kids future will be gone.

Calling China a new economic leader becomes a really bad joke. China has no choice, either the leader ship and their elites deliver the western dream, or they fall apart in insurrections and civil war. And one of the recipies when you're close to this is searching for a villain, like Taiwan, and then ...

[yor_on]

But it is nothing they see themselves. They probably would read that article and congratulate themselves to a job well done.

[yor_on]

It will be our final 'feeding frenzy' and it will look good for some decenniums.

[yor_on]

It will also be our final nail in the coffin.

Another study, from The World Meteorological Organization.

" Scientists say average temperatures around the world are already at least 1 C higher now than from 1850-1900 because of man-made greenhouse emissions. The Geneva-based WMO said there's a 70% chance that the 1.5-degree mark will be exceeded in a single month between 2020 and 2024. The five-year period is expected to see annual average temperatures that are 0.91 C to 1.59 C higher than pre-industrial averages, it said.

The forecast is contained in an annual climate outlook based on several long-term computer models compiled under the leadership of the United Kingdom’s Met Office."

And the figure is wrong. 1 centigrade.

closer to 2 would be correct, from 1850, at least for Sweden and Australia

[yor_on]

 " The Copernicus models combine data from scientists in the U.K., France, Germany, Italy and the U.S. The agency, which uses billions of measurements from satellites, ships, aircraft and weather stations around the world for its monthly and seasonal forecasts, concluded that 2020 matched 2016 as the world’s hottest on record. Global temperatures are now just 0.25 degrees Celsius shy of limits set by the Paris climate accord.  "

I'm getting so tired of you. There are no excuses. You're just another animal, intelligence is nothing you use.

[yor_on]

As far as I'm concerned we're all in a war for our existence. But you're blind, and your politicians even blinder. They're scared, and they don't want to see. It's not a depression you will meet in thirty years, it's the end of the game. What it will do to civilization? That's hard to say, I expect it to 'dismantle' itself, slowly but inexorably  And looking at the way we act it should mean a major tipping. You won't come back from that.

[yor_on]

That's what I mean about studies. As long as you don't act on them they just become words on a paper.

Don't mean a thing.
