Reminds me so much of me writing on the Conversation, just to find a guy calling it deranging the real 'problem solvers' on it. Including himself of course. He wanted me to leave it to them, pointing out that he was an engineer and so better equipped to solve it.

makes me laugh, and it made me laugh then too.

long time ago that one, Where I don't find the Conversation to be a place of solutions any longer. Too scared of facts for my taste.

Well, whatever I write here won't change your, and others, human momentum, making my worst case scenario a leading star. You're stuck in this game, leaving your decisions to those with the most to lose on change, including 'faces'. Which in the end means that you're going to meet an extinction event. You using what intelligence you have to make it a sure bet.

A prediction. Which you will see coming true around 2040. I don't think you will be able to lie once passing it, it will be too obvious.

Sea levels, with such a nice visual crutch for our mentally debilitated.

https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/5520


So, yeah, what about it?

This

https://climate.mit.edu/ask-mit/what-are-best-and-worst-case-scenarios-sea-level-rise

"The worst-case scenario, however, is much worse. Minchew says the maximum projection for sea level rise by the end of the century reaches 2 meters, or 10 times higher than the 20-cm scenario. What's especially daunting is that halting greenhouse emissions may not be enough to stop this disastrous outcome."


Really, how about Thwaites then?

I don't know, if there is any collection over water volumes created by glaciers melting, globally, on land and in oceans. Because it all ends in our oceans. If you want a real estimation of those. Maybe you don't?

Synergies and no one collecting them, instead becoming 'isolated' unforeseen effects.

Around 90% of all heat today absorbed by oceans, covering about 71% of earths surface.

Where temperatures should be accelerating as it also is our biggest carbon sink, getting saturated. Meaning that the less our oceans takes up, the more stays in the atmosphere.

Storing, and releasing, heat. For centuries up to a millennium, or so.

So you're f*ed, and there's really no one you should blame for it, unless you start with yourself.

There's still time to do something, but we have passed our chances of stopping it. What's left hard choices all. The worst, the one you're enacting today.

Still, you avoided being dropped in the Wraithwood, as a botanist. Some luck that.

2023   https://www.weforum.org/stories/2023/07/carbon-sinks-fight-climate-crisis/

And still not correct, you need to include things like mangrove forests, needing the oceans but dying, sea grass, shells from diverse marine species disappearing and migrating due to temperatures, acidity, corals and food fish, and other man made reasons.

You need a synergistic approach, and you need to stop misleading people in thinking of it as a result of 'climate change' instead of what really drives it

Us, and global warming

There exist a very simple test of it is us driving it, global warming


Without it we would be a in a slow global cooling, correct?


Use your f*ng mind

And I have a addendum to it called Earth taking over, as with our oceans so with our land. Less carbon sinks meaning a higher concentration of green house gasses, f.ex freeing methane deposits in shallow oceans, as in the Arctic, and tundra etc etc. And then the question of how many new carbon sources it may create, deserts instead of topsoil as one example.
