    Weather you like it or not, we have a mountain of hard choices in front of us. And nobody seems willing to climate.

    It’s probably the methane leaking from the poles that everyone has been saying will cause unexpected bullshit for decades

      That’s the sort of comment that gets brought up on the news following a shooting. We won’t allow talk of “making lists”, especially in the context of your other removed comments calling for violence.

        You don’t seem to allow much of anything, lately. It’s all remove this, ban that.

        Your instance truly makes Lemmy feel like Reddit at its worst.

    I watched a video on Youtube (so take it with a grain of salt) that claimed that the current climate models don’t take into account the reflectivity of the clouds. When these are included, the models appear to be far more accurate. (I only have a passing interest in the topic, no expertise, so I likely misrepresented the conclusions. If you are interested more watch the video yourself.)

    Maybe the molten core is boiling and slowly rising to the surface, resulting in increase of temperature.

    When a year or month is not as warm we always say “you can’t judge on a single outlier, the average is upwards” Maybe 2023 will not turn out to be an outlier and it needs to be examined of course (and I know people are) but there’s also no need to immediately go to “we’re in uncharted waters.” Not to mention weaselly headlines like “we could be…” immediately make me lose all confidence in the author.

    Media sensationalism is part of the problem even when we think they’re agreeing with us.

      It’s the scientific community giving an exasperated “we’re fucked”, my guy.

      It’s all outliers and constant “once a century” weather events these days.

        Yup. These are expert scientists with their hands up in the air explaining how this shit is exponentially hitting the fan.

        This is an inflection point. The fire alarms are blaring.

        They should get every penny of funding available to deal with this.

          It’s not just about funding the scientists; it’s about defunding the pollution (e.g. quit massively subsidizing roads and parking).

    It’s AI, cloud storage, and cellular internet. That’s a whole lot of microwave radiation and straight thermal radiation that didn’t exist ten years ago, and it’s growing fast. The additional heat build-up from our tech is outstripping our ability to compensate for it.
