SUPOLI GENERAL RULES:
A 4c world will be quite different and a lot of people will die. Whether France can survive is a question but congratulations for looking forward.
Climate change is locked in and is accelerating while we still refuse to transition to a low carbon economy. We reap what we sow.
France again preparing correctly. Like with most things in the last decades.
That's cool, what about all those feedback loops that essentially throw our ability to mitigate climate change out the window?
Isn't that what the whole 1.5C bullshit line they were selling was about?
1.5c was a goal to allow breathing room to stay under 2c. If we stabilised at around 1.5c we'd probably be able to respond to the changes but it would still be shitty eg continually rising sea level destroying infrastructure stronger rain events, stronger droughts, more powerful cyclones etc
The 1.5c level will likely be crossed using the rolling average method they talk of, in a couple years ie 2028 ish?
At around 2C we'll have crossed to many tipping points and will have lost control, 4c being inevitable and perhaps even 6c, which would likely be an extinction level event for humanity (the seas become hypoxic and plankton die off, no more Oxygen production etc
Well said, it's a very grim situation.
I just feel like the 1.5C target has done more harm than good, it allowed policymakers to mislead the public on climate goals and continue to kick them down the road. I feel like "There is no safe level of climate change, we must deescalate now" would have been a better approach.
But still it's a method of quantifying climate change and I suppose we'd have more denialism if there wasn't clear data out there.
