Trajectories of the Earth System in the Anthropocene

[Old Rocks]

Every decade we get a clearer view of the future, and that view gets increasingly bleak;

We explore the risk that self-reinforcing feedbacks could push the Earth System toward a planetary threshold that, if crossed, could prevent stabilization of the climate at intermediate temperature rises and cause continued warming on a “Hothouse Earth” pathway even as human emissions are reduced. Crossing the threshold would lead to a much higher global average temperature than any interglacial in the past 1.2 million years and to sea levels significantly higher than at any time in the Holocene. We examine the evidence that such a threshold might exist and where it might be. If the threshold is crossed, the resulting trajectory would likely cause serious disruptions to ecosystems, society, and economies. Collective human action is required to steer the Earth System away from a potential threshold and stabilize it in a habitable interglacial-like state. Such action entails stewardship of the entire Earth System—biosphere, climate, and societies—and could include decarbonization of the global economy, enhancement of biosphere carbon sinks, behavioral changes, technological innovations, new governance arrangements, and transformed social values.

We must learn to adapt to our environment like humans have always had to do. We are not in charge of the Universe or even this planet and we must adapt or die.

We cannot adapt fast enough to keep many from dying. We may not be in charge of this planet, but we are changing it in ways that are not wise.

Is that what you want for your fantasies?

We can't adapt fast enough, but sell your life and soul to us anyway.

Fucking doomsday cultist.

You want that to fix your fantasies.

Uh huh.

When did CO2 start becoming a driver instead of a laggard? 450,000 years of data has CO2 lagging?

You hate CO2 but love Chinese CO2, why is that?

Truly stupid shit!

The lies and garbage modeling crap rears one again.

There is NOTHING unusual happening today, this after 25 years of failed doomsday prophecies and the stupid goalpost moving and excuses that abounds over it.

Major Tornadoes declining for decades. no increase in hurricanes, declining wildfires, stabilized sea ice cover, climate related deaths per million down over 90% since 1920, droughts decreasing in the U.S. since 1895......
