      Well everyone and everything dying will be terrible for the economy long term. But the more important question is: will line go up this quarter?

        Of course it will. It doesn’t have to have anything to do with the “real” world. And it hasn’t for a while now. Because the line must go up.

    I see your:

    grim calculations for humanity if climate change and growth in population and consumption fueled by cheap energy goes unchecked.

    And raise you a:

    Number must go up‼️

    That would probably fix our emissions as well.

    No.

    … and if you believe differently, please cite the relevant sections from IPCC AR6 to support the statement.

    Exaggerating climate science is also climate science denialism.

      Do you usually only read one source and decide that’s enough information or is it just because climate science keeps having worse and worse news that you do this?

        If you don’t know what the IPCC does I think you should study that first and then reply.

          I now know enough to know that AR6 was concluded 2 years ago and since then there has been increasing evidence that our most dire models are actually rather optimistic. Even if we went carbon zero today temperature would still continue to uptick for years do to runaway affects that we were unaware of.

            That’s not how climate science works. The IPCC reports detail the current scientific consensus. Single papers do not change the consensus as soon as they are published.

            IPCC AR6 on the contrary said things are better than we thought in AR5, and downgraded the likelyhood for the worst scenarios to play out.

            Have you read any IPCC reports?

              Have you read the experts that point out the IPCC has continuously been overly conservative?

                You tried friend. Best to just leave this one be. Some people just want to live in their own world and refute reality even when presented overwhelmingly loads of evidence to the contrary.

                You tried save your sanity trust me I’ve gone that road with others before it is not worth your time or energy till they are willing and able to hear you.

                Hope you have a great day :)

                You really don’t understand how the scientific method works.

                That makes you a climate science denier.

      So you just picked one single document and shout down any climate opinion not based on that document? Did you even try reading the post?

      Don’t bother arguing with the doomers here. I think you’re right, but you’re indirectly attacking their nihilism and that makes them uncomfortable. Eventually they’ll find something that makes them want a future or they’ll get old and realize they have nothing.

      They’ve already started. But they’ve been happening where it doesn’t matter much to Western media.

      Except Israel-Palestine. Where water has been used as a weapon. But has been brushed aside by other issues.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
