Kew Gardens is a botanic garden in southwest London that houses the "largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world". Founded in 1759, from the exotic garden at Kew Park, its living collections include some of the 27,000 taxa curated by Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, while the herbarium, one of the largest in the world, has over 8.5 million preserved plant and fungal specimens. The library contains more than 750,000 volumes, and the illustrations collection contains more than 175,000 prints and drawings of plants. It is one of London's top tourist attractions and is a World Heritage Site.

This is nice; a laminate of some sort coming off the doors to reveal the hand-painted sign beneath.

The sign was visible in this form for a few years, until it was painted over in the recent redecoration/refurbishment of the building at 36 Park Road, Nottingham—work that likely *wasn't* carried by H. Wiltshire & Sons Ltd. Apart from the date of establishment (1905) given on the sign, I've not found out anything more about the firm itself.

You can trace the sign's recent history via google streetview, including the coming away of the right side of the laminate some time between 2012–14: https://maps.app.goo.gl/EZUnRxG8WncDAxyV6.

...to crossing them..."

“Even with a profound acceleration of action, some Earth system tipping points may be unavoidable,” says #Lenton."

And maybe one final thought:

ALL prevalent #ClimateModels have erred on the low side so far.

Major climate tipping points could be triggered within a decade

We are getting close to triggering irreversible changes that will have catastrophic effects worldwide, according to a major report on tipping points in Earth’s systems

Lese zZ wieder Der #Schwarm. Diesmal fällt mir auf, wie #Schätzing die Ordnung ungebrochen weiterlaufen lässt trotz der skizzierten Impacts des EU-Tsunami u Auflösung der Städte in Ost-USA. Ich glaub, er konnte/wollte da nicht hindenken, was wirkl. im Detail passiert, wenn #Wallstreet + Häfen + #Telekommunikation wegfallen.
Der Grund, warum Schätzing seinen Plot so weiterschrieb – also vor einem organisatorischen Background, der gar nicht mehr existieren würde – ist derselbe Grund, warum es in der Forschung keinen Ansatz zu einem #RCPcollapse gibt.
Das Ende der Fahnenstange wird für unsre wohlstandsgewöhnte Kultur unvorstellbar.

Am nächsten kommt dem Aufruf, zu RCPCollapse zu forschen, noch die 2022 Publikation The #ClimateEndgame von Kemp, #Rockström, Will #Steffen, Jon #Schellnhuber , #Lenton et al. https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2108146119

Auch der Conversation-Artikel von Jones und Will Steffen aus 2019 war schon sowas. Den Artikel hatte ich mal übersetzt https://myworldwidewindow.wordpress.com/2020/03/01/unser-klima-ist-wie-die-rucksichtslose-finanzbranche-vor-dem-crash-es-ist-an-der-zeit-uber-den-kurzfristigen-zusammenbruch-zu-sprechen/

Die Auswirkungen der globalen Erwärmung werden häufig in Geld gemessen, dies erzeugt allerdings Probleme:
- Arme Regionen werden weniger gewichtet, da die Wirtschaft weniger produktiv ist, die Menschen wenig verdienen usw.
- zukünftige Schäden an Wirtschaft sind weniger relevant als aktuelle, da sie sich über weniger Jahre auswirken.

Ein anderer Ansatz:
