Humanity seems to be accelerating towards "more and more "sudden" #Climate impacts that have never happened before"

" #AndrewDessler, a #ClimateScientist at #Texas A&M University, says what is happening now demonstrates that 👉the climate is a non-linear system👈."

"We’re 👉nowhere near a normal, we’re in a phase of accelerated warming,👈 because we are still increasing #GreenhouseGas #emissions. The...

"Each 0.1°C of additional warming 👉will surpass an increasing number of thresholds in the climate system👈. 👉We will see more and more "sudden" climate impacts that have never happened before👈," #Dessler said.

Thanks for so nicely pointing out to me that I forgot his handle. Will try to fix that.

NBD, we just need to make them feel like it's worthwhile to spend some time on #Mastodon

For example, I'd like Dr. Mann, Dr. Dessler, or @CommercialSolarGuy to mention to Duncan S. Campbell that the picture of that black snake in the electrical panel would have gotten more than the few boosts it got on that foul site if he'd tooted it.

They don't need to use "toot". That term takes a while to appreciate and it's fine if not at all

@GreenFire @MichaelEMann @andrewfreedman @axios @andrewdessler @CommercialSolarGuy

True.
Also, I hardly ever use "toot" anymore, as there are so many new #Fediverse instances of platforms other than #Mastodon now.
"Post" is just fine.
