I hate this timeline.

As a long time #climate campaigner... I almost feel like I should be hoping that the Iran/US war continues as long as possible so the price of oil and gasoline can go as high as possible and force economies to electrify and shift at emergency-speed to renewables.

We could have started on this the easy way 30 years ago... but a few of the same people objected and obstructed.

I wish I still had the link.

There's a website which published the predicted major stages of social impacts due to climate change, in about 1996. And it was still up, frozen in time, when I saw it about 2016. The forecasts were the consensus at the UNFCCC in 1992.

And at that time its accuracy was already frightening.

With the new models for sea rise as we have blown past tipping points, we will likely live to see the great migrations begin.

@Amgine some say Syria was the first great migration as the civil war was in part caused by historic drought. But ya, I think we will unfortunately see much larger migrations. (we as in you and I)

70 m sea rise. I keep thinking I should buy land which will flood, and build clam beds, salmon corrals, while it is still dry. Or start terrafarming the alpines.

Of course, if I had money for that I would already have spent it on building social housing.
