I'm finding it a little hard to work today with this in my head.

Antarctic ice extent is now 6.4 standard deviations below the mean. That is, I'm reliably told, a one in 13 billion year event.

We're about to see a lot of shit hit a lot of fans. And we are far from ready.

Business as usual is over. Politics as usual is over. We need to be putting our effort into building systems that can help us survive what greed and power and wilful blindness have wrought.

The ocean engine has one "big beast" component, on top of all the smaller components: a sinking of surface water in some places that is very slowly shunted around the deep until it eventually returns to the surface. There is a lot of debate about how much climate change might make it slow down or stop, but the idea that it's even a remote possibilty in the next few decades is very scary. We must decarbonise ASAP.

Forgot to post for some days, things keep happening, general vibe is: oh no

Climate crisis on track to push one third of humanity out of its most livable environment.

One third.

And that's a conservative lower bound. Paper says 3-6 billion people.

Climate Crisis Is on Track to Push One-Third of Humanity Out of Its Most Livable Environment

As conditions that best support life shift toward the poles, more than 600 million people are already living outside of a crucial “climate niche,” facing more extreme heat, rising food scarcity and higher death rates.
