The only kool aid you can drink is that the problem is not as severe as someone says.
In the meanwhile we are having a drought in Italy, that will decrease our agricultural production by 30%,some zones by 50%.
Of course, we have a problem.

I thought it meant that you were laughing like haha (a leas in Brazil)
I didn't know it had bad connotations
The paper explains that, by adopting a systems analysis, it is possible to see how “the crossing of one planetary boundary systematically results in the crossing of others”. They are crucial to providing a ‘safe operating space’ for human societies to develop within a stable earth system, “with the passing of these boundaries subsequently, and most likely resulting in societal destabilisation and potential GCR events”.
Global Catastrophic Risk (GCR) events are defined as those leading to more than 10 million fatalities or greater than $10 trillion in damages."
We should stop being in denial about this and think about adaptation strategies and, of course, force the industry to change.
It seems like the Fermi paradox has a reason, after all.
Especially when we are trying to modify something complex as our climate.
We have to consider every scenario, if not we are the one deluding ourselves.
The world will not end when we warm beyond 1.5°C. What will happen is that more people will suffer and die along with countless other species we share the biosphere with. Some tipping elements in the climate system may be activated such as the disintegration of Greenland and Western Antarctic Ice Sheets."
There are other feedback loops which can be activated like the permafrost one. https://www.thearcticinstitute.org/global-carbon-budget-perm...
I hope this will be proved in a definitive way.
The drought is connected to climate change and a few days ago Marmolada glacier collapsed killing 6 people and other 10 dispersed.
I don't want to ruin it for you but tennis will be the last of our problems...
Here in Italy we are having one of the most severe drought in years, one of our glacier has just collapsed killing a lot of people and we are thinking about...tennis?
(a very cruel and bad taste joke)
That was pretty much a nightmare. With relatives and friends accusing me of being lazy whilei couldn't even walk.
In the end it turned to be lyme disease and pots (disautonomia)
I've got a long cycle of antibiotics for lyme disease and they helped me a lot.
But pots remained, I am still taking drugs for it. I'll have it all my life. But I've found I can manage it through exercise.
Before antibiotics I was so tired that any amount of exercise would bed ridden me for weeks. I was very ill.
Here in Italy ENEL (the major electricity provider) proposed a huge investment in renewables that could decrease the cost of electricity by 40%, create 80.000 jobs, just by authorising renewable projects which are already proposed and waiting authorization. This would increase the percentage of renewable energy to 70%.
This is not impossible at all.
I've nothing practical to say that the book taught me but the consequences in real life of what dostoevsky has taught me are innumerable and at the same time too subtle to talk about them. I learnt the meaning of love (a romantic and deep one) but also the meaning of hate, self destruction. What nihilism is and what are its consequences. Human spirit is complex and I feel that today's society tend to simplify it in a very rough way.
He is the inventor of the triple abx therapy for H.pilory so I would listen to what he says.
The prevalence of autoimmune diseases went up during a particular period of time while hygiene increased while other factors went missing that seems important for the regulation of our immune system.
Of course if you consider a scenario of +6° we are talking about billions of deaths.
The problem here is the food crisis which will come and its consequences.
And, by the way, the scientist is an ipcc reviewer which is the principal authority about climate change and part of ONU.
The science is pretty solid and we are not talking about a few million deaths (a few if you aren't included, of course).
Because over 1.5° we will hit points of non return and feedback loops like the permafrost one. There is no coming back after that, we are talking about a food crisis. We are talking about parts of the earth which won't be possible to cultivate.
Reading the comments here is like being on the "don't look up" set, and it's not funny.
Google feedback loops permafrost,please.
Putin was very nervous about Navalny smart system because it was working. He put pressure on everybody, Google apple and telegram.
Their reputation is tainted forever.
