as far as I'm concerned, stupidity is malice

it's getting high on a lot of forest fire smoke lol

bottom line humanity is the real virus on this planet and whatever nature has to do to clean up our mess, I'm all for it

remember there was an idiot who started a huge fire last year or the year before all because of a gender reveal party and he used firecrackers in the middle of a mega drought. I mean WHO CARES about what the gender of your dumb kid is going to be? I would place all these people under house arrest for 10 years they shouldn't be allowed to leave their homes at all. And they can take their gender reveal party and take the fireworks they used for them and stick them up their asses. And put that on Youtube because that would be fun to watch.

yup overpopulation is yet another problem

We need to restrict people from moving into the urban wildlife interface. We also have to curb animal farming and only allow sustainable farming and logging. This is all in addition to weaning off of fossil fuels.

PG&E has done some awful things in the past for which they were convicted. I guess they never learned their lesson. I ask again, why are corrupt companies like these even allowed to exist?

Don, this is just one piece of a much larger puzzle, but I wanted to point out in vivid detail what the real problem is. How we function as an unsustainable society. https://twitter.com/i/events/1424716123728236545 Below is an example, of how in the same country, indigenous people sustainably log and still make enough money to support themselves vs what crazy capitalists who don't care about anything but profit do.

Yes, I've been reading that the fossil fuel cartels are just as powerful in nations like Australia, Canada and Germany. Why else would supposedly progressive nations like Canada and Germany be pumping dirty tar sands oil through pipelines.

Now this next one is going to be a tougher question.....aside from money, bribery, political corruption, why are so many more oil and gas contracts still being awarded, considering that the prices of renewable energy are going down and they result in higher paying higher quality jobs? And we also have nuclear fission, which is much better than any fossil fuel, and have had it for decades, and yet we aren't going in that direction either?

We are well and truly screwed.... I got a 3C rise by 2100 as the most likely scenario from the graphs I looked at.....that would mean that it hasn't been this warm since over 3 million years ago, before a single human roamed the earth? Those were the days of Australopithecus and Lucy living in eastern Africa (Tanzania/Kenya.) Just as a point of reference, Don, how hot was it when the dinosaurs roamed the earth in the Cretaceous and flowering plants did not (could not) exist? This doesn't even mention the massive mass extinction event humanity has caused which is killing off many species vital to our existence (read pollinators.) Once again, we are well and truly screwed.....

Okay so I was reading the graphs correctly. From the report I got that a 3C rise was the most likely outcome, do you concur? 4C is considered the likely ceiling, but who knows at this rate. What's this new report that's supposed to come out in March 2022? I heard that one will be important too.

Fortunately we have conscientious activists like Greenpeace who have exposed the fossil fuel cartels for what they are. They bribe our politicians and lie to us, they have no intention of reaching any "targets" in the taped recordings they revealed they just say these things to try to improve their public image. That applies to the entire cartel. And only the idiots believe them.

Chevron's entire board needs to be in prison for what they are putting lawyers through who are suing them for dumping toxic chemicals in third world countries like Ecuador which are killing people.

The thing though is that there are those of us who knew all this back in the late 80s, and the people who were denialists then are still (mostly) denialists now- with a few exceptions of course. You can't change the minds of deniers, you just need to wait for them to die off. I wish they'd use much stronger wording (I think they did in the report but not a lot of that was mentioned in the media) basically that this is an extinction level event that if we dont change our ways as a species our time on this planet will be extremely limited. That's what needs to be said.

I mean plant based is mentioned in the report and it's also better for your health but unless we switch over more rapidly to renewable and nuclear then it won't matter at all.

Isnt Chevron the company that's bribing conservative judges to put lawyers who are suing them under house arrest?

Since they specifically mentioned central Antarctica I wonder if they found the difference to be because Antarctica is a continent vs the Arctic.

Don did you see the graphs of the different temp rises with different emission rates? Would you say the most likely scenario is a 3C rise before stabilization occurs (if we achieve net zero by 2050.) What kind of devastation would we see by a 3C temp rise? By the way we need to cut down on both CO2 and Methane, otherwise all the efforts will be a huge failure. They also mentioned a 2 meter sea level rise by 2100!

The new IPCC report is out- it's bleak. https://twitter.com/i/events/1424568170749202438 The only way to stop these corporations is to execute them with the death penalty and to organize a Nuremburg style court system on them and seize their property and all their assets and to utilize the military on them to destroy them to smithereens and round up their leaders and imprison them for the rest of their lives. Money constitutes power and the only way to destroy power is to bring the force of arms against it. The fossil fuel cartels must be declared enemies of the planet and of humanity and be punished accordingly.

Is that for Vostok? They're usually the coldest place there.

we better not be waiting for 2060 to make some big changes.

We usually have a nice July 4th, with Memorial Day weekend and Labor Day weekend more likely to be rainy. A few years ago, we had a rain out for all 3 days of Labor Day weekend!

what seems reasonable is that Antarctica has better ice retention because it's a continent.
