Cold on a Cob posted:“Even the experts were just completely surprised by it,” said [BC Premier John] Horgan. “I think all British Columbians fully understand that now we have to better prepare for events like this. But we couldn’t have even imagined it six months ago.” no one will ever prepare for anything because anything we haven't already experienced is unimaginable doesn't matter how perfect the models are, even the most "climate-ready" governments will always be ten steps behind because it's way too costly to prepare for actual worst-case scenarios

Funky See Funky Do posted:Maybe I didn't express myself well. I'm not saying you withhold information from him (since he's asking for it). I'm saying that you give him a chance to think again about whether he really wants to know. If what he knows now is mostly what he's absorbed from mainstream media and pop culture then he likely has no idea just how grim it is. He's probably still in the mindset of 2c by 2100 and that with a little pluck and gumption we'll be able to overcome it. Well I'm not an innocent here or anything, regardless that I do take a somewhat gentle approach (despite appearances?). Really he's part of a group of friends of mine who are remarkably skeptical of climate change. This is not a group where anyone holds themselves back in terms of espousing and defending their views on any given topic. Nor will any of them be particularly gentle in their approach (not rude but conviction is expected). I've only broached the topic when it's come up but I didn't make my personal timeline or how dire the situation is a secret. Mostly no one has pressed me but recently some mild denialism came up which I, of course, quickly moved to quash. His request happened following a discussion with someone else which he was party to, an argument in which really I just laid out a case and in no way crack-pinged anyone. But I did maintain throughout the situation is one which cannot be remediated, so maybe my innocence ends there. I don't like pretending or self-censoring and probably they would all be upset if they found out I did. I'm pressed to find an anti-natalist here who has made more long and passionate posts on the topic than me, but I sure as poo poo just say, "Congratulations! So happy for you! Wow they're beautiful!" rather than begin a lecture. Maybe this is different but only by a matter of degrees. Please seriously nobody be a black cloud in the lives of your family and friends. I think you should speak the truth but time and place and mindfulness are important, yes.

We couldn't prepare for this eventuality because it's never happened before. yeah, normalcy bias clearly affects disaster planning as much as anything else even worst-case scenarios need to fit within a relatively narrow range, and anything outside of that range has to be viewed as extremely improbable and not worth more than hypothetical consideration

Rectal Death Adept posted:abruptly losing the concept of "Cold" seems like one of those things we are going to let take us by surprise as a society despite it being perfectly obvious now that once we store enough energy we just won't have Ice or Winters anymore. this isn't really how our understanding of GCC works. places that get cold will get colder. their summers will be hotter. essentially everything will be extremefied, like 2005.

Ornery and Hornery posted:is there a super straightforward, baby level data dashboard? i don't think you'll find any "live" graphs that aren't just extrapolations based on projections. They also are not accurate, as all ghg emissions estimates are based on reported stats. IE, fudged and made up numbers. you can find all the data your talking about in very unanimated, ipcc reports though. edit: this is what i found in 2 seconds of googling https://www.c40knowledgehub.org/s/article/C40-cities-greenhouse-gas-emissions-interactive-dashboard?language=en_US

Places that get cold will get colder and weather will be extremified Until the amount of carbon and heat reaches a critical point which flips us from a planet that has ice to one that doesn't, like the Late Cretaceous Earth.

Rectal Death Adept posted:Places that get cold will get colder and weather will be extremified well yeah, with runaway warming and co2ppm of 900+, that will eventually be the reality. though there will still be terrestrial glaciers, just very little (high altitude) or no sea ice. Possibly ephemeral ice sheets we don't really know.

please note that policy makers summaries, and ipcc chapter conclusions/abstracts in general are extremely conservative as to 'not make policy people dismiss them outright' i actually got to talk to one of the lead authors for the IPCC 5th report (dennis hartman), asked him basically that: why does the IPCC continue to downplay the severity when it doesn't seem to effect perception he said they're basically chained by government purses to not "create panic" or promote dangerous ideology, not just from NOAA of course. Germany is the second biggest contributor to ipcc money. he seemed really sad and very candid when talking about it Tabletops has issued a correction as of 02:19 on Nov 20, 2021 |

the IPCC reports are also a scale of scientific endeavor we've never done before, the fact its conclusions are as damning as they are in such a short span of time, while going against the ideological grain in fundamental ways, is quite amazing. and honestly they bury the lede more than they even downplay the reality. like random tidbids the ipcc reports say buried deep in there: *there is absolutely no historical comparison to the speed and scale of societal transformation required to ensure our societies survive *if we fail to transform our society so quickly and completely, our existing is unlikely to survive the stress *the future of 2050 will be unrecognizable *One of the most optimistic scenarios possible is that a massive near-turn heat wave kills a bunch of wealthy people and that scares the powerful into actually acting *Another of the most optimistic scenarios is maybe we hit a 7-7-7 jackpot on volcanoes and delay things for 10-20 years *Losing Miami in the next 20 years is an example of a believable outcome without that aforementioned complete societal transformation
