One of my favorite annoying autist things to do is point out to people when we're doing something mundane that hasn't existed for most of human history. We can very earnestly say that we live in unprecedented times. Everyone else did too but you got to admit cars and planes are still pretty crazy compared to the changes they had.

I like pointing out to people that in just roughly 5 years between 95 and 2000 we went from a network of small communities to a globally interconnected species. Add another few years on and fully replace just knowing what you know through being self taught or person to person teaching to having the entire sum of human knowledge in the palm of your hand

The Apiary near me is about half the size it was since I last saw it a few months ago that's good right.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing. Apiaries will sometimes loan hives en masse to farmers to help in pollination efforts. Pollination management is one of the big sub-industries of beekeeping.

Although why that would be happening in January is worrisome!!

Probably like 12, maybe a couple more. The projections just make it look bigger. "Oh no this island's ice caps are going to melt and raise the oceans twice as much as a broken ice machine would" lmao

Does anyone have any tips of books/resources of future projections of what is gonna happen in the next 30 years assuming the thread consensus of "we won't do poo poo about climate change"?

Most stuff I find is all about "by 2100..." which is probably a reason why people are so not bothered by climate doom.

A quote I've heard in real life many times is "yeah poo poo is gonna suck for future generations".

Bitch you're in your thirties, shits gonna suck FOR YOU, but also especially for future generations of course.

you won't find any books written about something like that because, genuinely, the data and effects continue to get worse at a rate so much quicker than expected that any book is out of date before it's published.

read IPCC reports and know that the data they are based on is nearly ten years old and extremely conservative. subtract 50 years from any effect in the 4ºC range. that's the future.

e: as an example, the warming that's seen on all these graphs published the last couple months was 100% unexpected

Tropic of Chaos is technically about the past, but it does an excellent job of illustrating the subtle pervasive marginal effects of climate collapse eroding society and driving violence and displacement. It focused on the most acutely affected latitudes at the time, but all you have to do is project the same basic patterns a few degrees north every year.

Ministry for the Future has been covered a loot in this thread, so i'll just say in short it covers the timeframe and explores some ideas.

also, not a book, but I found the Hell on Earth podcast's analysis of the of the 30 years war and the sortof slow incremental collapse of the hapsburg empire really helpful for contextualizing 'murica's near term disintegration.

It's not quite what you're looking for, but here's a taste - an old post / book excerpt of mine for fun. Best read on desktop:

Correct. The world beyond 2050 is unimaginable to the modern perspective.

For the short version, see the following article: Life Circa 2050 Will Be Bad. Really Bad.

For the long version, here's the entirety of Chapter 7: Climate Change in the Twenty-First Century as lifted directly from To Govern The Globe: World Orders & Catastrophic Change (Alfred W. McCoy).
