There are even some pretty funny (retrospectively) quotes in some of these articles where people came up with all kinds of justifications for putting a finger on the scale.

I am almost 100% sure that the unabridged version of that quote about moving away from model democracy to model meritocracy is very specifically about using a model's ability to match past historical data to weight the models in the averaging process. If a hot model says that there was a -5C difference between the years 2000 and 1800 then that is a good reason to suspect that its not totally accurate about the difference between 2000 and 2200.

But also like I said, if you put a snowball in an oven set to 300 degrees compared to 350 degrees it doesn't really matter.

its also not very accurate when different feedback loops are kicking in one by one

there's physically different processes going on now vs 1800. at best we can find a model that matches the current heating regime we find ourselves in. melting and exploding permafrost isn't something you can account for by trying to find an accurate curve for a 1800-2000 model

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
I remember the final season of Walking Dead and there was this walled community that seemed untouched by the zombie plague and subsequent material collapse. Despite all the surrounding communities living in various primitive and depraved states this one community still had functioning trains, stores, radio, hospitals...an actual still functional technological micro civilization with a civil bureaucracy to boot. I think people like that physics lady who are starting to realize poo poo is about to hit the fan think they'll make it out like that Walking Dead outpost that unbelievably retained modernity.

the full article is here and covers a couple different approaches to not using or minimizing the influence of the hot models on the aggregate predictions https://www.science.org/content/article/use-too-hot-climate-models-exaggerates-impacts-global-warming

actually what im saying is that the last round of ipcc predictions looked at the problem and said "Well 350 degrees cant be right, we'll do x and y and z things to make these predictions better" and got a result of like 310. then more recently research has come out indicating its more like 340.

It always amuses me that discussion of different RCPs and SSPs or whatever never tends toward discussing the background extinction rate flying off the charts across basically every segment of the animal kingdom.

Ecological services are the IPBES's problem, not the ICC's. Totally different issue which I'm sure will be fine.

a conversation i had recently

me: man, it's such a warm winter and everything is loving out of whack and nobody is panicking
them: panic? why? that doesn't sound useful
me: "useful" is not the point. the point is that if people really understood the severity of the situation, and how this mild winter is a harbinger of terrible things, there would be widespread panic
them: why isn't "useful" the point? aren't you interested in tangible solutions that will be politically viable?
me: im interested in swerving the car so we can avoid going off the cliff, man
them: oh so you're not being serious about any of this, got it

and then i got accused of turning every conversation about the weather into climate doomerism lol

is it not possible that there is no solution that is both politically viable and also limits warming to, oh, let’s be super generous here and say 3 degrees C? what would they do then? (the answer is they wouldn’t do anything and you’re evil for forcing them to think about it)

the mechanisms by which we could restrict emissions to stay at 3C are the same mechanisms we would use to keep it at 2.5/2/1.5, or even make it go down in the long run. Thus, they will never implement them.

What is the range of sea level rise we can expect to see before 2050 (arbitrary date)? I guess 2030 is a more relevant timeframe considering how fast everything is moving

If there's anything I've learned from the last few years it's that sea level rise - long considered the main problem of climate change - is the least of our worries lol loving lmao

There's enough lag in the system that sea level rise will only come for us after climate volatility has finished off our agriculture. haha. hahahhahahahahahahAHAHAH

That's RCP 8.5. SCP 8.5 is a being that consumes pure denial.


But yeah, there is not going to be any mitigation. Any renewable energy will just get sucked up by shitcoins and LLMs and will supplement and not replace fossil energy. Every economy will grow and their energy consumption with it.

Emissions will go down this century, but only because the human population will go down due to agricultural disruption and war. Humans won't stop, but it will be stopped.
