Good morning climate change thread, guess what... I made another human! :)

But more on that later. Did you know there's a thing called a steam steriliser, a big plastic container that you fill with water and plastic baby bottles and then wack in the microwave for 5 minutes? And then after sterilising the baby bottles every single day, they go in the baby's mouth? I'm sure this has no downsides

I finally caught up with some of the content recommended by this thread.

I watched "Planet of the Humans" and it was good. It was very much like Bright Green Lies in content, but delivered in a much more compelling manner. I would still have liked more data, fewer anecdotes, fewer 'gotcha' questions, but it was good enough.

I also watched this about Abrupt climate change, it was fascinating and rather compelling. Also scary. I love the constant dunking on miami though

And finally i watched this. Also very good! It gets a bit weirdly theoretical at points but otherwise is very compelling, and gives me the strongest sense that this was always inevitable

I want to see wild insects on there, but I suppose that undercuts the message of "wow that's not a lot of wild animals" by replacing it with "wow the planet is made of insects"

Without giving a spoiler of more than the basic setup, many staple foods vanish because of a blight and the world does not take it seriously until it's way too late and the UK decides to respond by locking down most urban areas and then nuking them, in an effort to preserve the much more limited rural population in what will be an almost impossible to feed world.


I've been pondering this overnight and it occurs to me that this is wildly unrealistic, at least in today's world. The British government would never be capable of such pragmatic forward planning.

Under the Glasgow climate pact:

* Countries were asked to republish their climate action plans by the end of next year, with more ambitious emissions reduction targets for 2030

* There is an emphasis on the need for developed countries to increase the money they give to those already suffering the effects of climate change - beyond the current $100bn annual target

* The language about coal has been included for the first time ever in a global climate deal

* A pledge in a previous draft to "phase out" coal was instead watered down to a commitment to "phase down" coal

best part of threads it the women who's only movie credit on IMDB is from threads as "woman urinating on herself"

That entry is really sad. The little bio says she dreamed of being an actress. And that was the only acting credit she ever achieved. Then she died. And now the Internet has immortalised her life in imdb in those facts. Imagine leaving that legacy.

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

Can you quote the bits of the report that say/imply this? Not that I doubt it, but I'd have no idea how to go about finding it myself, and I want the primary source so I can go around crack-pinging people with it like someone on a deranged shooting spree
