I do not feel or spead fear about global warming, i'm no street gluer, evangelist or greta-follower in any way.
The numbers are just suggesting we're going over the tpping point faster than expected, which matters quite much.
That's the message. Please ask before assuming anything. I'm communicating in a very un-implicit manner, your projections don't work in this case.
Happy to know that you don't
fear warming. Sorry that I implied you having that emotion. It was out of the experience that most people posting stuff about it have a kind of fear too..
However reading your posts led me to believe that you are at least quite worried... would that be wrong as well?
I'm impressed, and not in a positive way, about the growing list of "unconvenient" data. You can say i'm worried about the burdens that will be put upon us by politics. Stupid leaders influenced by "the economy" and greed. No, i'm not positive about that.
I would love you (as a fellow human being) not to live in constant fear or worry about anything. Life is short, and only a very few assholes deserve to live in constant fear or worry. I feel that you aren't one of those assholes..
I hope so too
Fear is coming from the inside, and i got my experiences with it about 25 years ago. However, fear has its uses, so it's not bad per se, but that's another story.
Regarding tipping points... good luck getting those right with computer models of non linear chaotic systems to which we don't even know the correct inputs
Afaik tipping points are nothing new in climate science. Almost every ice age, for example, has them with abrupt warming events...
Irreversible.. maybe in our life time... but "serious" forecasts of said systems of 1k, 10k, 100k years into the future give me a warm inner chuckle of seeing a toddler pretending to be reading a book.
Yeah, tipping points are highly theoretical subjets, but the warming is somewhat latent and also shows a good degree of "snowball effect", so if we completely stop CO2 production, the warming would still go on for a long time. The models can't respect every parameter, if already known, and Methane shows to adds a surprising lot to drive the warming even further. You know how the onset of an exponential up-curve looks like. We're still early but we can't do much about it to slow it down.
Regarding that lifetime aspect: You're right. Do you have kids btw?
