@aral Agree 100%@swf folks seem to forget (or choose to ignore) the fact that we purposely moved to the Fediverse to get away from the toxicity and tracking of meta and the x-bird site.In response I've already blocked:@swf@evan@cosocial.ca@evan@evanprodromou@evanp.me@evanprodromou@ohmallory@tomcoates@me.dm@tomcoates@bird.makeup

"It is my genuine belief that the only way we will be able to avoid the worst consequences of this emerging existential crisis is if we create a critical mass of people who demand the changes required. For that to happen, we need to rapidly spread awareness, because the general public still lacks much of the basic knowledge that is necessary to understand the dire situation we are in. My wish is to be part of the effort to change that."— Greta Thunberg, "The Climate Book"#Nature #Environment #Science #Ocean #FossilFuels #GreenhouseGases #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateCrisis #ClimateDiary #GretaThunberg #Earth #PaleBlueDot #NoPlanetB

The broad mechanism behind what will happen if we don't change our ways is straightforward. "If we keep on pumping carbon into the atmosphere, the oceans will keep on warming, sea ice will retreat, ice shelves will collapse, and the Antarctic ice sheet will melt into the Southern Ocean."What we don't know is exactly how and when this will play out, and whether it might be reversible. "This is fiendishly difficult. It requires that we understand the feedback [mechanisms] between the different components of the Southern Ocean."https://plus.maths.org/content/lungs-earth#Science #Math #Nature #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateDiary #ClimateCrisis #Environment

"Limiting global warming to 1.5°C above the pre-industrial baseline won’t be enough to stop sea levels from rising by several metres over the coming centuries."“I think sometimes there’s a misunderstanding that 1.5°C will mean all our problems go away. It should absolutely be our target, but in no sense will it slow or stop sea level rise from melting ice sheets.”The world is currently on course for roughly 2.9°C of warming by 2100. That would lead to the loss of both the Greenland and West Antarctic ice sheets. So if we’re talking about long-term commitments, that’s in excess of 12 metres of sea level rise."https://www.newscientist.com/article/2480666-sea-level-will-rise-fast-even-if-we-limit-global-warming-to-1-5c/#Science #Ocean #Nature #Environment #Climate #ClimateChange #ClimateDiary #ClimateCrisis #FossilFuels #CO2 #Methane
