??? ... David Suzuki ... one of the leading science educators and spokes person for the environment and science has already said .... IT'S TOO LATE ...

He agreed with the majority of scientists and researchers out there that already believe that we are already past the tipping point and that change is going to happen no matter what we do now. His message now is that we should do what we can now to deal with the changes that are going to happen.

At least NASDAQ just hit a record high so the capitalists are happy

All the billionaires are building bunkers.

Pretty sure we're long past any hope of reversing this fuck up.

I really wish we would cut it out with the hopium already.

There’s no approaching, the critical tipping points are well and truly behind us. The next step is nature showing her creative ways to get rid of the pest that we are.

"Approaching"? lol

What about Second Earth?

So, now will people get out of the way of geoengineering research? Or do we have to wait for the actual famines to start killing people?

Ha, fuck that... It was years ago.

"Pretend you're an expert witness"

Welp, we all saw this coming and knew exactly what to do, aaand we ignored it anyway.

Humanity is only as smart as its dumbest citizens.

Actually trying to do something about it. I know it sounds glib but if every person tries to address one of the problems as best they can, the scales start to tip the other way.

Oshen, a British startup, intends to deploy small, self-sailing robots with solar-powered sensors in the subpolar gyre, where they will measure such things as sea and air temperature and wind speed. Marble, another British company, is developing drones that can monitor the position and size of icebergs, the location of the glacier front and the height of the Greenland ice sheet, three variables that are essential to accurately forecast melting.

Both Oshen and Marble say their work is only possible because smartphone technology has made sensors and processing power cheap. Control systems that once required proprietary software can now be run using free, open-source code.

That's really fucking cool

I've been seeing articles like this for at least the last twenty years.

“The mental model of the climate threat among key people—particularly in senior parts of government—has yet to catch up with the fact that the nature of the climate threat includes things like tipping points,” he says. In his view, no government is considering scenarios like ice-sheet collapse with the seriousness afforded to other high-impact risks, such as pandemics. In fact, Mr Laybourn reckons, with the possible exception of the Nordic countries, most governments have not really been thinking about them at all.

Super ironic that the countries that are going to become much more habitable to humans are the ones most interested in preventing climate change.

I’m a bit optimistic that insurance companies raising the alarm might make a difference. Protecting the bottom line is a gross reason to care but caring is good. The natural disasters worsened by climate change are not only costly when they happen, they’re unpredictable. Insurance companies gamble on predictability so uncertainty makes them lose money.

Regardless, the concept is slowly but steadily gaining ground. In July a big conference on tipping points in Exeter attracted actuaries, insurers and pension funds as well as scientists and activists. Emergency services and humanitarian organisations are showing increasing interest, too. And so are the Brazilian organisers of COP30, this year’s United Nations climate summit, who are expected to place particular emphasis on the subject.

I feel like I've been seeing similar headlines for a couple of decades at least, and I think we passed a lot of those points many years back.
