Summary
Renowned climate scientist James Hansen warns that limiting global warming to 2°C is no longer possible due to underestimated climate sensitivity and reduced sun-blocking pollution from ships.
His study suggests warming could hit 2°C by 2045, increasing extreme weather and accelerating ice melt. The research challenges IPCC models, arguing for a higher climate sensitivity estimate.
Hansen calls for carbon taxes, nuclear energy, and geoengineering research.
He warns of an Atlantic ocean current collapse within 20-30 years.
Wow, wasn’t it just last year when they took the 1.5° target off life support and called it?
Now the 2° is dead? Are we killing off 2.5° by summer?
6C is dead
We either become mole people, dolphin people, or space people
Maybe oxygen clubs will be the new thing in 50 years to get out of the smog/humidity
Apparently some of us “dril baby drill” and we’ll make those profits when we get there
Not a shock. We have not done enough.
If your mean “we” as humanity, yes. If you mean “we” like you and me, then no.
The main responsible didn’t do enough and that’s not us.
Only a few decided to ignore all the warnings, so money could be made.
We should put research into stratospheric aerosol injection. We need an insurance to limit climate change if emissions don’t go down fast enough.
We know it works, and it’s at least not catastrophically unsafe as we have already done it with container ships, and seen it happen at bigger scale with volcanic eruptions.
Pfft, gulf of Amerika will solve it!!
