      And they will just call people who care “doomers”, and go on with their business as usual until we all burn.

      The lake, the sea: the tireless gloves…
      Where nature’s hand.
      Still holds her sceptre far above…
      Her bastard, man.
      The shore where centuries of sand…
      Through waves have raced.
      Invites a swim, but think where man…
      Deposits waste.

      The short version is as the title suggests, warming accelerating pretty dramatically, and based on recent studies we’re fast approaching a hump that if we cross over, would likely result in a runaway situation that could not be fixed on human timescales. It’s getting so bad even business analysis of the issue is suggesting drastic changes, such as not waiting for market forces to transition away from fossil fuels, but instead suggest governments globally super-charge the build-out of renewable energy sources.

      What isn’t said in the video: Basically unless we get off capitalism very soon (especially combined with the knowledge from a different study that suggests the atmosphere may become toxic to humans in the later half of this century), we’re potentially looking at mass extinction much sooner than expected if we continue with our current way of life.

        The sun will burn a hole right through…
        Your parasols.
        The clouds so sick they’ve split in two…
        From aerosols.
        The air will fill your lungs with fists…
        For ev’ry breath.
        'Til future days when life exists…
        To mirror death.

          Pretty much all industrialists, tech-bros, and billionaires will be screeching that the world over, as there’s virtually no place left that isn’t chock full of multinational corporations. I guess they turned out to be the final boss for humanity.

          I’m rooting for us pulling through, but it’ll take global grassroots organizing, militant unions, and a shit ton of mutual aid to prevent them from literally killing us all due to their mindless greed and lust for power.

      It’s probable that cutting sulfur emissions of marine fuels in the last years have reduced earths reflectivity, explaining the observed change in energy balance and the speeding up of the heating process -> “lost the Parasol”

    Parasol = sulfur dioxide acid rain producing dirty bunker fuel

    Lower sulfur fuel was finalized in 2020, but started in 2000. Lower cloud formation was instant. Rather than glorifying the acid rain parasol, a more likely progression of global warming is as a step function of El-nino events. Ocean warmth increases and stabilized temperatures to a new plateau each time.
