Theoretical rises in sea level, irreversible runaway effects, some actual 'doomsday' scenarios (e.g. the clathrate gun, algae blooms, jellyfish blooms, etc.)
Really this would require some research. There are a lot of models, and I frankly am not sure which are more accurate.
- titojankowski 9y agoYeah that sounds like a cool tool. More like Clathrate Fun! Maybe turn it into a game haha. Anything else you’re curious about regarding climate change?
- Ancalagon 9y agoI also would like to see some in-your-face actionable advice for the average user. I give a fuck now about climate change, what can I do, really, to influence a change in this and prevent doomsday? You could do something similar to what FFTF did for net neutrality.
- titojankowski 9y agoThat action list sounds great, want to continue building that out on the site. Checking out FFTF now: https://www.fightforthefuture.org https://www.fightforthefuture.org
- safiume 9y agoCheck out ONC's technical wiki: https://opennanocarbon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REF/pages/210698241/Climate+Change+Data https://opennanocarbon.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/REF/pages/2... Linked and referenced. The biggest and most immediate problem is we've put too much carbon in the air to expect the natural carbon sinks of trees, land, oceans, the biosphere, to absorb it before runaway effects start unlocking vast prehistoric amounts of carbon accelerating climate change https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/01/24/575220206/is-there-a-ticking-time-bomb-under-the-arctic https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2018/01/24/5752202.... The sooner we lock up carbon, the sooner we get out of the danger of having much high sea levels, and runaway global climate warming.
