This isn’t moving that slowly any more.
- valval 3y agoIt’s moving super slowly, and if nothing is done by the end of the century, we’ll be slightly worse off than we are now.
- _djo_ 3y agoI can’t tell if you’re trolling, in denial, or just very naive. Climate change is already causing economic damage and the loss of lives. This isn’t some theoretical future problem.
- valval 3y agoYou should read some of Bjørn Lomborg's stuff.
- jules-jules 3y agoMaybe you should say hello to the people of Pakistan for a change.
- r00fus 3y agoUncontrolled fires in the arctic circle along with every continent aside from Antarctica? Yeah, that doesn't sound apocalyptic at all!
- data_maan 3y agoIf living in poverty, without access to various types of medication because our fragile supply chains broke is "slightly worse off", then sure, yeah, it's just going to be slight change
- jovial_cavalier 3y agoTherefore... panic?
- _djo_ 3y agoGiven that such rapid and severe deviations as shown in the charts are unheard of at this scale, perhaps a little panic is justified. It’s certainly worrying.
- zaroth 3y agoTo be fair, this particular deviation we are seeing in the ocean temps was knowingly and intentionally caused by changing the environmental regulations around sulfur content. So it’s a weird state to be in where the environmentalists are pushing dramatic warming policies.
- jovial_cavalier 3y agoI agree it's worrying. Panic to me, though, indicates a loss of your faculties. You still have to be able to assess the situation objectively and adapt accordingly. I guess my point is that hyperbole about climate change (alarmism) is just as unhelpful as climate change denial.
- _djo_ 3y agoExcept that in context nobody, not even the self-proclaimed doomer who wrote the post, is suggesting we all go running around in blind panic with our hair on fire over this. Rather, that it’s severe enough and so far out beyond recorded temperatures that it should be an urgent priority that’s taken extremely seriously. Claiming this is just panic is devaluing the data and an argument in favour of yet more inaction or slow and ineffective action.
- matsemann 3y agoFinally doing something or calling for action isn't "panicking"..
