Hopefully life in 2123 won't be absolute shit compared to 2023. Maybe for the surviving people 2123 will be ok but the mass death that seems likely before then

Hopefully life in 2123 won't be absolute shit compared to 2023.
Maybe for the surviving people 2123 will be ok but the mass death that seems likely before then will suck.
- southernplaces7 3y agoAnd what remotely concrete thing makes you so sure that there will be new levels of mass death between now and 2123?
- jvm___ 3y agoThe climate changes seem to be catastrophic and already baked into the system. Geoengineering might work but the fixes won't be equally distributed and the poor will suffer the most. I don't see a way out of a massive redistribution of who lives where, which will come with strife and maybe death.
- panarchy 3y agoAnd there's always the chance that our attempts at geoengineering fuck things over even more. Like throwing water onto a oil fire.
- jvm___ 3y agoThere was a interesting video that correlated the extreme north Atlantic warming with the changes in sulpher content in cargo ship fuel. Less sulpher fuels means less bits in the atmosphere to seed rain and reflective clouds. The good news was that we could seed clouds by just spraying salt water from the ocean. The water would evaporate and the salt would just fall back into the ocean after it seeded more clouds.
