I have been using RCP 8.5 for all of my long-term decision making (where to move and buy a house, how sustainably I plan to live).
Based off the downvotes I receive on here I think I'm too much of a collapsenik for the average HN poster, but one benefit of being neurotic is that by the time people finally start reckoning with the current state of collapse, I have already made peace with it. The downside is that I become miserable to talk to.
- ben_w 2y agoAlthough I'm fairly optimistic about carbon, I think we need pessemists to get any stuff like this done. And we need a diverse set of baseline estimates — yours and worse, not just mine and better — so some of us survive whatever nonsense the next 75 years brings. (I'm also a pessimist about many other things besides carbon).
