One step thinking is the source of all wisdom. I got paid enough for going no further anyway.

The problem is what you do with that information. They actively funded a misinformation campaign for decades, putting billions on it, to prevent enough action about it.

With this kind of tools you don't need to know all the answers, but know how to make the right questions. Giving the appropriate context is part of doing those questions, be with custom instructions, personalities or similar approaches

It may be more urgent than what the article show. There are multiple positive feedback loops and tipping points once the right (or wrong) conditions are achieved that can accelerate the speed of change. And maybe just a push is needed for t

Didn't we have an April 1st this year already?

Climate will. The monetary system basically is up like that that by pulling itself by its bootstraps. Everyone keeps betting in a better future. What if that “better” need to be acknowledged by most players as worse?

We had extreme outliers corresponding with the same time of the year, but this time the record is compared with the hottest point of the cycle, like breaking all summer heat records in a day of winter (and all winter were nearly as hot). An

A couple of weeks ago happened the same. At least in Uruguay, that typical winter temperatures are around the low 10s Celsius, we had several episodes where temps went to near 30°C. Even we went from a cold wave with near 0C to almost 30 in

Maybe if we keep worsening the problem it will overflow and we end in -maxint soon enough, solving the problem (or at least creating a different one).

With COVID you develop symptoms and realize that you and the people you met almost a week after you got the disease and started to spread it to others. With this is the same, but with years and decades, by the time you notice visible enough

"Because the clock say so". Like in Pratchett's Small Gods, we shouldn't believe in the clock instead of the worrying trends that are unleashing in front of us. There was a lot of political and economic players putting t

A couple of degrees in yearly average of global temperature may mean 15-20 degrees in your local temperature for some day or week.

Triple whammy. Water vapor is another greenhouse gas, pretty powerful as it. And probably it will have local climate effects if not global ones.

Things won't stop changing, and they will do that for worse. That is the scary part of feedback loops, is easy to get exponential. We have feedback loops that increase greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (and don't forget that wate

Global averages are not the same as the temperature you are feeling right now. If that global average rises doesn't mean that your local temperature will rise that amount over what it used to be the same day 100 years ago. You should s

The problem are not yearly averages, but outliers. Never cross a river that is on average 4 feet deep. As long as extreme cold somewhat "compensate" extreme heat your average temperature may not be so different from what it is tod

We kind of do that actually, in the opposite direction. We take long winded phrases and shorten them to something new but carrying the original meaning, like OK or goodbye. A lot of present/common words used to be metaphors or have roo

Climate and the reason that nothing significant have been done regarding that in 40+ years. Problems will not stop to appear while that is not solved. The whole system becomes fragile, and minor disturbances will become major ones.

You can put it as a variant of the Pascal wager. If it is right, mankind may go through hellish conditions for decades and centuries, till extinction. If it is wrong we will have tl go through something like the lockdowns because the Covid

I like the google ipv6 statistics ( https://www.google.com/intl/en/ipv6/statistics.html ). It might reach that mark for 2025 the global 50% mark, but it will be in a very asymmetric way. With just a handful o

As long as we keep not doing any meaningful to stop those records to be broken, is good to be reminded that we are getting closer to hit a wall.

This article ( https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/meet-the-money-beh... ) from a decade ago already set that the money put into this, back then, was in the order of billions per year, between 2003 and 2010. It sho
