Feeling hopeless - I live in a beautiful state that is being ruined by humans
As the title says, this study suggests a Climate Response of 1.9-2.6C, with the best estimate at 2.25°C for a doubling of CO2. The EEI based measurement is the less reliable but in my opinion more interesting finding & direction of research, but their reanalysis of past model runs and removing natural variability from the real-life data is also very valuable.
Ok, last post got taken down, tldr, I think I was dooming more than I realized in that one. But now that Ive cooled down a bit more I essentially wanted to ask, how can I deal with the stress of climate change? Ive already gotten answers like prepping in advance, protesting, contacting my representatives, but I was wondering if there was anything else. Also any positive climate stories or hopeful points of data (a bit of an ask these days, I know) would be appreciated. Something to calm my nerves and maybe things that I can do to unwind myself when I get stressed, thankyou all.
Hey y’all. I have been in a pretty bad doom-scroll for several years now on various bad things but more recently have I been getting a lot of anxiety regarding the climate. I have fears that, as a result of climate change making the world unlivable, I will die prematurely (30s-40s). Not trying to say it will happen, that is what I’m trying to ask. I just wanted to know if, realistically speaking, this is something I should be learning to accept/prepare for or if I’m just working myself up. While this question is slightly personal it’s also more about the overall impacts of climate change and how serious it’ll be for us in the upcoming years. Sort of a basic question but it seems everything I see regarding climate and peoples feelings towards it is different so I’m just asking the hard question upfront. Can/will it become serious enough in the next 20-30 years that many will die?
To those of you who've seen the video or just want a rundown on it.
Dr Simon Clark, alongside other scientists essentially tried to predict the next 87 years of Climate Change
starting with
The AI bubble collapses in 2026
Heat waves across europe and flooding in asia across the 2020s
Peak CO2 in the 2030s
China and Africa becoming trading partners in terms of Nuclear and Solar in the 2030s
Sustainable aviation fuels start becoming popular in the 2030s
Water wars in both Ethiopia and the Fergana valley in 2030s
We hit past 1.5 in the 2040s and gain discussions of geoengineering around then
50% of all nonhuman species goes extinct in the 2050s
Climate Refugees cause governments to shift right as we reach immigration peaks
Fossil Fuel collapse in the 2040s, including state owned companies die out
Antarctic and Arctic Sea collapse in the 2040s
Ecoterrorism increases in the 2040s
Elements of a societal collapse in the late 2040s/2050s
Methane decreases in the 2030/40/50s
China and India almost go to war over tibetan water, almost going nuclear.
We hit net zero around the 2050/60s
We hit 515 PPM as a maximum amount of carbon in the atmosphere
Parts of Florida/Indonesia and all of Tuvalu/Kiribati/Marshal islands are all lost to sea level rise.
We reach net negative emissions in 2080, due to lack of food waste and less meat consumption
The AMOC doesn't collapse, and neither do ice sheets
Ultimately, he sees a world at 1.8-2C of warming by 2100, even if we see 2.7 as the most recent right now, and this is a bad post, I understand but it is by far my most watched video on climate change by my favorite climatetuber, it's what I feel as the most "realistic" video on climate change, it's a very tough, and very real watch, I just want to know if what some of what he's predicted may be true?
