Collapse of Earth's main ocean water circulation system is already happening
Collapse of Earth's main ocean water circulation system is already happening
AMOC is like a massive ocean circulation conveyor belt that moves warm and cold water around the Atlantic. It's failing, and that's very bad.
Don't think I need to summarize this one. This is bad news for everyone.

Basically it's too late to stop the process. Even if we switched to renewables entirely, there will be a lag. That lag is now in a positive feedback loop.

Yeah like the science community was saying 10-15 years ago.
-
I remember some of the early research showing this when I was in college in the late 90s/early 00s. It's mostly following the worst-case scenario models from the time, except 50 - 80 years ahead of schedule.

Whether you can risk it or can't. Its time to disobey our leaders. They dont care. They've built protections for themselves. They plan on feeding us to the storms.
-
There will be no protection or escape from the environmental changes we'll be facing, this is not something you can just wait out in a bunker.

Yep, they'll let the climate kill all of us. Because they won't truly be living either down there. I'm sure all the training courses for guard loyalty in the world won't actually do shit when you're physically down in a bunker without hopes of coming out.
-
They actually need us to do the shit jobs though. It's the ancient tale of the hubris of monarchs we somehow keep electing

Yeah. Anarchy isn't the coordination we need.

I started watching The Nanny a few days ago (have seen a lot on tv, but never everything) and in one of the first episodes they make a joke about being worried about Global Warming. It was lighthearted, not very serious. That was 1993.

If only we knew about this 50 years ago, surely we would have done something!

Fun fact: They knew since the 1950s and have been lying about it for over 70 YEARS!

Well, shit.

Not to mention the tipping point where it is no longer reversible. And even worse, the huge effect that the current has on basically the whole of the globe!
