Got it Archimid. You've said your piece.
I hope that for as long as the evidence holds and I have the strength to keep saying it (and Neven lets me) I will keep saying it. I hope the evidence changes, if and when it does I will change my mind. Right now, given the knows, unknowns and observations, everyone should be alarmed.
Anyone not alarmed is either ignorant about the reality of climate change or a victim of fear psychology. This is alarming.
If the arctic ice collapses and the climate breaks down over the next few years, you'll be on record.
The arctic is already collapsing and the climate is already breaking down, but because every tic takes 1/70th of your lifetime, some longer, you can't notice it. This breakdown was very slow, until about the middle of the 00's when it picked up speed. Now things are collapsing faster, forcing faster collapse of other things, all in ultra slow motion to us H. sapiens, but not for long.
"Luckily" as climate change happens more often and in larger scale it is easier for more people to observe it and more difficult to hide their heads in the sand. Sadly, there is a tipping point where climate change is too noticeable to do anything about it.
I don't think there is any reason to keep saying it.
The earlier people know, the more preparation will be done, the more people will survive. The more people understand the danger, the more solutions will emerge.
Right now, everyone is busy solving climate change for 2100, because "this is a problem for our children". It is not. This is a problem for us TODAY and NOW. If we are solving for 2100 we are not solving for 2030, much less for today.
And we are solving for 2100 because the science is assuming a permanence of the world that really isn't there. Abrupt climate change is real and it is already happening.
The research on this is basically non-existent because it is just too grim. If it was just the grimness it wouldn't be so bad, but then you have the chorus of people telling you to shut up because this is scary. They exert real pressure to shut up and not talk about it because it is scary.
This phenomenon happens everywhere from ASIF to the IPCC to the intelligence agencies of the world's greatest countries ( by their own measure).
It can't possibly be that bad... right? Wrong. It is that bad, and if it isn't, we should assume it is because it is going to be very damned bad.
Again I invite you to the effects of a BOE on the climate thread, over at /consequences. Bring evidence, bring studies, bring papers, bring your understanding of how things work. Go shut me up and bring me some peace.
