Your 'doom quote' for today:
"The current extinction has its own novel cause: not an asteroid or a massive volcanic eruption, but one weedy species... We're seeing right now that a mass extinction can be caused by human beings."

This graphic shows average Arctic sea-ice thickness (average monthly volume divided by average monthly extent, 12-month running average). October, 2017, saw the minimum, at 1.228 meters. Current is 1.267 meters and falling fast.
What's next? The Climate 8-ball is frozen solid.
We aren't going to win. Every "solution" makes the next problem much more difficult to deal with.
This is #collapse
Collapse will do that to you.
72? It’s 108. So not only are you a privileged westerner wanting to live out an anarchistic fantasy, you’re also just a fucking moron. What you’re smelling is your own pig shit American breath.
I hope you keep this same attitude when collapse reaches your corner of the world.
“Sooner the better” you sound like one of those who think once collapse happens now there be something left to salvage in the aftermath. Collapse is the end of everything.
That’s an ignorant take. You won’t be liking collapse when it reaches your home.
Feeling overwhelmed? That's how they want you to feel. So overwhelmed that you turn off and ignore their disgusting and outrageous acts. Meanwhile they tighten the screws a little more each day until you've lost everything. People can't afford to not pay attention no matter how overwhelmed you are.
Breaking News!
Code Yikes!
Global 2-meter temperatures once again broke the Paris limit on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, reaching 1.52°C above the 1850-1900 IPCC baseline both days, marking the 2nd hottest temperatures for the date on record, and possibly in the last 120,000 years.

I’m sorry prof, but this take absolutely reeks of ignorance and privilege. Nothing about civilizational collapse or the sixth and possibly final mass extinction event is going to “fade” or “pass”. The pain, suffering, and inhumanity will be nothing but real and alive all the way down. Do better.
Your 'doom quote' for today:
"Our best bet is to act as if we believed we have already overshot, and do our best to ensure that the inevitable crash consists as little as possible of outright die-off of Homo sapiens."

Your 'doom quote' for today:
"If anything, the history of climate modeling has been one of conservatism and underestimating the impacts of climate change."

Your 'moment of doom' for Aug 13, 2025 ~ Not the new normal.
"This year's wildfire season is already the second-worst on record in Canada, and experts are warning that this might be the new normal."

Don’t forget that includes ocean acidification, arctic ice loss, sea level rise, a 10C climate, microplastic sterilization, toxic metal pollution, and 500+ nuclear power plants melting down radiating the planet. Fun timez.
Oh, cool. Will it solve climate change, overshoot, biodiversity loss, soil erosion and degradation, ocean acidification, and all the other existential threats to the planet? Will it help other species avoid extinction? I'm in the UK - is there a local chapter near me?
