David Wallace-Wells On 2021's 'Off The Charts' Climate Emergencies 

Yes, and the very complexity of our brains will be our undoing. We cannot get out of our own way.

It’s worrying that on top of the climate crisis, western democracies are experiencing going out of the bay and into open ocean. They won’t sink, but the waters will be choppy. And, this democratic decline and the climate crisis are linked - we need our institutions to work to avoid the worst climate outcomes.

@@VladVexler Well, it looks like the U.S. is flunking, as a democracy. Elections are no more respected than climate science.

We don't have any psychological blocks in place when it comes to *immediate* catastrophes, as we evolved to do that. When wars break out, our societies can turn on a dime. When famines loom, we stockpile food. Diseases, we quarantine boats in harbours and if we had been prepared for this one, we would have managed much better. It had just been 100 years since the last pandemic and the political leadership in every country tripped over their own feet. The problem is long-term threats. We didn't evolve to face them, because we were only concerned with the next year or five. That's as far as we could plan ahead in hunter-gatherer societies anyway. So long-term threats easily sneak up on us and climate change is like a perfect storm

@@squamish4244 You have described perfectly why I think we are doomed, regarding climate change. Regarding the pandemic, the virus is effectively smarter than we are, (in the short run), in its ability to quickly evolve more dangerous variants, coupled with our inability to respond appropriately.

CO2 at 0.04% is a 2,500th of the atmosphere. That means to warm the climate by just 1"C carbon dioxide molecules must capture 2,500"C of heat energy. That is impossible. It also breaks the fundamental laws of thermodynamics. Methane at 0.00017% is a 600,000th of the atmosphere so it's even more impossible. However, the climate is changing. This is because of deliberate geoengineering programmes, in particular ozone thinning away from the poles. Though largely unreported ozone thinning effect is directly observable, this summer you can see a unnaturally bright sun just as we did last year. Under these conditions the pain felt when looking at the sun is not only from the increase in visible light but the much larger increase in infrared. (Look up at the sky and you will see a range of geoengineering operations in progress, these include chemtrail induced cloud or hazing, ripple patterns caused by HAARP installations, bizarre and unnatural cloud formations). Climate change is a programme to force change in accordance with the implementation of Agenda 21 /2030. Current events demonstrate this transition is well underway and will involve massive population cull through injected nanotech (re transhumanist programme). Agenda 21 also sees the permanent loss of all property rights with the introduction of universal basic income (ref NESARA/GESARA) and has/is being promoted by The World Economic Forum. 'You will own nothing and you will be happy' WEF In a depopulated world the surviving brainwashed and controlled population will be confined to mega cities. Carbon limits will be used to restrict consumption and liberty. Meanwhile the re-greened wilderness will be the exclusive playground of the ultra rich elite posing as conservationists. The CO2 hoax amounts to the theft of the world and the enslavement of humanity by a parasitic few. Welcome to the future! _________ I have included a debunking of 'accumulated heat' as it is so often used to explain how trace elements, so called 'greenhouse gasses', can warm the planet. Accumulated heat whilst sounding a reasonable explanation of how heat can build up is rather nothing more than gobbledygook. In fact it shows those using such arguments do not even understand what heat is. When we measure temperature we are measuring the heat energy a thing is losing. In short heat is a measurement of flow, the transfer of heat energy and this will always be in the direction towards the colder. For this reason a thing can never 'accumulate heat' in the way those advocating CO2 climate change describe. The temperature of a body is the measure of heat output, it can never be greater than the measure of heat input. Output = input. When a thing is warmed it is heated to an equivalent of the heat input. If this input is not maintained it will cool. Those that propose that heat can build up to be hotter than the total measure of heat input at a given time either do not understand what heat is or are being deliberately misleading. To illustrate, an object being heated by a flame can never become hotter than that flame, it's temperature cannot rise inexorably to the temperature of the sun for instance. Heat cannot be accumulated. When we think about it common sense tells us this must be the case. NASA and even Nobel Prize winning physicists have expounded 'accumulated heat' as the explanation how CO2 is able to warm the atmosphere. They claim that over hundreds of years CO2 has captured heat energy and this heat has 'accumulated' to produce a serious warming effect. As I have just explained, this is totally impossible and fundamentally violates all the laws of thermodynamics. That respected scientists should support such uneducated, unthinking nonsense is disturbing and only reflects that in terms of being able to think clearly about a subject they have no facility or inclination. These are the Dark Ages of science. Belief has outweighed logic or any critical thought. It tells us that we should not unquestioningly accept anything we are told, that experts can be fools. (NB: be aware of attempts to discard thermodynamics by talking about biology. Eg. 'It only takes a drop of arsenic to kill a person.' This would be somewhat desperate, muddled thinking. Clearly biological processes based on the reaction of a cell are not the same as the laws of physics/thermodynamics).

@@karensavageau4622 I like it!

He can’t say the truth, he will lose his paycheck.

Adaptation is discussed by many as if it is an alternative solution. It may be for some but certainly not for all, for the simple reason that populations are mostly highly concentrated into particular areas where it will be impossible to meet the resource needs of everyone. So the sick, weak & defenseless will become the first raft of mortality, & thereafter decline will be dictated by access to food, water & shelter/security. So it will really be adaptation for a minority & even then with indeterminate longer-term survival timescales.

@@mikeharrington5593 I agree. And let's be clear, NOBODY is 'adapting' their way out of climate change. Some naively think they'll be ok with a stronger air conditioner. Maybe Gates or Bezos or Musk can buy a decade or two in newly tropical Saskatchewan Canada, but ultimately there is nowhere to hide.

David Wallace Wells takes a glance at a tiny sliver of the data and concludes he sees the big picture when he actually overlooks everything that will determine who will die and who will survive.

Love it

Watch the movie "The Day the Earth Caught Fire". A British film made in mid 60s, it chronicles what might happen if the earth is moved off it's axis from nuclear testing and climate change takes place immediately worldwide. It is for rent on You Tube and is truly the most terrifying movie I've ever seen.

Go North, far North and start stocking up on basic staples if you want to try to survive to a reasonable old age. Of course, you may not want to just survive.

@@Hummmminify Hell no , i wanna see the carnage.

@@chriskwakernaat2328 hell yeahh man, thats the spirit 🤘

Not to mention the 30-year time lag with CO2. We are so fucked.

you are correct they are all just telling people what they want to hear. The governments of the world already know its past the tipping point and they believe it. So they are executing the only plan that makes sense for the Human race.

Heck. It's the oil companies. And scammers trying to RIP off every single human being. Enough already.

Survival mode? Uninhabitable earth , means humans animals food isn't happening on earth. Were extincting ourselves fossil fuels took millions of years to build up all that energy and we burnt it off like lighting a match book n blew out load in a hunned 2 hunned years. That's to stupid to be intelligent life, n earth will be like science n data history , very un for giving

This momentum is a few centuries in the making , there’s no time for blame but knowing the history helps

No they didn't figure in that as its hard to know what would truly happen when you cant control all future events. in just 10 years the population grew about 1.2 billion more people and we live longer. So we passed the tipping point.

The models are off ... the big disasters should have occurred by 2050

To gamble with your life is to speak volumes about yourself.

@@WhirledPublishing Selling your soul speaks volumes about fossil operative slime.

The mass extinction has already begun. There are countries now that are no longer considered habitable due to the lack of rainfall in the last few years. I suspect that millions of humans in the Horn of Africa will perish from famine. Wildlife is dying in Mass and the shells of their former bodies later the desert floor for miles upon miles

My point is the earth has plenty of room and resources for the population to quadruple. Don't worry though the left is effectively turning all groups against each other. These days, so many woman have such a bad attitude towards men that men no longer find them attractive. This is happening all over. Birth rates r declining and will continue to do so.

Lol "fossil operative" REALLY?? I notice u didn't actually answer my question. HOPE EVERY ELSE DID TOO!! U insulted me instead. U'll notice I never need to resort to such tactics. Why...because in a reasonable debate on this topic I'll win. Ur only chance is to shut the debate down. Next u'll b calling me racist or accusing me of micro aggressions...AND U STILL won't answer my question! The fools will fall for ur tactics, and the intelligent will recognize them :) btw I'm for the ultimate end of fossil fuels, not for fear of global cooling, oops I mean warming, oops I mean climate change (sheesh it keeps changing huh?). I'm in favor of the end of it because it creates less clean air. I'm absolutely not in favor of seeing lil 5 yr old kids thinking the world is gonna end before they reach adulthood. I'm not in favor of teens becoming hopeless and commiting suicide. I'm not for added and unnecessary stress that is for make believe reasons that people flying private jets tricked others into believing. I'm an environmentalist who deals in facts and reality. For instance I'm guessing ur against pipelines. They r the safest and most efficient way to move oil, thus I, as a REAL environmentalist am for them. Of course ur prolly for the one that Russia uses to skirt around the Ukraine thus making it easier to attack Ukraine, but I digress. I started out making a simple point about how things aren't hopeless and we r not getting worse. Didn't ask for a big debate, but if ur gonna push I'll b happy to continue. Just know I'm gonna win among the intelligent people reading it :)

I feel that you are knowledgeable enough to understand reality from good data. I only know reality via discernment, which very few people understand. All your comments are priceless.

Having a logical mind goes far, these days. Something that is depressingly rare, except on podcasts like this one.

I did not know this. U right. It's like not studying for a test and expect to get an A. *

Academics shifting the goalpoasts (datum - now 1950 instead of 1750...) doesn't help. (to be truly accurate, I would place the datum as early as the first and second wave of deforestation (paleolithic through to medieval/renaissance) and the expansion of agriculture and civilisations. . Nor does ignoring the correlation between human population expansion and AGW (GHG emissions), countless other 'vectors of anthropogenic doom', such as; cryospheric retreat; irradiation, pollution, consumer waste, habitat loss and the ongoing mass extinction.

True. To think they could have improved the automobile years ago.

If the value of your currency was tied to that sure, but when it comes to the dollar that is a myth that fails to take into account the small matter of the entirety of the rest of the global economy. The petrodollar is one aspect but the majority of raw resources aside from oil, are sold in dollars. The dollar is not just the petrodollar, it's the copper dollar, the aluminium dollar, the corn dollar, the wheat dollar, on and on, 62% of all global transactions for all the resources goods and services on this planet, are still conducted in dollars. they are not in a hurry to get rid of oil because capitalism is not viable without it, is has sod all to do with maintaining an individual currency and everything to do with maintaining capitalism and the 3,000 mile long supply lines it incentivises into being that transport components of your salad from some pissant paid jack shit per day because the guy above him could make more money doing that than growing the fucking thing in your neighbourhood. And over time due to the debauched nature of capitalism the vast majority of major population centres are completely dependant on those 3,000 mile long supply lines for food and fuel and most barely have more than 5 days worth of each should those lines break down. Capitalism, will never, ever, be viable at scale, without oil. armyofall.wordpress.com/no-future-under-capitalism/

Nice dodge. You can go back to sleep now.

Especially given the idiocy at the US EPA

Hate to break it to you but methane isnt included in any IPPC report - at the start it was an 'unknown' then it became 'unfeasible' to include it. And the worst case inc the methane is around 10-15 degrees. The problem is that the solution requires the complete destruction of the current economic model - and replacing it with ???? As is mentioned, 2020, due to covid, there was a massive shift in how we lived (larger than required ?) - and global emissions only dropped by 7.5%. If we stop all co2 now, then what's locked in already is catastrophic. just 1, Bangladesh is gone. where do 160 million people go ? How do you replace the rice (4th largest producer), potatoes (7th largest producer), jute (2nd). The limit of 2 degrees is just another distraction from what is needed, it implies we have time, and we ran out of that 30 years ago.

@@jonovens7974 so, why worry. Just live your live to the fullest and enjoy. You will see that all will be fine and all the fear of the world ending was just a fantasy. As is the whole man made global warming hoax.

Since forecasts from the IPCC have been wrong - year after year after year - they've broadcast, for all the world to see, that they are not the experts - they're imbeciles and idiots with ludicrous theories and insane "models". To mention the IPCC as a viable source is to expose yourself as lacking in intellect. This is what the idiots at the IPCC have said about methane - which contradicts the claims from Jon Ovens: www.google.com/search?q=ipcc+methane&rlz=1CAIGZW_enUS935US935&oq=ipcc+methane&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i131i433i512l8j0i3.3959j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 Since forecasts from "professor emeritus" Guy McPherson have been wrong - and he admits it - since forecasts from Al Gore's idiotic experts have been proven wrong - since Harvard's Michael Mann was exposed as a fraud in court, since numerous geologists, including the Director of the USGS, have been exposed as frauds by federal investigators, since forecasts from Earth Scientists have been wrong for over 100 years, at what point do you stop to realize they're idiots? Since the IQ's of geologists, and dozens of other fake experts, have been uploaded - online - by Psychologists, since their 85 to 115 IQ's are the intellectual equivalent of the smart kids in fifth and sixth grades, when does your programming of "brilliant scientist" collapse under the weight of the evidence? Since science majors are required to take classes in Chemistry, Geology, Physics, Calculus, etc., since most students don't earn A's in those classes, since most earn C's, we know that most "science majors" graduate with a C average - since the A students tend to go into medicine where they can easily earn half a million while the B students go into biotech, pharmacy, engineering, etc., where they can earn six figures, and since this relegates the C students into the Earth Sciences, since most Earth Science majors don't graduate from highly selective universities like Oxford and Cambridge, since most Earth Scientists graduate from low level institutions with minimal entrance requirements, at what point do you realize you're getting your history of Earth and your forecasts for Earth from idiots? Stop your insanity - they're imbeciles with theories about the history of our Earth that are exposed as lunacy by hundreds of historic documents that tell us the true history of our Earth - and if you think this disinfo isn't intentional, you might have a look at who owns the multi-million dollar publishing houses that print the textbooks, the science magazines and professional journals - take a moment to look at who controls the multi-million dollar labs that claim the ice cores are hundreds of thousands of years old when historic records, written in over a dozen different languages, tell a completely different story with a shockingly short timeline for the Arctic and Antarctic ice - they tell us you've been duped - so at what point do you smarten up and stop bowing down to the unintelligent fake science gods that are programmed, propped up and paraded around - propaganda style?

Not quite ... earth has a magnetic field and will always protect against Solar Winds stripping the atmosphere . But by releasing all carbon (which has sequestered itself over geological periods ) we will return the Planet to its initial primordial condition. Then everything will evolve again; differently . But looking out 500 generations from now - I can't see any potential for continuation of humanity.

Quote: 'meat is a major source of protein for billions..' I will remind you that meat is also a very inefficient way to feed an increasing global population. Not only is it inefficient but it comes with high emissions & is responsible for continuing deforestation around the globe. The industry requires lots of water which is problematic in areas already facing shortages. The western world consumes far too much meat. Far more than is beneficial to health.

I agree meat as it is produced by big ag is very problematic but I simply point out where we're at and ask the question what happens when meat production goes down if it goes down because of drought. Drought means nothing grows, not food for livestock and not plant based food either. I ask what is the plan for the billions of humans?

Detachment sounds like someone who's new to this news. Detachment does not care about your neighbor. This whole thing's a perfect catch-22 because the therapists who can help people need to first process it which takes time... I have no idea the percentage of soldiers who can go into battle and see serious action and then to go on to function fully in their profession. Again every single species on the planet Earth has gone extinct. I'm not saying I like it but this is very normal.

All these deniers are completely unaware of the exponential function. They were bad at math to begin with, and so placed an incredibly naive amount of their brain power into faith! Bad move. They will now be blindsided by the differences from one season to the next, ALL BAD! 6 years from now could be 64 times worse than now! I have one question for all these idiots: How do you spell extinction?

Nice focus on solutions, it's important people like us speak up ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-YMUVUHN3lfc.html

5 years? That's absurd. Try 50 to 100. The hottest areas on earth in the Middle East where millions live right now.

@@willchristie2650 Look up the exponential function! Apply it to climate catastrophe, and you will have your answer. Time to get your affairs in order (if you have any).

I haven't heard the methane causing the abnormal heat in Canada and the northwest, that's interesting but sounds logical. Any papers or anything I can look at? Thank you.

@@nitrofreak67 this methane story a fiction. There will be no papers forthcoming. Yes methane is up, and yes methane is an important gas, but the heat dome was not locally caused by methane.

@@dlmcnamara You call it a fiction and in the very same sentence acknowledge that methane levels are up. Well which is it?

@@nitrofreak67 Nasa has detected methane levels in the northern hemisphere that are elevated. One area measured in ppm not ppb. It is coming from tundra decay, from dissolving clathrates on arctic sea floors and from huge subterranean discharges which are leaving craters called "pingoes". The methane will take decades to disperse globally and will decay to CO2 in the process.

@@bloodybonescomic It's a fiction that there is a particular bubble of methane that is the direct cause of the heat dome. This is not inconsistent with there being a more general increase in the amount of methane in the atmosphere.

Interesting and important questions, I did touch on declining oxygen levels in oceanru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-GPhzI6OIj1o.html

Who gets to run the nuke plants? Might be getting a little crazier.

Yes, it would be too late to stop feedback loops, but cutting back fossil fuels and excessive consumption could still slow down the decline ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zSEi-tGBb8U.html

Yes, exceptionally ignorant. Always were, always will be.

Instead of stopping carbon,better start to stop worrying

@@DronkenDrenthen How i learned to stop worrying and love climate change. (dr strangelove)

@@chriskwakernaat2328 yes. Because climate change will never change. It has been changing forever. Get kids, live a life of joy and let the chips fall where they may.

Unfortunately, even if we ceased all carbon emissions and went on a tree planting frenzy it is far too late. The feedback loops are locked in and will run their course over time. After we are gone, the earth will repair.

@@bloodybonescomic Radioactivity from all the nuclear plants will be a major hurdle for the earth to overcome.

Arctic Methane Eruptions are occuring for the past few years

It's been ten months since you made your comment if you want to see the effects of climate change from a space view you can actually see the country's cook under extremely high temperatures live. I feel sorry for people in the Middle East in Pakistan and India as they are seeing the highest temperatures of Earth between 120 to 140 degrees. Human population since southeast Asia are experiencing some of the highest sea water temperatures on planet Earth that are approaching 30 to 32° C

Catch 22 Big-time! Remove the sulphates and other goodies and 2c will be the good ole days.

@@nitrofreak67 what sulphates?????

Dinosaur reptiles were not benignly undestructive, they dominated most macro- niches on earth such that our mammalian ancestors only existed at small nocturnal burrowing critters / prey for the saurs. It took extinction of dinosaurs to free up habitat allowing our ancestors scope to evolve into many larger forms including us great apes. All life is a struggle. Humans did however have a choice whether or not to limit or moderate their dominance over all other life forms, and seek balance, but as you say we've largely mucked that up with overpopulation and rampant fossil fuel usage causing this global warming.

Listen to The Hopecast by Jane Goodall and also How to Save a Planet by Ayana Johnson and Alex Blumberg. Science is limitless, but it's up to us to uncover the world. Just like how many scientists did not predict how quickly climate change was progressing, we may have yet to predict an unlikely savior. But it requires us to face our fears head on and actively participate in this dilemma. In order to have hope, one must work for it.

Hope is unhelpful if it enables us to deny reality

A mass extinction does not mean all species will be wiped out.

@@LK-pc4sq yes... Seafloor vents will start it over

@@LK-pc4sq Correct, but humanity will be unlikely to continue

Wobbly laptop with webcam; wobbly table; leaning on the table while gesticulating. A recipe for a seasick audience. The words are meaningful though, so look away and listen as a podcast.

It totally adds to the catastrophic message were receiving but ya my eyes are starting to ache a bit.

no they wont.....people are dumb

Spot on. Humans are not long term thinkers.

I think in terms of arctic ice loss. Can’t image a blue ocean event wouldn’t have any significant impact, even for a few days. Some project such an event happening by as early as 2026

@@____________aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa Exactly! Look up the properties of latent heat, then apply to the Arctic Ocean (a very shallow glass of water). What will it be like having a Spa at the top of the world instead of a freezer? Don't think any species will like that, least of all spoiled, fat, lazy humans!

It's too late for Thanos!

Stop your panic and learn to love the future

Humans will be around in 2075 and if there is any surviving humans they will most likely be in the Arctic try to survive a planet that is basically a unsurvivable oven it will be warm in the Arctic but at the same time this also happened 55 million years ago. Stumps of petrified trees Left Behind 55 million years ago including petrified alligators and petrified Palm fronds were discovered in the Arctic

Sad, but true.

I’m with you

What will happen is silent mass extinction. Millions of people dying from heat stroke of famine. Also, millions of humans migrating into the northern lattitudes and causing a housing crisis like no other time in earths history. Imagine a UN Climate Refuge came in Washington State.

Food crops can't handle 50c much less 60c. Photo synthesis stops around 40c. Anyways we are fucked! Enjoy the final decades if we're lucky.

@Rick Small. What is AGGI? And why do you state that AGGI is 505 now but later you say an AGGI of 505 will cause a rise to 18.6 c which seems wildly unrealistic. I am not convinced by your comparison of past temp increase as CO2 increased 325K years ago. No one is predicting 18.6 c by 2100.

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 , AGGI is absolute greenhouse gas index, CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas, there's methane, water vapor, nitrous oxide, NO,NO2,NO3, etc, Methane is around 3400ppb, ÷ 1000 = 3.4ppm × 80 (compared to CO2) = 270.2ppm CO2 equivalent, That's added to the CO2, 417ppm CO2 + 270.2ppm (methane as CO2 equivalent) = 687.2ppm, Then there's the equivalent CO2 values for water vapor and the others, Look up the milankovitch cycles with CO2 vs temperature vs time graphs, Glacial maximum, (bottom of graph), CO2 levels were 180ppm and temperatures were-8c, The 0 baseline is 15c, global temperature averaging 1750, glacial minimum CO2 was/is 280ppm, 325k yrs ago, CO2 levels were 300ppm and temperatures were 2c, Now you have 4 variables, 300ppm - 180ppm = 120ppm 2c + -8c = 10c difference, 10c/120 ppm or 1c/12 ppm, that's the global thermostat, Raise global CO2 or AGGI AGGI 12ppm (atmospheric concentration) and global temperature will rise 1c, Global CO2 levels rise 120ppm, global temperatures will rise 10c, Lower CO2 levels 12ppm and global temperature will fall 1c, etc, 280ppm is the 0 baseline representing 15c, Now take the AGGI, ( 505ppm I got from CO2 earth's home page and it's 2019s #) 505ppm - 280ppm = 225ppm ghgs ÷ 12ppm × 1c/12 ppm = 18.6c rise At the present CO2 rise of 2 to 3ppm/yr × 10 yrs = 20 to 30ppm x 1c/12 ppm = another 1.5c rise added on, The commercial airlines caused a masking effect, global dimming, reflecting solar energy before it hit the ground and converted to heat, now 10k airplanes/day have been grounded, causing global brightening, this effect is now causing temperatures to spike quickly and over the last 2 yrs its effects are very noticeable, Global temperatures want to be 18.6c or higher and its accelerating with a vengeance, 3 things have to be done to stop it and give humanity's children a fighting chance, 1. The immediate shutdown of the fossil fuel economy to level off the CO2 levels 2. The temperatures are still going to rise to 18.6c so the ghgs have to be extracted and reduced down to 280ppm and lower, 3. It's going to take a few yrs to extract the ghgs, 20, 40 100 yrs, so the sunlight has to be reflected back into space before it's converted to heat, it's called the mirrors project Oh, there's the 4th part, pray like you never prayed before that we're not to late

@@ricksmall5240 Thanks for responding though I disagree. I don't think the fossil fuel industry will shut down any time soon besides being unrealistic there needs to be time for other energy sources to ramp up. And as I said I don't see the temp to increase anywhere near as much as 18.6 c. I am more inclined to follow the IPPC projections of about 2.0 C by 2100. Who knows? Nobody that's who! We are making educated guesses without any idea how the next 80 years will play out.

@@michaeldeierhoi4096 look up, what is the surface temperature of venice and what causes the effect, If they don't shutdown the fossil fuel economy then they murdered humanity's children, Omnicide by AGW, Don't think it's possible, Over the last 10 years, global temperature rose 0.35c, The previous 10 years, global temperature rose 0.25c, In the next 10 years, global temperature will rise 0.5c, putting global temperatures 2c above preindustrial levels of 1750, Here's a correlation, 40 yrs ago global temperature was 0.6c cooler, heatwaves were 30 to 40c, (shade temperatures) Today after a 0.6c rise, heatwaves are 40 to 50c ( shade temperatures) 5 to 10 yrs global temperature rise of another 0.5c rise, heatwaves will be 50 to 60c (shade temperatures), add 10c when standing in the sunlight, putting temperatures at 60 to 70c, Now what plants can handle those temperatures, animals, insects, birds etc can handle that, Look what happened to Oroville Lake dam, full to the brim and then 2 yrs later, the turbines are shutdown, that's massive evaporation at present conditions, If the boomers don't give up their fossil fuel lifestyle, it's Omnicide, they murdered their own descendants and others descendants as well, Our ancestors didn't use fossil fuels and they built the pyramids, Aztecs, China's great wall, Roman aqueducts, etc, The boomers caused the problem, they can deal with a little hardship until a new paradigm is set up
