We're basically on course for infinite warming. By the time anyone decides "maybe we should, like, seriously, try to fix this?", we'll be turning into Venus.

That's 18 degrees F for people who still use that

Hey, at least we won't be around to find out what happens if you add PFAS, aluminum, microplastics and other nanoparticles into an existing species over multiple generations.

So 10° is going to be an ELE? We aren't going to be here by 2100 are we? Atleast not in the current way we live anyway.

If this is true, we're fucked.

at a temperature increase of 4 degrees C:

• Sea rise of ~9m, putting 470-760 million at risk
• Frequent and severe extreme droughts
• Mass extinctions, risk of ecosystem collapse
• Food insecurity, regional de-development
• Half of all animal species face local extinction

Caveat: preprint, not yet peer reviewed.

I hope this paper gets peer reviewed - I want to believe it so bad as I agree with the general ideas (people ignoring feedback loops and other factors which impact the climate as well). Though I do wonder sometimes if there are any remaining negative feedback loops which we aren't aware of, and might help as CO2 levels worsen. It certainly seems like we're already aware of all negative loops (the ocean, plant life, rocks?, etc), so we're really only missing the positive loops

Huh I guess that Arctic news blog guy was right.

PDF warning next time please.
