    Looks like Stanford will lose her seat then.

    Heat economics in Europe, worth a read – this now, not tomorrow or in a decade or three.

    Yes. Absolutely scary.

    Yes very concerning levels of delay and even denial. Lately I am glad we don't have grandchildren, and I am hugely concered for my grand nephews and nieces.

    Why is 2C so vaunted?

    Let’s do the context thing again: 2C will mean we have completely left the stable climate period known as the Holocene. This is the 11,000-year-old era that has given us large-scale crop and livestock agriculture, which gave us cities, written language, modern science and medicine, and warm beds and showers.

      Thanks-that really is a wonderful article KJT, especially:

      "…there is one type of rare, gargantuan, towering lie that makes all the other mass lies throughout human history seem like frightened, scurrying, little adorable fibs….the monstrous, misshapen garden colossus lie we’re referring to is subscribed to by most of the U.S., has stopped and slowed climate action far more than outright denial, and keeps growing and growing. Every day this deception whispers seductively in the ears of mankind: “global warming is real but not urgent… Keep doing what you’re doing.”

      I recall when carbon density was the hot metric and then we stopped hearing about that.

      Possibly because the internationally recognized safe target for atmospheric carbon dioxide is 350 parts per million (ppm). Current global levels have surpassed 430 ppm, well above the pre-industrial baseline of 280 ppm.

      Froglife.

    Dear Adults … Humanity is running out! Vote Climate if you cannot see which Party seems right to vote for; who will be rational, wise and humanely moral?

    I am looking at a postcard showing past endeavour in Ireland, produced by the Science Museum of somewhere, too important to have to put its address. It is an immense curved glassed hall. the site of The Irish Industrial Exhibition 1853, in Cork south-east Ireland. It must have taken years to build and therefore was going up while the country people were still falling down from starvation, illness, lack of humanity from those who had the power to provide continuous aid; or had emigrated.

    However August 1851 saw 'A healthy harvest was raised with isolated instances of blight.' But Ireland aid groups were so deep in debt from the methods of the past and poor relief, and fierce arguments raged from those less affected at supporting the most distressed. The actions of deadheaded politicians and nobility had actually worsened the crisis. | https://irishhistorian.com/IrishFamineTimeline.html

    But the money could be found to erect a cathedral to science and business in less affected Cork in south-east Ireland.

    Be aware of this because there is no limit to the ambitions, wealth and power madness of some humans when visions and means of supremacy come to them. We are seeing this type of thinking here and in the wider world. Remember that the financial world is amoral; laws restrain it to keep under control, but supreme beings can change the laws. This is already happening here and in our lodestars USA and UK.

    United we stand; divided we fall, could prove true as if we try to divide from the maniacs they will turn on us like aggressive, poisonous lionfish in the ocean. They have poisonous spikes all over and are a growing menace to fish stocks, becoming however a food source as wily affected countries are offering them as a culinary delicacy. Anyone for tech magnate bouillabaisse?
