2/2.5°C of global warming: * humans unable to adapt * no evidence we can survive * baked in * likely in 1- 2 decades * just one compounding factor in extinction catastrophe * 25- 75% of species doomed * consensus science reports urge economic systems change Media silent.
@ClimateBen May I suggest closing the comment section at least for non-following, like @extremetemps does? I believe much worse than closed is that troll misinformation is unloaded accumulating to >90% of all posts that others read & believe because not all sounds implausible although wrong!
@ClimateBen Humans are one of the most adaptable species on earth Do you have a main stream science source that humans can’t adapt to 2.5 degrees of warming? We’ve seen more than this since the end of the last glaciation
@ClimateBen For over 90% of Earth's history, there were no ice caps. During the entire reign of the dinosaurs, no ice caps. Ice caps are rare on Earth. Our planet on average, is much warmer than it is now. Trust the Science.
@ClimateBen One significant volcanic eruption, 12 months of winter.
@ClimateBen Humans not able to adapt? We adapts to 60C swings each year. I’m sure we can adapt to 2C change. There is plenty of evidence we can survive. Have you not been to Siberia or UAE or Egypt or Minnesota?
@ClimateBen More CO2 means more plants and more species thriving. Higher crop yields. Not a problem.
