Ignore this if you want to, you might as well if that's what you have been doing for the last twenty or thirty years. It's would take an extraordinary worldwide reset to save us and our children now.

Bill McGuire, a professor emeritus of geophysical and climate hazards at University College London, said there were “no surprises” from the report, “to the extent that every measure reported, whether it be global temperature, sea level rise or sea ice extent, points to the fact that we are in deep shit”.
He said: “Of most concern is the growing imbalance between the incoming energy from the sun and that leaving the planet. Increasing greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere mean that while the heat coming in stays the same, that going out is steadily decreasing as our world hangs on to more and more of it.
“It is this growing imbalance – rather than just emissions – that most accurately tracks global heating and how quickly our planet will continue to heat up in the decades to come. This is because natural feedbacks are now coming into play that are driving up the temperature more rapidly than 20 years ago. |  |

I'm not a climate change denier and I firmly accept this is happening and that we must take bold and decisive action and soon - and I do as much as most to reduce my carbon footprint.
However, the guardian will always publish the expert person who has the most doomsday scenario on pretty much all topics I've found.
In my field, markets and finance, every week you find an economist in there predicting the end of the world.
All that doesn't make the problem any less grave of course, just saying that the handpicked expert by the Guardian may be slightly more pessimistic than the average. [Post edited 9 Nov 12:52]

'We shouldn't be informed about what could happen' is quite a weird line to follow mate. |  |

Per my post I wouldn’t describe much of what I read in the guardian, at least in my field, particularly informative.
Therefore I’m inclined to treat much of what they write with a degree of caution as I see first hand the sh1te they spew in a subject I know a fair amount about. | | | |

There's a bit of a difference between economics and physics! | |

TBF, they both use lots of graphs and charts that mere mortals could never understand. |  |

“We have entered a new age of climate extremes,” said António Guterres, the UN secretary general. “A supersized El Niño is colliding with a planet already superheated by manmade climate change. Climate records keep falling. The human costs keep rising. And those least responsible are suffering first and worst.”
And there you have why nothing is bring done. If America was suffering Trump would be bullying everyone around the table.
When it does finally impact us on a big scale it will be too late. |  | | |

I’ve worked in the field for nearly 20 years and I still don’t understand tbh.

Worzel always made it look easy enough. I imagine the secret is to look alert and awake while being in the middle of a 10 hour workplace power nap. | | | |
