The Collapse Chronicle July 17
Making America Backward Again, Insurers Dump Climate Risk to Chump Bond Investors. What Could Go Wrong? Is Suzuki Right That It's 'Too Late'? US: 15 Billion-Dollar Weather Disasters This Year, Paradise Lost as Climate Change Remakes Europe’s Summers, Scam Nation… in The Collapse Chronicle!
There is a lie in Seth Klein’s aricle, and it is this: “ While we are already witnessing the death and destruction that comes with 1.5 degrees, a 2-degree world — which can still be prevented — will be that much worse…”
We cannot prevent a “2-degree world” at this point as the GHGs *already in the atmosphere* will ensure we race past that mark. And that is the essence of what Suzuki was saying.
Globally GHG levels are still rising! In order for us to reverse direction we would have to start taking massive amounts of GHGs OUT of the atmosphere—not “net zero” but “net -20%”. The tipping points we have passed will prevent that from happening.
