Good morning. Thank you for your observations. You are naturally correct in what you see coming given what is happening in the biosphere. I visit the woods and fields I grew up amongst in the earl 1960s and the silence and lack of wildlife is eerie. There is no longer any need to clean windshields and headlights of insects - they are not there. Sometimes I listen to the 'experts' and think ' don't they get out into nature '? Do they listen to the growers of food? The idea that there is anything we can do from this position is utter foolishness and prevents us from 'bracing for impact' . The insect and plankton populations are down 90% and 50% respectively - shortly this will impact the larger life forms. Adios indeed. Thanks again. Kind regards from UK

​@@geofffriend4161 This is genuine conspiracy theory nonsense. See "Meta-analysis reveals declines in terrestrial but increases in freshwater insect abundances" by Roel van Klink published in science for a modern overview of insect population studies. To highlight the most important findings, water insect populations are up, not down, terestrial insect populations are down ~20% since the 1970, specifically in urban areas like Chicago, but not in rural areas where crop cover by things like corn and wheat are actually associated with increases in insect populations, and there is no correlation with global warming.

Yes. The cities are full of pest control. I have 5 acre wildlife sanctuary 12 miles from city center. I let the weeds grow in the floodplain (and sort out and remove invaders that washed downstream.) I plant my trees with the birds in mind, leaving open space for the falcons to hunt. I have pest control in the form of hawks and owls for the rodents and bats and swallows for insects. I had a coyote coming through a hole in the fence for bunnies, but when neighbors caught sight of a cougar on their cameras, I sadly patched the hole s/he was using. Made me sad. (I later discovered that the bunnies s/he was hunting are endangered. feel like I was able to communicate with the coyote and the hawk to leave the chickens alone. The only ones I've lost have been to neighbors' dogs. Dunno about a cat. Putting nature first is a state of mind. All beings can live together peacefully if they are fed. Nature abhors imbalance. Imagine what life will look like as homeostasis is restored. We have much to do to be included in the species that survive. We won't eat without the bugs and birds. I have lots of worms and lots of robins eating them. I am so grateful.

The integrated assessment models have been one of the several key planks that have misdirected humanity since their inception. It's what these inadequate models don't include that's important. There's way too many signifant affective factors not included. Hansen is strong on this. His latest paper- global warming in the pipeline is instructive, highlighting earth energy imalance ( off the charts in the last 14 years) and the regulations of the IMO mandating reductions in the sulpur content of heavy and bunker fuel oil in ocean going shipping. These two factors alone make for stark reading. The IPCC reports omit all this while including NETS- negative emission tech, that isn't proven to work at scale. As Andreas points out, adaptation is an illusion without mitigation of the problem. Thanks to Andreas and people like him that work tirelessly to inform populations while working as activists to change the criminal operating systems of our civilisation and the mafia in suits that are in charge.

What Hansen doesn’t spell out is that 3 of the 4 of the big grain producing regions still have high levels of SO2. 2 of these guys are doing everything under the sun to increase aerosol masking by burning ever greater amounts of coal.

Something that is never discussed is the second derivative of CO2 concentration. The historically unprecedented rate of change of CO2 concentration causes adaptation of the atmospheric pattern of flow ( eg, jet stream) that results in extreme weather until an equilibrium is re-established. Constantly changing CO2 concentrations over short periods of time will result in a steady state of extreme weather as the atmosphere will always be seeking a new equilibrium. The more technology used to manage the content of the atmosphere the worse it will be. The natural processes are too complex to be modelled. Solutions to the Navier Stokes equations are almost always chaotic.

Capitalism is the problem, not what shares people are incentivised to buy within it.

A great pity they co-opted the term 'overshoot' to describe this policy/ideology.

Part of the problem, according to the maverick economist, Steve Keen, is that almost all economists chose to live in a fantasy world of their own making. In this world only the agricultural part of the economy will be affected by a +6 deg. C amount of temp increase, so the damage to the GDP will be minimal. That is just 3% less that the amount of GDP growth with no temp increase. But, no farming is, no food is, we all starve & die.

summary: fake news

Seeing current energy amounts that Earth takes (~+2Watts/m^2), there is hardly any chance to stay under 2C warming. We are overshooting 2C already. There is no budget left for 2C. And that does not even include aerosols, that adds even more temperature rise to the mix. Hansen et al. paper says that we are currently at 2,55C when all components are calculated in. And that does not include coming tipping points. We could try to come back around 2C, if there is some magical mean to take lots of ghg's from the air. So far these means does not exist. Antarctica sea ice is currently at so low level (2,67 million sq km's missing), that it will gain huge amounts of energy in coming summer. That could disrupt Antarctica's glaciers, like Thwaites, causing rapid sea level rise.

Use of trees (and other perennial species) can be viable IF such perennials are used as a multipurpose functional resource as food/fodder/fuel/human & animal habitat and NOT planted solely as pure monoculture stands for use as commercial GHG emission offsets thus occluding and displacing other land uses. It is important to realize that polycultures are significantly MORE productive for food production and MORE efficient at ecological capture of Carbon than monocultures. Monocultures are ONLY more efficient for machines and for the capitalist’s that own them.

Incidentally, the reason that we have all these problems, such as climate change and other forms of pollution, and cultural exploitation, is BECAUSE corporations are not required to fulfill a clear ethical mandate that INCLUDES ecological protection in order to become established in the first place. Such a mandate might be similar to what I call my three "Laws of Ethics & Sustainability", applicable to ALL sentient species that reside within the Universe for all time! Here they are: First, All sentient species must recognize that they are part of an ecosystem and totally dependent upon it for their health and survival. Thus all actions must serve to enhance the capacity resilience, diversity, integrity, diversity and stability of both the sentient species and its ecologically-based life-support system to ensure the long-term survival of the species. Stated more simply, the sentient species, through their actions as keystone species and planetary stewards, must create an ecosystem that provides their progeny an ecosystem that is BETTER able to provide for the health and survival of the species than the one that they inherited from their parents. Second, they must propagate their species (and their ecologically-based life-support system) throughout the universe wherever alien life cannot be found, thus increasing their potential for survival. Third, they must protect and defend this life from hazards or threats, arising from both internal and external sources that, if unchecked, would harm the life contained there in. That's it! How the corporations, organizations and government agencies fulfill this triple mandate is left up to the entity. Thus, it is a performance standard NOT a prescription. Follow these three laws and your species will live FOREVER (have eternal life) and continue evolve into a moral species (like unto (a) god). Fail to follow these laws and, by your own actions, the species will go extinct (and be replaced by another species who will then have its chance). No gods need be invoked to punish or save. Our fate is in our own hands. Rather than strive to consume more and more energy to become a Type I Kardashev species (which, lacking ethics, does not lead to the advancement of a civilization and simply produces a larger hammer to be used for self-extinction), we should strive to become MY Type I moral civilization - one that has successfully created an ethical and ecologically sustainable planetary wide civilization.

People see global warming as a problem. The problem is greenhouse gases that warm the planet and acidify the oceans. Climate happens in the troposphere, and the troposphere holds only 2,3% of all the extra heat, the oceans absorb 93,4% of the warming, the rest going into land and ice. In short, climate change is only 2,3% of the problem as opposed to global warming which is measured in watts per square meter at the surface of the tropopause with satellites. The measure for 2022 was 3,4 watts per square meters, It was 1,8 back in 1979. Never has the Earth warm this fast, see paleo-climatology.

Another thing that is not talked about is the destabilization and possible long term elimination (?) of the mid latitude atmospheric circulation cell. The implications of this possibility are significant. This simplification would result in northerly migration of deserts (at the point of contact between the Hadley and the Polar cells where cold dry air would now be sinking) and precipitation (and accumulation of snowpack due to warm moist air now RISING (rather than cold dry air falling) at the poles giving rise to renewed glaciation. Given the dire consequences, is this the atmospheric circulation pattern that we want to create? If so, keep pumping GHGs into the atmosphere!

Unfortunately Malm is using the term “Overshoot” in an overly simplistic and misleading way (and it appears other Europeans are doing this too.)

There Catton puts forth a much more sophisticated and thorough definition of overshoot that is far better for understanding the situation we are in. It’s disappointing that someone like Malm, who is so well respected, and others like him, are apparently quite naive regarding this. Please read Catton’s work, as well as those who have followed in his footsteps. It will give you all a much better understanding of the situation than Malm provides.

When Malm uses the word overshoot, he means in the sense that it is used in the mainstream. He is talking about the way large corporations and climate summits use the word, not the way Catton uses it. Catton's use of overshoot is referring to overshooting our planet's carrying capacity for human life and Malm is talking about overshooting the climate limits set up in the Paris Accords that is a different concept on the modern political stage. These are two different concepts with two different discourses I don't understand what is so hard to grasp about that. It seems unfair to call Malm naive in this sense, in other interviews he is completely aware of the great likelihood of societal collapse and disaster that Catton talks about.

Why don't we talk more about the Aerosol masking effect as a side effect of the burning of fossil fuels and how additional future warming is simultaneously masked by this effect. Wouldn't stopping the burning of fossil fuels lead to abrupt catastrophic warming? It might be unavoidable to not have some form of solar radiation management in conjunction with shutting down the fossil fuel industry. Also if you would consider that the burning of fossil fuels in itself has been one big geo-engineering project since the start of the industrial revolution. The terrifying solution might be that we need a similar long-term and large-scale project to reverse some of its negative consequences. The question is who will be in charge of such a undertaking and can it be part of a radical democratic and anticapitalist movement?

One reason adaptation is popular with capitalists is the investment adds to GDP and creates new wealth creating opportunities for the owners of capital. Mitigation requires moving away from fossil fuels and reduced consumption of high carbon products and services, so reducing GDP and stranding assets. The profit making opportunities for capitalists will be lower particularly as mitigation also requires increased government spending.

Upshot: If it's not about control, we're not being serious. Really? What about all the disasters we are managing to prevent every day precisely because that control is not possible?

Mitigation undermines profits and undermines the ability of the wealthy to maintain their selfish narcissistic lifestyles. In contrast, Overshoot requires capital and geoengineering technology (which are owned by big business and big government), the use of which allows big business and big government to PROFIT handsomely from the very pollution that THEY created and to simultaneously maintain their lavish lifestyles by so doing! Moreover, it allows them to determine who receives this life-support technology (namely themselves) and who is allowed to suffer, die, become refugees, or attack and be labeled and treated as dissidents and terrorists -- namely those that disagree. It also allows them to control the population by owning and controlling their life support infrastructure. "Either vote for us and support our policies or suffer the same fate as those who do not."

Fail to obey and your species by its own sinful decisions and actions will suffer eternal death (aka go extinct!). No gods need be evoked to punish or save. We do it to ourselves.

Everybody speaks about policy making, but I think, the biggest problem is the mainstream population behavior. We all have to stop buy oil, coal and gas and products from these, driving cars, flying by plane. And most of all make this carbon neutral behavior cool. 🤷🏻‍♂️

It really is too late. We are in methane runaway.

The title of this video says it all-it IS too late. All talk about the climate-in fact the biosphere as a whole-amounts to nothing more than an academic exercise at this point. We’re obviously not going to change our ways in any significant degree and it’s way too late in the game to make any difference so, we’re left with the task of merely chronicling the demise of human civilization if not our actual extinction on this planet.

It is of course completely correct to criticize the profit-making greed of the fossil fuel companies. But the fact is that it is just because of all the hundreds of millions of human beings on this planet who are buying the petrol to fill-up their cars because they are too lazy to use public transport, all the people buying the vast quantities of products that are shipped and flown around the world to satisfy their endless desires to consume. Just consider the effects of hundreds of millions of people heating up their homes through a northern hemisphere winter, let alone all the other fossil fuel-usage, cars, etc, happening at the same time! It is the 8 BILLION people who eat all the food grown on land that has been cleared to grow crops all across the planet. It is just because humans cannot curb their endless desires to consume that is the main cause of the present planetary-wide crisis. It is all of us 8 billion humans living on this planet Earth who are literally eating-up, devastating and destroying everything here, just because there are so many of us here that we are all of us together, just like a vast swarm of locusts devouring everything on this planet in our endless desires to consume!

"hundreds of millions of human beings on this planet who are buying the petrol to fill-up their cars because they are too lazy to use public transport" Idk, using public transport seems like less work than making $1000s to buy a car and then having to get a license to get a car. The problem is those fossil fuel ghouls don't want to fund public transport. I agree that people are ultimately responsible but the ones benefiting the most are the most responsible, that's just reality.

I wonder what people in 10 years will think about the level of alarmism in this video. The level of certainty about the climate would be amusing if it wasnt so shared by so many people. Madness in action..

Thunderf00t said it better and I suggest everyone look at his 3-4 videos in the last few months on climate change and the legacy we will be leaving behind. The point being is that even if we stopped all the burning of carbon it would be our grandkids and great grandkids that will truly start noticing the difference.

Every year, we pass the overshoot day earlier and earlier. Just consider forest and fishery in those renewable resources. Commercial fishing won't be viable by 2048, and that just considering over-fishing.

Capitalism is a political and economic system in which industry is operated by private companies for profit. Companies must increase profit or else they go out of business. As fixing climate change is not profitable it follows that capitalism cannot fix the problem of climate change. Note that you can have industrialisation without capitalism by changing the private profit motive to a planned economy instead. This is arguably better as you can more easily internalise the costs associated with environmental destruction.

*CO2 re-heating , what nonsense !* In no case can CO2, and for several independent reasons, be the cause of any climatic variations. Humans even less! Because the order of magnitude of the anthropogenic flux of CO2 is very much less than 1% of that of the natural fluxes of the carbon cycle .... and therefore even if the CO2 had the magical-climatic properties attributed to it by the IPCC (pure hypothesis for play) this flow would be easily absorbed by the regulatory mechanisms of this cycle ; photosynthesis alone would bring , after a short period of transition and adaptation of a kinetic nature due to the characteristic durations of plant growth (forests, crops, meadows, phytoplankton, etc.) , a new equilibrium would be reached with an increase in the atmospheric level of CO2 much lower than 1% (proportionality of small variations) , especially since plant life is deficient in CO2 (when trees appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian the CO2 level was more than 15 times higher than today). This is so true that, in some greenhouses , CO2 is injected in order to promote the growth of plantations (the only real greenhouse effect of CO2 !). And if the concentration of CO2 increases further , the multiple other causes are not difficult to identify , it can only be something favorable to plants and therefore to Life in general. The observed climatic variations which are not so extraordinary or catastrophic, on the contrary , can find much more plausible causes such as the interaction between the solar magnetic field, the terrestrial magnetic field, the fluxes of cosmic, solar and galactic, rays. . This interaction (spallation phenomenon) strongly influences the formation of clouds , particularly during the nocturnal phase and therefore on the much more significant greenhouse effect that these produce and particularly therefore during this phase where the Earth sheds its energy towards the starry sky and the depths of the Universe at 3 Kelvin. Especially since, since the 1870s, the Earth's magnetic field has particularly weakened. Especially since the flow of cosmic rays coming from the Sun is particularly variable, following the fluctuations of its magnetic field and its overall activity. This interaction is also responsible for the phenomenon of the aurora borealis, and we could see, particularly in this month of November 2023, the strong correlation between aurora borealis descending to very low latitudes (southern France) and regularly impressive and sometimes torrential rains (thus induced by increased cloud production due to the increased spallation phenomenon itself resulting from a drop in the Earth's magnetic field and an increased flux of cosmic rays). .

"In no case can CO2, and for several independent reasons, be the cause of any climatic variations." Sorry, a mountain of research proves that to be false. Maybe go read the research so you can learn how it works? Human excess CO2 emissions total about 3% per year of the size of the total carbon cycle, but like making $100K a year but spending $103 K a year, our excess emissions drive global CO2 levels higher year after year. We have raised global CO2 levels more than 50% since 1776. "when trees appeared at the beginning of the Cambrian the CO2 level was more than 15 times higher than today" During the Cambrian, there was little to no life on land. The explosion of life was marine life. Furthermore, you may be a physics professor, but here's a tip about biology and botany: All species and ecosystems do best when the conditions they evolved under and are adapted to remain stable--too-rapid changes in those climate conditions cause mass extinctions of life. We are already seeing profound harms to species and ecosystems all over the world due to man-made global warming. The magnetic field has little effect on global temps.

*Other causes than CO2!* Other causes, much more credible than the very necessary for Life and quite innocent CO2, can explain the *local* climatic variations observed, *which are in fact nothing extraordinary* [1.2 ° C in a century and a half] ! Below you will find a much more *plausible* hypothesis as being *one* of the causes of the observed *local* climate variations, CO2 cannot, and for several independent reasons, have the harmful role attributed to it ! This cause *a little more plausible than the magico-climatic properties of CO2*, is *THE ***_SIGNIFICANT_* SUBSTANCE* of the *EARTH MAGNETIC FIELD* since the *1870s* ! On the one hand, the magnetic poles are moving and moving faster and faster (~ 50 km/year, 500 km in ten years), and, on the other hand, the intensity of the Earth's magnetic field is dropping by significantly and more and more quickly... However, the Earth's magnetic field interacts with [and protects us from] *cosmic rays* (flux of protons, electrons, atom nuclei and other charged particles, but also neutrons, neutrinos, gamma rays, etc.) coming from the Sun but also from the Galaxy. Part of them is diverted, another part trapped at the level of the Van Allen belts. These charged particles (or the ions formed in the atmosphere under their impact) are deflected and their trajectories wrap around the magnetic field lines, and therefore under this acceleration they radiate , partly in the visible. The atoms/molecules ionized or excited by this radiation (or their consequences) emit different lights when returning to their fundamental state. These cosmic rays are also responsible for the phenomenon of *spallation*. Thanks to their high energy, they induce nuclear reactions in the atmosphere on the nuclei of light atoms found in the upper atmosphere. These reactions, again, incidentally, give rise to electric charges (electrons, positrons, ions, α particles, etc.). All these phenomena and the associated light emissions give rise to the *aurora borealis* . The more the flux of cosmic rays increases, for example due to solar overactivity, the more they can be observed at lower latitudes. Likewise, the more the Earth's magnetic field weakens, the more we will see the Northern Lights at lower and lower latitudes. All these phenomena born from the interaction *[cosmic rays, magnetic field, atmosphere]* therefore lead to the appearance of immense ionized air masses where the density of electric charges (positive and negative) increases considerably. These electric charges will therefore strongly attract the polarized (and polarizable) molecules of water and thus become accretion centers for these water molecules. Thus, *all things being equal* (density of water vapor molecules, total pressure, temperature, etc.), a drop in the magnetic field which allows more cosmic rays to penetrate the atmosphere, will, via these electric charges, induce the condensation of water molecules into fine droplets or ice crystals, causing the formation of clouds which would otherwise not be formed and/or accelerating their formation . Professor Nir Shaviv {Israeli-American physics professor, University of Jerusalem} has, in the triptych *[cosmic rays, magnetic field, atmosphere]* studied over the ages the influence of the flow of cosmic rays (solar and galactic) and demonstrated a significant correlation between this flow and the planet's "average temperature". {this flow has evolved over the course of its history and for example for the "galactic" part of this flow depending on whether the Solar system and therefore the Earth was in an arm of our galaxy (Milky Way) or outside.} *But a drop in the Earth's magnetic field would have the same effect.* This has several consequences, there is therefore less water vapor, especially at night, since it has condensed more. But, on the other hand, the clouds formed increase the local albedo of the planet and reflect more solar radiation during the day. However, it is especially at the beginning of the night phase, when the drop in temperature further increases the condensation of water vapor that the formation of these clouds will be amplified and where the water drops and ice crystals created will *not absorb* but *reflect* the infrared (and over the entire “range”!) emitted by the earth’s surface. Everyone, and everyone, at least in the countryside, has noticed how the clear nights without clouds are cold and how the nights with cloud cover are warm (reflection by the clouds of infrared emitted by the ground and return of these towards the earth's soil). However, we must not forget that the Earth (in fact the Sun, Earth, fund of the Universe system) is a *thermodynamic creator* *** which describes a thermodynamic cycle (the synodic cycle) between the Hot Source that is the Sun and the cold source that is the background of the Universe at three Kelvins. And it is precisely at night when the temperature decreases that, on average, these clouds will form more easily, while it is precisely the phase of the synodic period where this half of the earth's surface "sheds its heat" by radiation towards the bottom of the Universe at 3 Kelvin. The evacuation of heat towards the cold source is hindered. . The clouds thus formed will give rise to a regime of “precipitation” that is disrupted compared to the previous situation ! Seen "from above", on the North side for example, the Earth has two particular points: 1) the geographic North Pole is the point through which the Earth's axis of rotation passes. 2) the North magnetic pole (which from the magnetic point is a south pole) which is not confused with the first, moves around and moves away from it (the two magnetic poles could even be reversed, and the pole magnetic North become a true north pole from a magnetic point of view). Seen from above, if we trace the meridian passing through the geographic pole and the mobile magnetic pole, climatic disturbances will be reduced for the regions located on this meridian, increased for the regions located in the opposite direction. As a result, cloud cover is modified, temperatures and climates, with local effects, as well. *** A thermodynamic creator is a system describing a cycle between a Hot Temperature Source and a Cold Temperature Source. As is already the case in a *thermodynamic engine* ; the heat flow tends to flow from the Hot Source to the Cold Source but the engine only lets this flow while, simultaneously, taking part of this energy flow in the form of work. The same goes for the thermodynamic creator (without capital C) who diverts part of this flow, not to produce work but complexity {self-organized emergent structures included in looped systems stabilizing them, allowing them to self-organize. maintain and grow and even duplicate (or even reproduce). A special case, but significant for us, being living beings as we know them. Particularly misguided in relation to the Bar-Tabac moralism of ecological "thought", is Roderick Dewar's Law which requires these structures to *dissipate as much energy as possible* , *as quickly as possible* in order to increase the transfer of Sun energy ==> rest of the Universe and accelerate the growth of entropy. This is why the energy balance of planet Earth (impossible in any case to be carried out seriously) of warmist delusions can, for this second reason, *only be false* and even ridiculous at the same time, stupidity and conceit since They omit this flow of energy, otherwise impossible to evaluate, which will transform into negentropy at the average temperature of the planet (in organization, complexity, etc.). .
