@@christianfaust5141 So, you want to stop burning coal, let's say, as a start? Wellllll.......... Here's what happens. As coal combustion in air is the source of most of the SO2 and black soot at higher altitude, ceasing coal use would remove much of these "pollutants" which will reduce the acidification of the seas and land, and reduce the darkening of ice which serve to melt ice and reduce darkening of land surfaces. These are good things, BUT............These two "pollutants" also provide a sort of aerosol parasol, the "aerosol masking effect" which keeps the global average surface temperature about 0.6 to 1C. cooler. So, if you stop burning coal, you reduce the long term heating of the biosphere and reduce the melt rate of ice and the acidification of land and water, but you will allow the near instantaneous spiking of global temperatures. If you don't survive the short term effects, the benefits of the long term effects are moot.

A fried of mine is a climate scientist was worried about the Pine Island and Thwaited glaciers starting in November 2022. He noticed that the iceberg blocking the PIG bay had started moving. He predicted a possible collapse, but was surprised by the extent of it over both glaciers within 3 days. But he was even more worried about the silence from not only the media but also the climate world. He started a group to discuss the Antarctic, and he invited me. The situation is worse than you talked about, since Deep Ocean Heat has caused the Swiss Cheesification of the ice barriers. We just came out of the Winter Melt Season, and the sea ice extent is off the charts, and faster than expected. Funny, just when they lost the Antarctic they decided to allow the Middle East conflict to have their 12 box cutter moment.

I've been following this channel for the past three years. I used to find them mildly irritating because most concerned the promise offered by this or that techno-fix. And my view is relatively simple: more techno-industrial 'progress' will not and can not hope to solve the problems created by techno-industrial 'progress'. What's needed is to manage global population and to begin to produce and consume far less of everything. So I have been pleased to discern on this channel a greater focus on the very real dangers poses by climate change rather than what I regard as largely unrealistic aspirations to see us through the coming crises with more technology. While people continue to believe that some 'clever people' will come up with a range of magic bullets, there will be far less pressure from below to adopt measures that might actually help.

Another possible "feedback loopy" scenario that could accelerate ice sheet loss is the potential for increased seismic activity due to the rapid reduction in the immense weight of the ice sheets as they calve into the ocean. Earthquakes would loosen the ice's grip on the bedrock and cause cracking, both of which will accelerate ice loss. This may be decades away and it is impossible to predict its extent.

I see that NZ has had a recent political lurch to the right. Will that mean a loosening of their environmental attitude? Possibly. The ocean currents slowing down to a stall reminds me of an early outcome theory around the 1990s when it was said that the human living zones may become banded into fairly tight latitudes, with the extremes almost permanently covered in ice right down to northern Europe, with similar results in the southern hemisphere. As far as I remember, this didn't take into full account the rise in global temperature or the terms we used to use, the Earth's energy, or heat, budget. But what it meant was that Northern Europe, America, Asia, echoed in the southern hemisphere, would have incredibly severe cold winters and very short summers, while southern Europe and those latitudes either side of the equator would be the only liveable bands for the global population. It ain't pretty. We've moved away from that singular theory idea since, but it's influence will be felt in the mix.

Even though temperatures are rocketing away now it was slow at first because most excess heating had been absorbed and `buried `in the sea and you have to put a massive amount of heat to actually melt ice , once melted the water heats up far faster . That and buried heated water now resurfacing and the huge amount of GHG (effectively a blanket that like a blanket takes time for heat to reach a new equilibrium ) is causing a monumental temperature rise and more is baked in as were at least 30 years off equilibrium with what we have now ..and GHG`s are rising at there fastest ever rate even after decades of dire warnings .

Stop eating meat, or everyone starts carpooling, taking a bus or train, or find a better form of concrete for construction, or stop using bunker fuel and such for cargo ships or find/stop the (mostly methane) leaks from gas production, or... any single one of those would stop (some significantly) more Co2 from entering the atmosphere a year. ​ Back to transportation, single occupancy driving Vs. long haul flying... flying is better with respect to Co2. Go to shorter flights then it driving can be better. Can't beat bus or train.

One thing I very rarely see discussed is how that over the last 500 million years 80% of that has had no continental glaciers. While we humans may be speeding things along a tiny bit, the climate has changed many times before humans and will continue to long after we evolve or go extinct. Why are we trying to stop the inevitable? Why are we not focusing on adapting? The climate change fear mongering is pointless. Let’s look for positive ways to move forward in an ever changing world.

Thank you again for a super clear analysis and prognosis. Unprecedented bad news certainly on the climate. Equally unprecedented is the lack of action and urgency from our political and business leaders. Perhaps they are waiting for the 11th hour before taking any action without realising that it is well past midnight. There will be no magic solution - just very difficult, but necessary decisions to cut back on our extravagant lifestyles - too much consumption and no responsibility taken by those that have the power and position to make the necessary changes. Could any leader (political or business) be prosecuted for their inept attitude to climate change issues over the past 25 to 50 years? They have not trusted scientific information and evidence in the past - making the situation far worse than was assessed and will be even more catastrophic because of the compound effect of their inaction.

More worrisome to me is the suggestion that modeling the emerging dynamics will not provide useful forecast (see “turbulence”). Climatologists like Jason Box and others discuss that a number of dynamics are not accounted for in current models, which lack resolution and math to include them in the models. Other techniques lack the data to approximate modeling. Beyond this, though is an implication the process can become chaotic, that is, they can’t run them too far into the future and expect them to remain accurate.

You are the only commentator that reflects my own viewpoint. Unlike me though you are constrained to reporting the facts. I am merely informed by them. The truth is that 20 years ago I predicted 2023 to be, as it has proved to be. What scares me is the next part of my prediction: Assuming we do too little too late; and we don’t get a super volcano type event that changes the picture entirely. People are reassured by the fact that the Earth has had all sorts of extreme cycles before. I say you need not look further than Venues to see that there is no guarantee under our current conditions. We are in an unprecedented situation of having millions of years of terrestrial organic rich permafrost(previous Eras simply did not have as much organic matter) and billions of years of temperate sub oceanic dry ice.(Most of Earth's history) In short the co2 is already awakening the methane ,if that awakens the dry ice and that awakens the biggest heat trapping potential of the sequence the Oceans themselves, we will by then be a hotter denser Venus. Specifically my prediction was/is that all data older than say 5 to10 years represents the end of the climate cycle we evolved in and that now we have reached the tipping point to a new balance. Sadly what i am saying is that the level of change that we have seen in say 60 years we will see matched in the next 5 or 10 years. Unsurprisingly (Given my analysis ) I had reached “Learnt Helplessness “ I engage now because I think we stand a chance with climate mitigation . One Idea I very much like is the idea of seeding the most desert-like parts of the Oceans. Tanker loads of Iron filings used to encourage plankton blooms .

Open to correction. A concern is the raised acidity can have an impact on the structures of marine diatoms and radiolarians. The frustules are constructed from silicic acid and thrive on the underside of ice. It's a primary source of omega 3 which is the foundation of life in the oceans. The bouyancy of diatoms is regulated by the size of the pores and oxygen produced. Diatomite and fossil oil reserves are from diatoms which fossil records show developed around the same time as mammals. Life as mammals have known it will change. Life in the oceans will also be considerably unbalanced. Always happy to be corrected.
