Berkley Earth puts the 2024 land ave. temp at 2.28 degC above the 1850-1900 baseline. So, about 3 yrs from reaching 3 degC, when many experts predict a 50% dieoff of humans, in 2028. Thank God I'm nearly 80! God save the children (from being born now?).

Capitalism is the logical result of the discovery of crops in the "agricultural revolution" as we transitioned from the H-G lifeway to our current sedentary ag. systems, thus generating storable/saleable/tradeable "capital" surpluses. This is brilliantly explained in "Before Writing", Denise SB.

Here’s the clip.

At the current rate of GAST increase, as documented by C3S and Hansen, etal, we may see 5 degC over the 1991-2020 baseline by 2042, total extinction level 6 degC by 2047. Last one out, turn off the lights, if you haven't already succumed to heat exhaustion.

Please include me on the "Doomer" list, gmiklashek435@gamil.com

Both the recent Hansen paper, "Global Warming Has Accelerated", 2-3-25, and the C3S, "Hottest May on record spurs call for climate action", have recorded 0.2 deg GAST increases ANNUALLY for 2023-2024, on the same hockey stick curve that Eliot has posted, as have many others. So, 3 degC by 2032.

I posted a lengthy reply on substack.com, however, a couple of points here: our EEI is not just from solar heat retention, but equally due to the 8 B tons of coal we burn annually and the 100 M+ barrels of oil we burn daily. At the current EEI, we reach 3.04 degC by 2032.

This increasingly sentient economic entity puts profits above people, nature and planet: the cheaper the labour and the quicker the natural devastation, the wider the profit margins.

On a scale of 1-10 how do you rate yourself in comparison to machines? Caution: trick question

Businesses in the mid to late 19th C began adopting engineering precepts and military organization as they began to 'professionalize'...
For decades businesses aped engineering... even common lexicon adopted the cogs in a wheel analogy.

This retired psychiatrist thought of CFS/ME as a consequence of adrenal fatigue/failure and treated it as such with considerable success. I've had to rebuild my own adrenals several times. James Wilson's book is a good guide.

I love it! Thanks for litening the load.

This 20"x16" #oilpainting was I did before #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis. At the time I just wanted to paint water…so I did. I have weird dreams of water, don’t know why…😊 Turns out its the piece that receives the most compliments

The reason we are not seeing more virulent, fatal variants is well recognized by virologists. A successful pathogen does not kill its hosts, but, rather, uses them to multiply and spread. Thus, we may be seeing greater numbers of sublethal viruses as endemic now, thus high rate of LONG COVID.
