Earth Hurtling Toward 'Hothouse Trajectory,' Scientists Warn in Tipping Points Analysis

[Brenda]

In the lead-up to the Trump administration effectively destroying the US Environmental Protection Agency’s ability to combat the fossil fuel-driven climate emergency, an international team of scientists warned Wednesday that “Earth’s climate is now departing from the stable conditions that supported human civilization for millennia.”

“Policymakers and the public remain largely unaware of the risks posed by what would effectively be a point-of-no-return transition,” Wolf added. “And while averting the hothouse trajectory won’t be easy, it’s much more achievable than trying to backtrack once we’re on it.”

Who are you going to believe? The Chump Administration or every fuckin scientist in the world (not paid off)?

1. A hothouse earth means extinction.

Even at 3-4° warming, our economies and societies will break down. Massive loss of life.

But hothouse earth is extinction of most if not all life.

People don't grasp it or pay attention to it because it's too enormous and think it won't touch them. Too far into the future, so they think. But it may be coming soon enough for our grandkids to experience the impact. We have got to hammer that home somehow because caring about generations into the future is not something our species is good at. But our grandkids?
