Summary
Renowned climate scientist James Hansen warns that limiting global warming to 2°C is no longer possible due to underestimated climate sensitivity and reduced sun-blocking pollution from ships.
His study suggests warming could hit 2°C by 2045, increasing extreme weather and accelerating ice melt. The research challenges IPCC models, arguing for a higher climate sensitivity estimate.
Hansen calls for carbon taxes, nuclear energy, and geoengineering research.
He warns of an Atlantic ocean current collapse within 20-30 years.
Let’s fix the environment by fuckin it up more.
We have been fucking it for centuries. And by the looks of things, that’s not stopping any time soon. I’d rather we have something we can do besides hoping that certain people decide now’s the time to seriously address climate change.
