  1. I guess you can keep singing “la la la I can’t hear you” and pretend everything has always been this way. But the time to question if it’s happening is long over. Right now it’s obvious to say don’t move to Phoenix. Don’t move to Florida. Don’t move to Texas. And time to think about what resilience means to you.

  2. Extremely, anyone telling you otherwise is lying or a moron.

  5. The sooner you worry – and act – the better.

    If you’re in a hot place move to a cool one while it’s affordable. Full stop.
    Careers can happen anywhere. Being early is all we have.

  6. We should be very worried. The people that don’t care are trying to hurt and harm the people who care most. 

  7. Leon Simons on Twitter seemed to demonstrate an increase of 0.46C difference between the 2015 and the 2023 even though, as far as an event goes, 2015 El Nino was stronger.

    His conclusion “That implies a decadal warming rate of about 0.4°C, in line with our estimates of rapidly accelerating global warming!”

    I respect his views because he was the first one I saw pushing the idea of the shipping aerosol termination shock, and then Hanson got onboard and did a paper with him. (Correct me if I am wrong)

    If he is right then when we stop polluting things will get much, much worse before they get better. So, with termination shock, we will likely see 3C before we get a chance to normalize things, and it will probably be sooner than a lot of people had expected.

  8. Extremely. The climate crisis will define the rest of everyone’s lives this century.
