James Hansen says we’re underestimating global warming acceleration — is anyone listening?

1. I’m listening! I’m quitting my job this year and living off my small retirement at 38. It won’t last me until 70, but I don’t like my chances as a 70-year-old in 2057 .

2. No. We (politicians, media, etc) only listen to billionaires and their minions.

3. Me!

4. I’m sure Trump isn’t, southern states will pay with no help from the cruelty party.

5. they are banning research and scrubbing data/terms from current publications

   the plan is to fix the carrying capacity issue.

   the plan is to reduce the waste to have more living room.

6. No that can actually help make a change is listening.

7. We’ve been talking about how it’s been accelerating faster than expected and predicted, and that the rate of acceleration has also been increasing for a long time, but we get ignored. When I’ve linked resend papers showing this in comments both here and in other science subs over the last decade I get people saying that’s just the fringe opinion and that IPCC and other extremely conservative forecasts don’t say that. Athena a few years later the IPCC forecasts are updated to include what we’d been saying and sharing research about and were getting slammed for.

   Too many people are too heavily invested in finding ways to avoid paying attention.

8. Everyone knows it’s happening, but the rich people in charge won’t do anything that could potentially slow down their accumulation of wealth.

9. The fascists are. They are giddy at global warming to harm vulnerable groups and create refugee crisis to justify anti-immigrant sentiments.

10. Yep! The educated powerless are totally sad about this while the bootlickers laugh and yell drill baby drill.
