Your 'doom quote' for today: "It is, I promise, worse than you think. If your anxiety about global warming is dominated by fears of sea-level rise, you are barely scratching the surface of what terrors are possible—food shortages, refugee emergencies, climate wars, and economic devastation." - ThreadSky

I remember reading that book and then wondering why they chose to procreate. We are a ‘funny’ species.

Sort of reminds me of “The fate of the Earth” by Jonathan Shell.

Have you watched the film Mariposas Negras? Climate wars, food shortages, refugee emergencies.... all in there.

No. Thanks for the tip.

It's about climate refugees. The director comes from the island I actually grew up. Tall islands won't be hit as much by rising sea levels but we depend on horizontal rain and if the trade winds get f*cked up it's game over for us too. Basically what your quoted here. https://www.imdb.com/de/title/tt28061840/

I remember you stating recently that DWW's book had overstated the risks and the science.

Given the accelerating nature of many aspects of climate change do you still believe he was overstating the case in his book?

It's so small compared to other effects, but that we would lose the beaches, and it would be thousands of years before they reformed, hit me. We should all read that book.

May I ask if you have read “not the end of the world” (Hannah Ritchie). What do you think about her perspective?
