Post Reply - Climate collapse

The coming days will be colder/more normal...

Climate and weather are not the same...However climate collapse will bring more extreme weather...

On climate collapse "lots of scenarios". From very alarming...extreme rise within a few years-ending life... To "we may still have some room" and "there may be positive feedbacks"...

However indications from the recent past/last two years indicate the extreme weather events are both increasing and getting stronger...And it is the extreme event-NOT the "average" that may do most of the killing...

Heat waves/extreme rain and urban areas are a bad combination. 

Both are increasing...we now have lots of urban areas with a population of 1 million+ -often near water (river/sea/delta), "wet bulb" temperature risks are going up...

"Wet bulb temperature" means a body can no longer cool itself-gets overheated/exhausted and may die...

Sea level rise also is increasing-will NOT go smoothly...Methane release may be "explosive" (Arctic Earthquakes...) 

-Politics FAIL to even start looking for real solutions-like politics fail in pandemics and wars...So "we learn the hard way" if we learn at all...

The largest cities often house a lot of poor people in bad places...so landslides/flooding is a risk more for the poor. 

Pandemics and climate collapse are interlinked; Malaria, cholera-on top of lots of other diseases-will increase...

The good point; We know the risks..

The bad point; We do not do anything with that knowledge
