Jump onto early tipping signs to maximize remediation chances

William P. Hall on February 12, 2022

Tipping points should be identified early and acted on fast to tackle the climate crisis. Social change needs to be dramatically accelerated.

A take on American evidence for global warming

William P. Hall on February 12, 2022

We live in an interesting time where established trends and NB4 events pointing to global collapse seem almost ordinary.

by Thomas Neuberger, 10/02/2022
In the Climate World, Everything New Is Old Again: We live in an interesting time, tucked between the start of a world-historical collapse and stories about it so old they sound not special at all.

…. Isn’t There a Game On?

It’s an interesting time we live in — tucked between the start of a world-historical global collapse and stories about it that are so old they sound, well, almost ordinary, almost not special at all.

The next phase of this interesting time, of course, will get everyone’s attention, since it involves a scale of suffering that even the comfortable can’t escape. But that’s for later, of course — after it really will be too late for anyone to escape at all.

For now, though, simply note the contradiction. If it weren’t so tragic, it would be the stuff of farce. But please don’t dwell on this too long — you might miss the game.

To combat global warming focus more on methane

William P. Hall on February 11, 2022

The US EPA [and others] use the wrong global warming potential for methane and radically underestimate the importance of controlling it.

By Phil McKenna, 09/02/2022 in Inside Climate News
To Counter Global Warming, Focus Far More on Methane, a New Study Recommends: Scientists at Stanford have concluded that the EPA has radically undervalued the climate impact of methane, a “short-lived climate pollutant,” by focusing on a 100-year metric for quantifying global warming

Despite science some still deny climate change — why?

William P. Hall on February 11, 2022

That human caused climate emergency exists is now settled science, yet too many who see it happening are still in denial. How do we fix this?

by Below2C, 05/02/2022 in BELOW2°C
Why Climate Denial Is Still Happening: You don’t need to be a scientist or climatologist to know something is not right. You just need to look out your window or look up. And yet, millions still won’t see the warning signs. Why is climate denial still happening when the evidence of climate breakdown is all around us?

Turn White climate anxiety into climate action

William P. Hall on February 10, 2022

White Americans [and Australians] become very anxious about climate change. This needs to be turned into effective action to do something about it.

by Sarah Jaquette Ray, March 21, 2021 in Scientific American [blog]
Climate Anxiety Is an Overwhelmingly White Phenomenon: Is it really just code for white people wishing to hold onto their way of life or to get “back to normal?”
