IMO the only ones actually opening panicking are the Russians. Stealing grain, farmland, oil, gas, power, etc. They know shit is coming down. (Apart from being fascist mafia state assholes)

I’m waiting for a probe to Venus to discover proof that it was humans that destroyed that planet’s previously moderate and friendly environment, and we moved here as a last resort… :persevere:

A friend of mine is a co-author on this paper. It asserts that certain economists have been severely under-estimating the economic effects of our climate catastrophe.


Estimates of economic and environmental damages from tipping points cannot be reconciled with the scientific literature

Steve Keen, Timothy M. Lenton , Timothy J. Garrett, James W. B. Rae, Brian P. Hanley , and Matheus Grasselli

We conclude that Dietz has done nothing to narrow the “huge gulf between natural scientists’ understanding of climate tipping-points and economists’ representations of climate catastrophes” (8). Future loss calculations by economists must be developed, not in isolation from climate scientists, but in close collaboration with them.
