The problem is not just temperature, is speed. The idea was to avoid the 1.5°C mark, by 2100, but we are reaching it now, while still having the feet on the pedal, while the reached compromise by most nations were to try to be carbon neutra

So instead of Blame Canada they will sing Blame Brazil? When names collide everything start to lose meaning.

bad outcomes -> drastic societal changes -> we get to 2.5C anyway, but with some sort of dystopia attached. The bad outcomes doesn't have to be uniformly and evenly distributed. There will be a lot of people negatively affected,

So you more or less have a copy mechanism, assuming that that information is carried somehow passing through the black hole process, with some structure to be replayed just because, and, what is the selection process? How many universes you

Where is the replicator? Evolution doesn’t happen just because. Copies are made, not all identical, some get to the next iteration, and if what makes them different gives them better chances to get to the next stage, then that difference ma

It's more like "social engineering" (targetting LLMs) than malware. A site that influences its (human) users to buy, vote, "invest" in scams and so on is malware?

Looks like translating a positional numbering system from ancient cultures than ruling out or not if they had the concept of zero. It may be a single use symbol, here is nothing, instead of being part of bigger amounts. Numbering systems do

No Vesuvius? If we are talking about historic records or getting into culture that should be one of the top ones. And if we are talking about climate effects on mankind, even if no written records, Toba could had unmade history 70k years ag

Is not the same a record that may be broken in the next 100 years than one that will be broken most days till end of year. One is an event, the other is a running process with no clear end, besides that won’t be the current point.

"highest temperature on record"... so far. There are still ~4 months till peak El Niño, and then some months to spread effects.

It is not exactly like using the same password in multiple sites because you just need one remote site that stores your password in plain text or simple enough to reverse to compromise all the accounts that use the same password. For asymme

Predicting how the gravity interacts on just 3 bodies is a very hard problem. Now we are dealing with a very complex system (not just the climate one) with a lot of pieces, interactions, feedback loops, and not yet known important component

Remember that this is just a piece of the complex system that is the global climate. And over it, there are more systems affected, including human ones like food production or economy. Something this extreme may cause from a severe disrupti

Too bad all seems that we are heading to even faster rate of warming. It may end being something we will see by next decade. And it won't be the only big thing that will be sensibly changing by then.

The article may not take into account the possible effect of knowing about the Dunning-Kruger effect (or cultural sayings that goes in a similar direction) may bias measurements. Before it was widely enough known it was not a factor. Also,

This year Europe's fires are not the start. Few years ago we had very extended Australia fires, US/Canada fires, and other not so put in the spotlight fires in other countries around the world. At some point they diverged enough f

What about (extreme) weather? The nice pictures looks like being in open sea, and there big storms may have an expensive impact if not everything is taken into account.

That should be the scary part. We know how El Niño affects world's weather, but it is also a symptom of how much heat the ocean is absorbing. That core problem won't end this year or the next one, and it will keep disrupting globa

Why to put front and center that chat app? I mean, is not something that makes it unique, if the app itself can run in android and iOS then it is just a chat app, with far less users than i.e. whatsapp. At first I thought that it was an AI

That 3°C is about the yearly average of global temperatures, from deserts to poles, night and day, all year round, and maintained for several years. That is not weather, but it’s more like system energy. Now, some regions get more average h

We should be able to draw the rest of the owl to get there. So far what we got is more inequality, less rights for people but more for corporations (and immunity to consequences/abuses). Getting even more power will make the ones that
