Interesting about the dual peaks. I'm still getting up to speed on El Niño, as of a few weeks ago it had not been something I dug into before. Zeke's multi-year comparison chart (#1) ends in December, but the forecast chart does s

Well said. Generally speaking, most people I speak to about climate have a mental model for "climate change" as a dimmer switch. The planet gets a little warmer, littler warmer, littler warmer, and we get a bit more uncomfortable

Which post is that? Let's say I take it that whatever post you're referencing is slimy, built on disaster capitalism, and downright bad. And your being jaded is totally understandable. To that I remind you: "All that is neces

Trees and seagrass can address the sequestration side. You can find examples here on Frontier's site of companies that are taking biomass (plant stuff like tree waste) and sequestering it in mines or other storage deep underground. W

Indeed! Umbrellas, poofy jackets, backup batteries, we've created lots of innovations to make society more resilient when the weather gets weird. And, at the same time, polluting the climate makes the climate system far more susceptibl

On every stable planet, pollution is accounted for in every transaction. Stripe is just building where the puck is going!

Strange timeline indeed but Stripe is a big backer for climate solutions and climate research, including a $2B carbon dioxide removal initiative called Frontier: https://stripe.com/climate

El Niño is already underway. Stripe's climate scientist Zeke Hausfather built a dashboard here: https://dashboard.theclimatebrink.com/#enso We're way off the charts already.

This El Niño is off the charts for any ever recorded in human history. Stripe's climate scientist Zeke Hausfather came to AirMiners to tell us about what's next: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0-Xu_H3Wo8o In 1877

Hmm. If being "politically permissible" has shifted, it's probably away from taking action at all. What's shifted in the other direction is that it's getting too damn hot here and some people are starting to notice.

I've decided that I'm going to reverse climate change and everyone is welcome to come with me to figure it out.

Another dimension to add is how global warming is uniquely heating up at the 4,500 to 5,500 m elevation mark, coincidentally right where glaciers are (tldr properties of how our atmosphere works and the pollution we put in it ends up being

For those of you with a one track mind like me: each CO2 heat pump uses <10 pounds of CO2, roughly the carbon dioxide emissions from driving 10 miles. So no, switching everyone to a CO2 heat pump will not magically store all our emission

Makes sense. The challenge I have is that a lot of people on the planet think the same things. So it's more than just some person spouting weird things off a weird website. The entire output of our civilization right now is higher and

Want to do something about this? El Niño this year is going to be especially crazy, worst in human history by a large margin looks like. I'm putting together El Niño Climate Week to work on averting the worst impacts. It's a good

They tell you you have a particular type of power. You have the power to sort your trash, nothing wrong with that. But what's left off and out is you have the power to change what dozens, thousands, millions, and billions of people do.

Thanks for leaving it up! I'm on the perimeter of the HN community generally, but one observation is that what you said is present in a lot of discussions here. Kind of an "insistent powerless". I wonder if sentiment analysis
