Unfortunately might be true. I was listening to an episode of radio lab and they even pointed out that we’re in a solar cycle right now that is supposed to be cold and the peak was in 2019. So as the solar cycle swings back it’ll only get worse and worse… not all doom and gloom, humans will adapt we have the brainpower to do it. But I’m gonna miss the wildlife we have today
Solar cycles repeat every ~~11 years~~ 5-25 years. It's not a situation where the sun will give off more and more heat for a long time. For the purposes of climate change, effects of the hot cycle is miniscule compared to what greenhouse gasses do.
Wvery 5 to 25 years. It's not a set cycle.
I understand this, however when you’re in the middle of a cold cycle and we’re setting record temps daily. That’s a bit worrisome for just how much we’ve fucked up. There are also different kinds of cycle larger ones spanning decades and the mini ones you mention, on the podcast they mention we’re in a mini cold cycle
Nah. Antarctica will still have winters even in the craziest scenarios.
Oh well. Civilisation was nice while it lasted.
Was it though? Must’ve been nice for those few that hoard all the wealth
Was it, though?
Yeah, you can only sort-of make that argument about the last couple of centuries, and you have to say that all the genocides were worth it for vaccines and a steady food supply to do so.
I'm not convinced civilisation could collapse entirely do to climate change, though. Break into small warring pieces maybe, but as long as there's still arable land somewhere people aren't just giving up. And even in the crazy 10C scenarios Antarctica stays on the cool side of temperate.
“He he. I’m in danger.”
This is fine.
