The Climate End-Game is when global temperatures exceed 3°+ Celsius over this next century and beyond.
If that were to occur, there could be multiple tipping points sparking each other at the same time, jacking the scorching heat even higher.
Scientists say the world needs to think about a worst-case climate senerio. A team of international researchers says we need to start preparing for the possibility of a "climate endgame" as extreme weather events keep ravaging the planet.
They tell us the risk that global warming could lead to not only collapse of civilization, but to human extinction is dangerously under-explored.
With our overheated planet, we have had so many apocalyptic warnings that it has spawned a whole industry of books (Cli-Fi), movies, and video-games — a kind of disaster voyeurism.
At the moment, the chances of going over 4°C. are small, but this is our first climate catastrophe party that we have thrown, so it’s all speculation.
We need to be realistic about the four horsemen of the Climate Endgame: famine, extreme weather, conflict, and infectious diseases. The ultimate purpose of this area of study would be about better understanding, which prevents the worst case scenario and being prepared for it.
We have already baked billion of tons of carbon into our oceans and atmosphere, so no matter what preventative actions we take, the temperatures and the chaos will plague us for the next century.
Of course, we all know the solution: we must largely stop burning fossil fuels within a decade, period. If we fail, then we risk crossing tipping points that could push global climate chaos out of humanity’s control.
In the episode we also explore concepts of gloom and doom vs. giving the public the facts of our dire situation so they can be part of the solution.
While that’s all very nice, keep in mind that we have the technology of the gods and the politics of narcissistic children. Will we meet the challenge, or amuse ourselves to annihilation?
At the end of this episode, we share a historically proven, scientifically supported, researched verified method of solving the climate monster we have unleashed. In fact, it may be the only hope we have.
