YMLADRIS: Fuhrer je prece Lid :)

R Hallam

Okay, so you are a German general on the Eastern Front in WW2. You have been collecting the stats on Russian tank production. For the last 10 months it has been going up and there is no reason to think it will stop. The factories are on the go, the US are sending in materials etc. The stat started at 20 units, has been going up by 1 unit a month, and has now reached 30 units. Everyone in the German army top command knows that once it hits 30 units it's game over for the Nazi regime. Big problem. No one wants to tell the Fuhrer. So you come up with a great idea. You suggest we take the average of the past 10 months, which is just 25 units. Phew.

We have just hit 30 units on the climate, meaning hitting 1.5C. But the super clever journalists at our British Broadcasting Corporation have put out that "this does not mean the international 1.5C target has been broken, because that refers to a long-term average over decades". So it's okay everyone. Stay Calm and let us do the Maths.

Remember, you can't be totally certain you are dead till you are dead. Oh yes, and then you will be dead.

TADEAS: Tak teoreticky mohou být kdekoliv, to jak to osobně vnímají se nepromítá do veřejného vystupovaní, nebo zákonů (bavíme-li se o fosilním průmyslu, politicích, CEOs, bankéřích...), osobně si myslím, že dost z nich bude mít alespoň nějaké povědomí, vzhledem k tomu, jaký je zájem o nemovitosti na Novém Zélandu, podzemní bunkry, zemědělskou půdu,.. což může být spojeno s více než jen klimatem, ale i konflikty a dalším.

Ještě mě napadl termín "willful ignorance", nevím zda by přímo seděl na skupinu, o které se bavíme (jisté aktivity jsou opakem ignorování), ale dost lidí žije v tomto "úmyslném ignorování" reality.

Willful ignorance occurs when someone intentionally avoids information about the negative consequences of their actions. A new meta-analysis found that 40% of people will choose to remain ignorant of how their decisions affect others. The evidence suggests that willful ignorance provides people with a built-in excuse to act selfishly.

CHOSIE: a v jake fazi jsou ti co vedou&vedli (dez)informacni valku potom co se ze svych vlastnich studii dozvedeli o co jde?

PAN_SPRCHA: Na nastenku, at to za tech 5-10 let muzem overit.

Big American Banks Ignore Climate Change At Our Peril

TADEAS: to je sice hezký, ale kdykoliv se potkám s nějakým denialistou, po pár větách zjistím že je to jen ignorant.

TADEAS: s tímhle si dovolím nesouhlasit. Po mnoha a mnoha zkušenostech jsem naprosto přesvědčen že i kdyby zasáhl střední Evropu pětka tropický hurikán tak třetina lidí bude řvát že se nic takového vlastně nestalo protože u nich to zrovna jen sundali pár střech jako normální vichřice, třetina že je to přirozený jev který tady vždycky byl a třetina začne opatrně připouštět že možná by na tom mohlo něco být.

TADEAS: staircase to hell

As a Climate Scientist, I Knew It Was Time to Leave Los Angeles

Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus Fled L.A. Fearing Wildfires. His Old Neighborhood Is Now a Hellscape

Multiple neighborhoods have been completely burned down, including in the town of Altadena, where our guest, climate scientist and activist Peter Kalmus, lived until two years ago, when increasing heat and dryness pushed Kalmus to leave the Los Angeles area in fear of his safety. "I couldn't stay there," he says. "It's not a new normal. … It's a staircase to a hotter, more hellish Earth." Kalmus discusses an op-ed he recently published in The New York Times about the decision, which he says was toned down by the paper's editors when he attempted to explain that fossil fuel companies' investment in climate change denial and normalization has only accelerated the pace of unprecedented large-scale climate disasters. "This is going to get worse," he warns, "Everything has changed."
