Every day, as I follow domestic and international news reports and then consider AGW climate change present outcomes and likely future ones from that same cause, I anticipate that it is likely that not only will no future day for the next several thousand years have less negative outcomes than those now, it is probable that increasingly worse outcomes day/year/decade/century/millennia loom.
This could be mitigated immensely if >1.5C is avoided somehow, but the human behavioral change necessary to accomplish this in the limited time frame available is not an achievement I expect to occur.
Staying well below +2.5C will require technological advances in carbon/methane capture/sequestration which must occur at sufficient scale within 1 â 5 decades. Iâm not betting on this.
I could not disagree with this more. Weâve forgotten how bad everything used to be, and now look at the past with rose-colored glasses.
I grew up fully expecting to die in a nuclear war, along with all life on the Earth. The threat of WWIII was a frequent topic on the news.
The last major war in Europe wasnât WWII. It was in Yugoslavia in the 1990s and killed 100,000 people.
In late 1960s and early 1970s an airplane was hijacked, on average, once every five days somewhere around the world. Many of these were in the US.
Political unrest in the 1960s, especially the assassinations of MLK and JFK, caused many people at the time to believe the United States had less 25 years before it crumbled.

Your memory must be fading, Arlo. Itâs pretty much business as usual.

The weather is bad too. Smoke and pollutants, super hot temperatures, too much rain, too little rainâŚâŚâŚâŚ..

I can remember a time when there seemed to be no real news. Maybe it was in the 90âs.

Only minor wildfires so far, but you can bet on a number of idiots causing more leading up to the 4th.

Itâs all normal. Growing up we saw ½ hour of Cronkite, Huntley-Brinkley, etc. Today we have 24/7 news. They gotta fill it up with something.

No such thing as ânewsâ. Itâs just the same old âstuffâ happening to different people.

Is it just me or has A&J become less about them and more about current events?

I would like nothing more than to be wrong. But.
Every day, as I follow domestic and international news reports and then consider AGW climate change present outcomes and likely future ones from that same cause, I anticipate that it is likely that not only will no future day for the next several thousand years have less negative outcomes than those now, it is probable that increasingly worse outcomes day/year/decade/century/millennia loom.

The past was just as bad as it is now.

1939-1945 was pretty unsettled, too.
