But US society, like a new pwME still unfamiliar with the costs of <a href="https://aus.social/tags/PEM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PEM</span></a>, is staring down a cycle of “crashes” from which we won’t be able to easily return. We haven’t treated bird flu as a serious health problem, and probably won’t until it explodes into the population with the onset of airborne human-to-human transmission, at which point – if the COVID response is our example – we’ll have lost hope of controlling it before the virus’s significantly higher mortality rate strikes a meaningful blow. Long COVID isn’t a problem until we can find no other explanation for why millions of people are unable to work, school performance and children’s health decline in unison, and no one can remember what it feels like not to be sick all of the time. The climate crisis requires no changes to our consumption patterns until our major cities burn, at which point the solution is to consume more.

She realised “the problem was way bigger than climate” and began reading about systems collapse. “Once I dug into that, I couldn’t unsee it,” Wilson says.</p><p>>Wilson wanted to write a book that would help everyday people navigate impending collapse, “while being really clear that there’s no fix for this”.</p><p>----</p><p>I would qualify that with the suggestion thier is in enginnering terms but human behaviour won't let us.

I keep seeing reports (several quoted by me here below) that we averaged above that in 2024, so I find this predication on a pipe dream HIGHLY misleading.</p><p>Even just wordings suggesting that the crossing of some discete boundary will trigger an effect, but that not crossing it will not, is misleading. It's not like 1.49°C will leave us with no loss of diversity, but 1.51°C will hit us with all these effects.</p><p>What needs to be said more plainly is this: significant crop diversity is being ever more lost in real time now, and this loss is a result of global average temperatures that are dangerous and getting moreso. That they are a specific value on an instantaneous or rolling average basis gives credibility and texture to this qualitative claim, but no comfort should be drawn from almost-ness nor from theoretical clains that action could yet pull us back from a precipice that there is not somilarly substantiated qualitative reason to believe we are politically poised to make.</p><p>Science reporting does this kind of thing a lot. Someone will get funding to test whether humans need air to breathe but some accident of how the experiments are set up will find that only pregnant women under 30 were available for testing so the report will be a very specific about that and news reports will end up saying "new report proves pregnant women under 30 need air to breathe", which doesn't really tell the public the thing that the study really meant to report. Climate reporting is full of similarly overly specific claims that allow the public to dismiss the significance of what's really going on. People writing scientific reports need to be conscious of the fact that the reporting will be done in that way and that public inaction will be a direct result of such narrow reporting.</p><p>In the three reports that I quote below, the Berkeley report at least takes the time to say "recent warming trends and the lack of adequate mitigation measures make it clear that the 1.5 °C goal will not be met." We need more plain wordings like this, and even this needs to have been more prominently placed.</p><p>There is a conspiracy, intentional or not, between the writers of reports and the writers of articles. The article writer wants to quote the report, but the report wants to say something that has such technical accuracy that it will be misleading when quoted by someone writing articles. Some may say it's not an active conspiracy, just a negative synergy, but the effect is the same. Each party acts as if it is being conservative and careful, but the foreseeable combination of the two parts is anything but conservative or careful.</p><p>- - - - - Temperature references follow - - - - -</p><p>«The global annual average for 2024 in our dataset is estimated as 1.62 ± 0.06 °C (2.91 ± 0.11 °F) above the average during the period 1850 to 1900, which is traditionally used a reference for the pre-industrial period. <br>…<br>A goal of keeping global warming to no more than 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) above pre-industrial has been an intense focus of international attention. This goal is defined based on multi-decadal averages, and so a single year above 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) does not directly constitute a failure. However, RECENT WARMING TRENDS AND THE LACK OF ADEQUATE MITIGATION MEASURES MAKE IT CLEAR THAT THE 1.5 °C GOAL WILL NOT BE MET. The long-term average of global temperature is likely to effectively cross the 1.5 °C (2.7 °F) threshold in the next 5-10 years. While the 1.5 °C goal will not be met, urgent action is still needed to limit man-made climate change.<br>»<br><a href="https://berkeleyearth.org/global-temperature-report-for-2024/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">berkeleyearth.org/global-tempe</span><span class="invisible">rature-report-for-2024/</span></a><br>(CAPS mine for emphasis)</p><p>- - - - -<br>«WMO confirms 2024 as warmest year on record at about 1.55°C above pre-industrial level<br>…<br>The global average surface temperature was 1.55 °C (with a margin of uncertainty of ± 0.13 °C) above the 1850-1900 average, according to WMO’s consolidated analysis of the six datasets.
