I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold
Nvidia's pre-Computex keynote address was certainly something, and none of it felt good.
This rush to AI will kill everyone.

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere are surging "faster than ever" to beyond anything humans ever experienced, officials say
Planet-warming greenhouse gases are "building up, much like trash in a landfill," one researcher said.

Mexico City is just the beginning. Here are 11 other cities at risk of running out of water.
What makes a city most at risk of a water shortage isn't how much water it has access to. It's how that available water is managed and distributed.

'The last 12 months have broken records like never before': Earth exceeds 1.5 C warming every month for entire year
Every month has broken the temperature record of the previous for the past 12 months, and the signs of climate breakdown are already here, a new analysis shows.

I awoke to a dank, chilly, overcast morning today...and I'm in Southern California. How is it that I am always missing out on this global warming that is supposed to be devastating our planet and threatening the very existence of our species (and many others)?

C’mon, Jan, this climate crisis is complicated. More complicated that understanding the patina that develops when shoos are buried underground on purpose.
There is but one fellow here who understands subterranean patina and you want a simple explanation on global warming?
That’s why they call it climate change now because no one is getting the climate they expected or desired.

to their lives being in peril? yes, i would also say that.
yes the one showing ocean temperatures being fantastically higher than at any point in history was quite interesting. ultimately, this is just a bunch of statistical modeling bullshit that doesn't discount, in any way, shape, or form, how we're fucking up the planet to an extent that will get us all killed.

OK so lets assume this is a fairly sound study and gives usable/accurate enough results. I believe they claim that a (non-man made) deviation of +/-8 degrees from the 485m years mean temperature was the case. How likely do you think it is humanity can cap this deviation at 1.5 degrees?

0% chance. Its absolutely impossible at this point. We are 100% going to lose large swaths of land to rising tides. If the AMOC shuts down then we're totally fucked.

Things are really starting to look up, and l still think my predictions will come true. Within 10 years renewable energy will be a thing of the past, and electric cars will be an idea we all laugh at.
Green hydrogen schemes in Australia have suffered massive layoffs and billionaires have abandoned the project.

Looks to be the same in New Zealand

A big wind farm is also been abandoned.
thebuglenewspaper.com.au
Even better is that BP getting out of renewables and is going back to gas and oil. If we want cheap energy and to keep business competitive, we need to "drill baby drill".
I understand many overseas countries are also dropping renewables and getting into nuclear, gas and maybe coal.
Lets hope all the renewables fail and we get back to fossil fuels and get into nuclear. Fingers crossed

Almost 14 million new electric cars were registered globally in 2023, bringing their total number on the roads to 40 million, closely tracking the sales forecast from the 2023 edition of the Global EV Outlook (GEVO-2023). Electric car sales in 2023 were 3.5 million higher than in 2022, a 35% year-on-year increase. This is more than six times higher than in 2018, just 5 years earlier. In 2023, there were over 250 000 new registrations per week, which is more than the annual total in 2013, ten years earlier. Electric cars accounted for around 18% of all cars sold in 2023, up from 14% in 2022 and only 2% 5 years earlier, in 2018. These trends indicate that growth remains robust as electric car markets mature. Battery electric cars accounted for 70% of the electric car stock in 2023

Because it is destructive to the habitat. Too much land clearing to make way for endless miles of solar panels and wind turbines. The land is not supposed to be covered with such ugly things. + farmers are having their land taken. + they are toxic in landfill etc. + they make energy bills too expensive.

Climate scientists warn Nordic ministers of changing Atlantic Ocean current
A collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could put living conditions for people in the Arctic region and beyond at risk, according to the scientists
www.theglobeandmail.com
Oh this thread name changed.
"A collapse of the ocean-current system would increase cooling of the Northern Hemisphere, raise Atlantic sea levels, drop precipitation over Europe and North America and shift monsoons in South America and Africa, according to the United Kingdom’s Met Office."

Meanwhile 2 months ago in Valencia:
In Spain, for example, Valencia has been experiencing the driest hydrological year on record, to the degree that the agricultural and farming sectors are facing losses of over EUR 250 million as crops and livestock are being lost while production cost overruns are increasing. Tourism, another mainstay of the region’s economy, has also been affected.
