Re: major European climate change plan – very little information about the actual substance of the legislation or the issues seen by protestors. It’s all very hazy.
i can sympathize with the farmers – are they being compensated for these additional protection measures (eco-friendly pesticides) or are they being shouldered with the cost? meanwhile the three biggest “innovations” of the past decade – crypto, fracking, AI would be comfortable as handmaidens of the apocalypse if you were to personify them. Get rid of those three things, and severely limit private air travel and you would do a lot more than probably all these green deal regulations.
Completely agree with you. The costs of changing are pushed upon those who cannot afford it nor have as much power to fight it. While technology is given room to grow. Trying to defy the technology gods seems to be impossible (even if they are mostly propped up by subsidies/”investments” government and private).
Technology has rallied as are savior even as they amplify this mess.
People just don’t want to let go of the conveniences we have and all the investment we’ve put into a “green” techno utopia.
All of the industries to blame are trying to point the finger at the others. All of them should be forced to reduce together, which will happen, either through our own planning, or natures.
“The critical limits of climate scenario modelling [Actuarial perspective]…” – this article is a fantastic example of why Climate and Economy (founded on Gail’s analysis) is such an important blog. This article could be pinned at the top of every thread.
Anyone else noticing a pattern?
First, starting about this time last year, global average sea surface temps and global average 2M air temps take a big step change of about 0.5degC. No, not a blip, a year later and temps are still several standard deviations away from a “normal” distribution despite a rapidly fading El Nino.
Next, the world finds out the hard way why “global average temps” are a really terrible way to think about the climate as local temperature records over land are blown to smithereens by the thousands, and by jaw dropping margins of as much as 5 to 10degC!
Ouch. Not looking forward to the next big 0.5degC spanking, my knees are shaking as it is.
Time for a sip of that of kombucha, Jerry.
Wondering if readers think this is an accurate prediction of the near-ish future 10-50 years, give or take. What am I missing? What would you add?
Because of climate change, no county’s future will look like todays. Our world is created by interconnected global supply chains and as climate change starts to destroy the stability of communities, our supply chains will become more and more fractured, as drought/floods/fires put more pressure on local populations causing political unrest. So even if the mining or processing facility isn’t affected by those droughts/floods/fires, political unrest can effect the ability to get those resources out of the country. Middle East North Africa countries are the WORST countries to be in as they will be the first to feel extreme climate change effects and have large populations.
On top of this you’ve got debt debt and more debt, private and public which, as resources become more expensive thanks to climate changes effects on our global supply chains, those scrapping by will only spend on necessities. Meaning a huge drop in sales for other more frivolous industries, meaning less jobs, meaning more scrapping by, meaning more defaults and bankruptcy, personal and private.
Climate change isn’t getting better, instead is has significantly sped up beyond worse case scenario, this year alone thanks to a super punch from El Niño has been quite literally off the charts. This pushes more permafrost from melting faster, more ocean temps rising/acidity, more ice melting, which will increase climate change speed in the long run, even as El Niño eventually leaves. I can only imagine how bad it will be next time el nino comes, or the time after that and on an on.
Nature is decaying, and that decay is going to start effecting our supply chains. Now people can live with soooooooo much less than we currently have. So are you going to die? Unless you are very unlucky to live in a region with flash flooding/ fast fires/ extreme heat waves or a very poor country with no access to basic food/water. Then no. It’s very unlikely climate change will kill you in your lifetime. So in that sense you are safe. But we will all likely have a big reduction in quality of life, (except those who are very wealthy) as products/services become more and more expensive and good paying jobs become scarcer (also technology will exponentially contribute to that as well).
For the near future, I’m actually more concerned about our economic situation. We borrowed tons of money for a delusional future which has not materialized. Defaults and bankruptcies seem to be coming. Especially from 3rd world countries who borrowed tons of money and now owe a lot of debt. The debtor countries are going to go in and take over their assets. Making those countries even poorer and leading to even more political unrest.
It’s all thanks to our overconsumption, but we are like any other living organism when we find ourselves with a energy source (in this case oil) we will consume and grow until we can’t.
So most countries are safe-ish besides those in border disputes and countries with resources more powerful countries want, especially water. .And yeah as climate change impacts those countries near the equator more and more, we will have more migrants and more political unrest in the countries they are going to.
But its mainly quality of life that will be impacted or at least the life you are currently used to. Luckily if you collapse now. Learn to live with less, learn how to make your own necessities, learn to be less reliant on a decaying system (grow your own food, stay healthier by exercise/stress reduction/healthy eating, (you do not want to rely on the healthcare industry) understanding your wants vs your needs) the changes will not feel so hard. I’d also recommend getting into a job within necessary infrastructure, electricity/water/sewer waste water /trash /internet. These are the most important needs for a society and have immense jobs stability.
“…this year alone thanks to a super punch from El Niño has been quite literally off the charts.”
The unnerving thing is that this El Nino is not super-strength and does not sufficiently explain the warming we are seeing. It doesn’t explain the heat in other oceans, notably the North Atlantic. The sudden drop off in Antarctic sea-ice extent these past three years is also a very large question mark.
I wish I could give the rest of your comment a more considered response, Nat, but I am forever time-starved. Broadly, I am more pessimistic than you.
Yes, I am not saying this El Nino is strong one, but any El Nino (even the weaker kind) has a much stronger effect. Because of the warming already caused by global warming. My guess is all El Nino’s will always bring catastrophic extremes from now on, no matter it’s actual strength (though of course stronger ones will be much worse). Which will overall make things worse, even when La Nina’s comes back.
I find people more resilient and complacent than I originally surmised. Meaning as people continue to die from climate change related effects, the rest will move on and continue on. Even as tragedies pile up. Things will break and people will die, but thankfully? most people are delusional enough to keep things trucking until they physically cannot.
Now after 30-50 years- that’s going to look awful, but I am talking about during the transition from a stable world to an unstable one.
Nat,
I will add a bit more to the broader pessimisim that Panopticon alluded to. Right now even in wealthy countries people eat food from the oceans. But if production of this food drops off people will need substitures for those calories. People will then demand more food from land based agriculture. But wealthy countries including the US import food from abroad. The US might not be a net importer of food now, but the EU is. And the crop proction of the US is much less diverse than the EU is. I do not know eth exact percentages but when I travel through the mid west I see corn, soy beans, wheat, and occasionally sunflowers. Therefore I would say that even Mericans should not expect ot be immune from famine as the agricultural system is not really robust.
Here in the US, we consume more calories than we need, and waste more than we need. If we stopped eating fish today, we would be able to find a substitute. The only reason we don’t is an economical one, not an issue of food insecurity.
During world war II, Britain gave people food ration cards and asked everyone to start growing victory gardens. Here it will be the same. We will get ration cards for whatever grains/crops are growing and then supplement from the local communities. All of the yards in our suburban housing will come in handy.
We know how to keep food lasting longer. Allowing for stretching of food. Now, after 30-50 years, yes growing any type of crops will become more and more difficult, But with regenerative agriculture on one side and genetic engineering on the other, food will be had. Just not in the quantities and variates we see today. At a subsistence level. And as climate change impacts kill off more and more people, and population decline continues, hopefully the need for excessive mono-crop industrial farming will lessen.
I feel like people don’t realize how much we actually have because we overconsume. but we can live with a lot less and will. (I am mainly talking about countries not in the direct line of fire and without extreme overpopulations) like MENA- China, India, equatorial countries. Those with more than they can feed will see a breakdown, which will create political unrest or war, some will die, some will migrate and impact the region they move to. Creating more political unrest. Like dominos.
I believe collapse is going to be more gradual and we will get more creative before the climate gets to a point that is truly unlivable. Our globally linked society will decay, not die all at once.
I do not think that it is likely that people in western countries will reduce waste. Nor do I expect td see much grown in victory gardens. People in western countries have become by and large so specialized, especially in the United States, that most have very few skills outside of what they need to do their job on a day to day basis.
Once industrial agriculure breaks down, I expect to see looting of stores at first and then looting of victory gardens. And then scavanging the country side for every morsel of wild berries, and squirrels, and rabbits, and pigeons, until near the end a sparrow will be a feast.
When will a sparrow be a feast for someone in Iowa or Minnezota? Sometime between 2026 and 2050. Not only that a wide spread nuclear war could bring things to that point much faster.
Fish Consumption by Country 2024
“Fish and seafood are popular all over the world in nearly every culture. But, as the numbers show, there are some significant differences between nations and regions.
Overall, China is by far the world’s largest consumer of fish, with 57,474 tons annually. That’s more than four times greater than the next biggest, Indonesia, at 12,154 tons, with India close behind at 11,016 tons. The United States takes fourth place with 7,544 tons, and Japan rounds out the top five with 5,842 tons.”

What’s a Hyperobject and Why Can’t We Control Them?
March 20, 2024
“…back in 2021 after I discovered our lack of free will which condemns us to make choices based upon our biological (see the Maximum Power Principle) and cultural conditioning (see this article). This led me to realize that we truly lack agency to be able to control hyperobjects such as nature, climate change, ecological overshoot, the biosphere, etc. Not only is the predicament of overshoot too difficult for most people to grasp, many people unfortunately place it in the category of problems (with answers or solutions) rather than predicaments (with outcomes). Attempting to reduce issues seen as problems tends to turn those issues into bigger problems and/or predicaments. Often this is due to those working on these issues to break the issues down into parts rather than treating the holistic issue (for instance, trying to “solve” the symptom predicament of climate change by attempting to reduce another symptom predicament of overshoot, emissions, none of which can be reduced without reducing overshoot itself).”
What my main aim in the “what should we do?” articles was had to do with pointing towards Living Now. I wanted to demonstrate that human society collectively suffers from the illusion of control and that we’ve never truly had control over any of these aforementioned hyperobjects, we don’t have control over them now, and we will never control them. To think we have agency over them is magical thinking. In other words, I’m offering no solutions nor am I recommending any particular actions to be taken (although I fondly refer to reducing technology use in many of my articles since that is the only way to reduce ecological overshoot). The paradox of reducing ecological overshoot comes in the form of concomitantly reducing the aerosol masking effect, thereby increasing climate change. So, while I see reducing overshoot as being an actual requirement being it is going to happen regardless, I have no agency to make any of that happen beyond my own sphere of influence (and only with folks who actually already wanted to do that anyway!).”
