Jargon of Possible Human Extinction at 3°C Above Year 1850 Baseline

A friend said something like, “Most people don’t understand the jargon of 2 C, 3 C, 4 C, 5 C, IPCC, and COP.”

Let me put it this way: Reliable sources like James Hansen noted November 2, 2023 in a Time article by Alejandro de la Garza, “The 2°C warming limit is dead, unless we take purposeful actions to alter the earth’s energy imbalance [by solar geoengineering],” and former Harvard Fellow Ye Tao noted in a 2020 YouTube about 7 minutes long posted by Wenyan Liao, “At three degrees C [above year 1850 baseline] we’re talking about planetary scale biological annihilation of any multicellular species [ . . . due to crossing various tipping points.]”

Young people are right that world leaders have done a worse than terrible job responding, so, as Buddhist monk Thich Nhat Hanh said, “What we most need to do is to hear within ourselves the sounds of the Earth crying.”

I am sad over 160 elephants recently died in Zimbabwe due to drought according to Tawanda Karombo in Harare for The Guardian January 17, 2024, and koalas have been scorched in Australia due to massive fires according to a 2019 YouTube by The Sun with over 47 million views.

I am grateful people in 110 countries care enough to read this blog. I am also grateful for my huge following in Singapore.
