Thread Name: What's the weather like where you are?
Subject: RE: What's the weather like where you are?
This summer marks the tipping point of the Amazon basin that now is producing more carbon via burning than it sequesters.
Is it wierd that we are going to let the world burn? Yes.
From my perspective on people it is normal to let it happen in this post tipping point era.
If we were serious about putting a hold on climate crises we would need newly created forests the size of THREE Texas'.
Machines to power tech to bury carbon would be too big and require more power than would be effective.
So we are on a one way ride not because of pessimism but inaction.

Instead of a war in stinking desert Sudan it would be life saving to have a world war against the Amazon arsons and Bonisaro. Thats not going to happen so the new normal will be more extremes.

All the best solutions are behind us. However the next best solution is to start today. Will we? Nope, we are going to let the world burn and have wars over the quickly shrinking fresh water out west and move away from all the new flood zones.
