My favorite thing as a PhD in atmospheric physics is reading comments in whatever climate subs disparging the pessimistic tone of /collapse.

Motherfucker if youre not pessimistic youre delusional.

So… you’re the resident expert. What’s 2050 going to look like assuming nothing changes?

I shouldnt overstate, I study atmospheric chemistry not climate modeling. But according to the IPCC a business as usual approach (RCP8.5) would put us past 2°C already by 2050 (and towards several degrees by the end of the century).

I don’t know as much about the clathrate gun as I should but last I read about it, the finding was the effects had been overestimated. I’ll check and get back to you. In any case the breathability of the air isn’t really the problem. Methane is just 30x worse than CO2 as a greenhouse gas.

Hey I checked back and yeah, you dont need to lie awake nights worrying about the permafrost methane changing the atmosphere overnight.

Our fate is not sealed by the physics, our challenges are political.
