I'm a homesteader of sorts who's very collapse and overshoot aware. We're on a one way trip over the cliff.

People assume the ENSO cycle is stable. Observations seem to be disputing that. In an increasingly chaotic climate system all bets are off.

Extreme ocean downwelling is occurring now off the coast of Ecuador and Columbia in the eastern tropical Pacific. The surface current here is all flowing eastward and converging and sinking. This is never the case except in El Niños. (But we aren’t in the El Niño phase of the Southern Oscillation now, we’re in the Neutral phase.) Without an El Niño, the Humboldt current flows westward from Ecuador and the Columbian current flows northward along the Pacific coast of Columbia. The opposite is happening now and to an extreme degree. It’s like an El Niño is taking shape starting in the eastern tropical Pacific instead of the far western tropical Pacific which is unheard of. The El Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO)’s oscillator in the far western tropical Pacific is always the trigger for starting El Niños. Could an El Niño be on the way in “reverse order”? If that is true we are in a whole new ballgame with ENSO and perhaps a key part of the Earth’s ocean current system.

2°C by 2050 is nonesense, there's no avoiding 3°C by 2030 realistically. This was already locked in well before the 1.5 lie.

Why we’re in big trouble - in two simple graphs. It’s much worse though because the vast majority of the imbalance is increasingly absorbed by the uppermost few hundred meters of the increasingly stratified uppermost ocean. The Earth Energy Imbalance has increased by 338% since 2004. Until the last few years most of it was being absorbed by the deep ocean. Not any more. This is why global warming is accelerating. September alone saw a + 0.2 degrees C (+ 0.4 degrees F) rise in global average surface air temperature.

We are now at 1.4 to 1.5 degrees C (2.6 F) of warming compared to pre- industrial times. If we don’t take drastic action to reduce greenhouse gas emissions post haste and begin new ways of sequestering much of it already in the atmosphere we will see + 2 degrees C (+ 4 degrees F) within about 5 years and + 3 degrees C (+ 6 degrees F) within about 15 years. At + 3 degrees C humans rapidly go extinct.

We're on track for 3°C by 2040. 2.5-3°C is extinction level for humans.

"Unless global heating is reduced to 1.2°C as fast as possible"?

Fuck, who writes this nonesense? My second question is, who's dumb enough to buy into it?

Nevermind.

I keep asking the climate adaptation crew how they plan on adapting to having no food or drinkable water. I never get an answer.

Last winter for three months running, the temp anomaly in the Arctic was 10-15°c above normal, a record. It's currently forecast to be 15-20°C. If this happens there'll be no denying we've lost the Arctic. I believe we already have.

This last August saw a record low for average August Arctic sea-ice thickness, the first time below 1 meter, with data going back to 1979.

Still waiting for September data. Will we see a new all-time record low? The Climate 8-ball is drunk again.
