related, due to slash & burn actions in the Amazon, the region as a whole now expels more carbon than it absorbs

the “lungs of the planet” as it’s been called are in trouble

If the gulfstream...AMOC gets disrupted/dissapears (as some are predicting and there is supporting evidence) the climate as we know it is going to be turned on its head nearly immediately. Predications on that range from years to decades....but it is consistently weakening yearly .

I saw a documentary on this years ago. It claimed that it would cause drought in the East US and then heavy snow in NE Canada possibly causing a new ice age.

Crazy stuff.

That’s why “Climate Change” is a more appropriate term than “Global Warming”. While the overall average temperature is increasing there are locations where the opposite is the case

[TDub]

I think "possibly causing a new ice age" refers to more than "there are locations where the opposite is true".

The U.N. Climate Report Is a 'Code Red for Humanity'

https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/p ... -code-red/

In the future, when historians are doing their work, many of them in underwater archives, they are going to be mystified by the role played by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Golly, they will say through their respiration devices, why didn’t anyone listen to these people? On Monday, the IPCC issued yet another report on the climate crisis, and the only way it could have been more direct about the imminent threat to human habitation is if you tied the report around a brick and threw it through a window at Exxon HQ.

[...]

After a ship sinks, there always comes a point where the Coast Guard announces that its efforts have changed from “rescue” to “recovery.” I have a feeling from this report that we are at that kind of moment right now. So much of the damage appears irreversible that it’s time to make plans on how we’re going to live in a radically transformed biosphere.

[...]

All of this was avoidable, of course, if we didn’t fundamentally believe that the climate crisis was essentially a political debate. The parallels to the pandemic* are frighteningly exact: the scientific community is gradually acclimating itself (and us) to the fact that COVID is not going to be eradicated, but that, rather, it will be one of those diseases that is a part of being alive in this world, or whatever’s left of it. Welcome to Happy Fun Monday.
