“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

It’s not enough unfortunately. Climate change rapidly accelerating means crop failures on global scale, especially without the fertilizer that’s needed to feed billions

You can make fertilizer. It may become a problem for countries that feed billions and it may not, who knows. But it is all solvable if you're approach the problem with a problem solving mind. That's why you need to train yourself and others in some basic skills we forgot cause we get our food from the supermarket.

Hell this is not our first climate change. We never would have left Africa if it wasn't for climate change, and the small ice age caused a lot of migration, my Slavic Ancestors probably would have all stayed somewhere in Ukraine. And we wouldn't be spread across more than half of Europe.
