atmospheric sulfates and climate
May. 27th, 2023 09:24 amI remember reading about this over 10 years ago, and hey, now we have research data. Dr James Hansen has a paper out in peer review that points to a probable sudden warming spike of an additional one degree Celsius by 2050.
Mike came up to Negaunee yesterday to help the boys with wiring the meadery. He wanted to talk to me about a TEDtalk he had listed to on the drive up, exploring the difficulties of switching from fossil fuel to renewable. "It's going to take a huge social investment in infrastructure," Mike said. "And at the same time that countries, economic systems, are being stressed by increased climate disruptions and growing food insecurity."
He chewed on his lip and after a minute said, "There's a movie I watched on Netflix - The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. I want to watch that with you."
And now there's this news from Hansen. I'll probably be dead by 2050, but Luke will be 50 years old. Sam and Kayla's baby, Rowan, will be 28.
Hansen says "Claiming that current scientific literature supports the idea that warming can be limited to "well below" 2 degrees Celcius is "egregious" and shows "uncritical acceptance of models and the assumptions that went into them."
