I’m setting up this page to organize links and information on climate chaos developments.
My position: The realist in me knows that climate change is going to be worse than expected (e.g., IPCC). The optimist in me hopes that humans will find a “painless” way of coping with the results. The pessimist in me sees no evidence of our collective ability to cooperate in reducing the pain and a lot of evidence that our personal needs will result in additional collective failures, and thus chaos is more likely than change.
Changing climate
It’s worse than scientists predicted. Much worse.
Vulnerability
- Current land elevations in the Netherlands
- https://kysq.org/lp2m/life-plus-20-meters/
- The Dutch have no Plan B (but Jakarta and Miami will be the first victims)
- “We have no insurance against this risk“
Planning for the future
- Which investments will be affected? (Invest in bonds, gold or guns, depending on your pessimism.)
