You probably have heard different governments and environmental groups saying that at 2100°, they still expect the global temperature to be about 2°C warmer than preindustrial levels.
As you will learn in part from the videos and articles above, you too will realize this is utter, complete, and total hogwash!
Those convenient and deceptive projections do not properly allow for and account for amplifying tipping points, climate feedbacks, and nonlinear reactions in their climate calculations and forecasts. (Current climate science innocuously mislabels these three major climate danger factors as “uncertainties.”). When you account for amplifying feedbacks, tipping points, and other expected nonlinear reactions in complex adaptive systems like the climate, the earth’s temperature will actually be about 7.8°C warmer in 2100.
The painful facts
To put these above projections and temperatures in time perspective, we will probably cross the 2°C increase mark by around 2031 at the carbon 450 ppm level. (James Hansen, a world-leading climate researcher, estimates that when we hit carbon 450 ppm, the eventual actual temperature will reach 2.8°C.
At 3 and 4°C increases, humanity will experience mass extinction and massive worldwide crop failures. At 4°C increases, humanity will experience hell on earth.
Human extinction will occur in near totality somewhere between 5 and 6 °C, and it will not happen in 2100 but far sooner than that, sometime between 2050 and 2070.
Unfortunately, intense human suffering begins to grow exponentially at about 2031 when we cross the carbon 450 level and trigger a cascade of new climate tipping points, feedbacks, and nonlinear reactions. From 2031 to 2050, life for most of humanity becomes an ever-increasing nightmare of one devastating and record-breaking new climate catastrophe after another.
That is our real climate future. As long as governments and environmental and climate education organizations hide the truth from the Earth’s population, it will take even longer to stop the toxic pollution of the atmosphere with greenhouse gases that cause the climate change catastrophes and global heating described above.
