Hi Dr Jacobson When I studied Oekologie 40 years ago as a student you would have been called a Doomer. Now I would call you Yesterday man. It's at least 40 years to late for this kind of a discussion. We are in an extinction event with us humans on the top of the list. Sorry but we need to discuss a total different topic now which again no body is willing to pick up. Next big event on the list is Methan Hydrates blowing up in the shallow waters of the Siberian Shelf. Look it up how much Methane is stored there and what it will do to our climate in just a few years. I really would be very surprised if there will be more than 1B people living on our planet by the end of the century. I think that's a very conservative number. Intelligence is the Abillity to adapt to change. ( Steven Hawkins ) not trying to fix it , hoping, rebuilding in the same place and so on...

If the oceans can no longer absorb excess heat, we can expect to see a number of catastrophic changes in the next two years, including: • More extreme weather events. As the oceans warm, they become more unstable and more likely to produce extreme weather events such as hurricanes, typhoons, and cyclones. These events will become more frequent and more intense, causing widespread damage and loss of life. • Rising sea levels. The oceans are already rising due to melting glaciers and ice sheets. As the oceans warm, they will expand even further, causing sea levels to rise even higher. This will inundate coastal areas, displacing millions of people and causing widespread damage to infrastructure. • Destruction of coral reefs. Coral reefs are important ecosystems that support a wide variety of marine life. However, coral reefs are very sensitive to changes in water temperature and acidity. As the oceans warm, coral reefs will start to bleach and die. This will have a devastating impact on marine life and the global food supply. • Spread of diseases. Warmer temperatures will create ideal conditions for the spread of diseases, such as malaria, dengue fever, and yellow fever. This will lead to increased outbreaks of these diseases, particularly in tropical regions. • Mass extinctions. As the climate continues to change, many species of plants and animals will be unable to adapt and will go extinct. This will have a cascading effect on ecosystems, leading to further disruption and damage. These are just some of the catastrophic changes that we can expect to see in the next two years if the oceans can no longer absorb excess heat. It is important to act now to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the worst effects of climate change.

The elites overwhelmingly are to blame(as much as they pass blame on us they still have had the power to change things) and have had the means to mitigate the damage for decades, it's just not in their best interest when it comes to greed and power, that's what it really comes down to. Electric vehicles are mostly a scam, it's less liberating for car owners(like being able to work on your own car, even a lot of mechanics won't know how to work on an EV) and easier to control even when a person 'owns' a car it could still easily be controlled remotely by WIFI, just like your bank account can be froze if you say things they don't like the more digital currency become the norm. I actually think it's the mark of the beast, without the mark of the beast you can't buy or sell, it makes sense. Besides that the elites have way more control over weather than people realize, they mostly use it for their benefit at our expense rather than for our benefit. When you look at the response to natural disasters and the train derailment in Ohio it seems obvious how very little they care, and if anything they take advantage of vulnerable people(especially for child trafficking like thousands of orphans in Ukraine being unaccounted for, children of illegals can't be traced, ect) and even create problems and vulnerable people just to 'help' out or create more co-dependency between people and big government. It's why they're trying to drive people from rural areas into cities, most rural people are conservative so will be outnumbered by liberals in cities so there's that, but rural people also tend to be more independent if they hunt, fish, raise animals, ect. We know fires in the Amazon were started on purpose to both clear land for cattle ranchers but also to drive out the indigenous people, IDK why people think other wildfires are any different around the world as if governments in first world countries aren't as corrupted. They can just blame it on climate change(not that there isn't some truth to it) and use it to control people and scam them with things like electric vehicles or to go vegan, and shame anyone that doesn't.

There is actually a theory that earthquakes will increase due to the rise of sea levels. Not only the extra pressure of weight but due to water's ability to enter previously unlubricated fault lines. And then when the water gets into those faults as it warms with depth the water will expand putting immense pressure on the rock helping to separate/lubricate the fault.

I enjoy this dialogue, thank you Josh Molina and Dr. Eliot Jacobson. One observation I have about this topic is the sense of realism, and how upsetting it can be for people to deal with the cognitive dissonance involved in this topic, once one really peels back enough layers. The same Doomerism effect can happen when one looks at the obstacles to change in the political and economic spheres, in terms of the entrenched positions in regards to real change. That being said, there are a couple elements which your Environmentally Doomed Mindset positioning brings to mind for me... there is also a level of calm for people who are greatly distressed and then decide they are going to end it... they get calm, because they feel like they can let go (I know this isn't pc and Im not condoning or advocating for suicide under any circumstances) but it speaks to the way that people are able to put their mind at rest, by letting go of their fear and their stress... feeling like they have a solution for themselves. We are all Doomed, everything is doomed, the planet itself is doomed, every species, animal, plant and microbe which cannot survive deep space is doomed. We have the privilege of pondering our existence, for this brief flicker of a candle in the darkness of infinite and eternity. There are solutions which you cannot comprehend, there are options which you are not aware of, and there are forces at work which you are not able to quantify or even contemplate, in your perspective. The anxiety of wanting to solve it, when it is not entirely yours to solve, might be part of what makes this conversation so uncomfortable for many. We are in the process of creating forms of intelligence with greater capacity than our own species currently possess. Some say our technology can't save us, maybe that's just an obsolete way of thinking at this point. The net sum of our 8 billion minds, might not be able to come up with a 1 over 8 Billion elevator pitch fractal of an idea which might be relevant to this massive conundrum, but maybe the sum of 8 billion minds and all that has come before is just the pedestal for what comes next. Maybe we can't save ourselves and our species, but maybe we can create something which can, and that has always been true, for every birth since we were singular cells reproducing in primordial mucus. Maybe the Doom is the smallness of trying to crawl out of yourself, without Faith.

There are no solutions to predicaments. That’s what we’ve created for ourselves, a predicament; eight billion humans with a globalized civilization, that only exist as a direct result of fossil fuels. That remain utterly, inextricably dependent on them for literally everything we do. Every meal we eat, every article of clothing we wear, every medication we take, every last little thing we need, never mind want, to simply get through a day. Every aspect of and step in the process depends on the workhorse diesel engine that we have no replacement for. That has us gobbling up our own life sustaining habitat so fast that, even if we had a second planet Earth we’d still have an ecological crisis on our hands. All life we’ve created depends on us and will die with us. All technology we’ve created will cease to function the very moment our ability to produce massive quantities of fossil fuel dependent electricity fails. Including AI, just another fossil fuel dependent technology that will cease to be the moment the power goes out.

Blue Ocean Event on the Arctic ocean August of 2025, and release of latent heat index there. Methane explosions in the arctic ocean and the tundra summer of 2026. Exponential increase in land based heating summer of 2026 resulting in 80% crop failures in the Northern Hemisphere. Mass destabilization of world governments and civil unrest as grocery stores go empty winter of 2026/27. Martial law established in US, Europe and Asia spring of 2027 forces hundreds of millions of would be climate refugees to "die in place". THE WILD CARD=Nuclear plant meltdowns in Europe and Asia summer of 2027 begin to irradiate the atmosphere resulting in billions of casualties across the globe by 2028.

Looks about right, maybe a little generous with your crop failure expectation, already failing at an exponential pace, to me that looks to happen sooner. Only thing I take exception to is your nuclear meltdown timeline. The ionizing radiation released from the meltdown of just a handful of existing plants currently in operation would strip away stratospheric ozone, killing most life on Earth within a few days. Power grid failure due to extreme temperatures could cause that to happen any day now. And you’re leaving the impacts of extreme heat out of your equation in general. It’s easy to simplify; when it gets too hot for the living world we depend on for life to carry on living, habitat for humans will be lost and we will go extinct. We’re already well into, at the end actually, of that collapse of the Earth’s biosphere.
