Red Alert: Planet in Peril

Climate Emergency Forum discusses the latest report from the World Meteorological Organization on climate change indicators in 2023. The report reveals that 2023 was the warmest year on record with many indicators breaking previous records.
This video was recorded on April 2nd, 2024, and published on April 21st, 2024.
The report reveals that 2023 was the warmest year on record, with global temperatures reaching 1.45°C above pre-industrial levels, effectively crossing the 1.5°C threshold that was considered a critical limit. All climate indicators, including greenhouse gas concentrations, ocean temperatures, sea level rise, glacier melt, and extreme weather events, broke previous records and showed accelerating rates of change.
A major concern highlighted is the unprecedented rate of increase in atmospheric CO2 levels, which has doubled in the past 15 years compared to the previous decade. Methane and nitrous oxide levels also reached new highs, with methane increasing by a staggering 264% compared to pre-industrial levels. The report emphasizes that these indicators are not just breaking records but also increasing at record rates, signaling a dire emergency that scientists are struggling to explain fully.
The need for governments and corporations to wake up to the reality of accelerating climate change and take urgent action is highlighted. The report also touches on the sociological impacts, such as internal displacement of people due to climate stresses, food insecurity, and the potential for geopolitical instability as a result of these factors.
Overall, the WMO report serves as a stark warning about the rapidly deteriorating state of the planet's climate system, with all indicators pointing towards a worsening crisis that requires immediate and comprehensive action from all stakeholders.

It seems like the corporations are playing an endgame scenario- going for the highest profits they can get before societal disruption or collapse.

[@neverrl3379]

They know, they will soon die anyway. All the rich people are old. They don't even care about their own children, because they have lost hope. They imagine the worst outcome possible and simply accept it. Yea. That's what you get with this new world order. And the pollution doesn't slow down what so ever.

[@neverrl3379]

And if you'd think humans will choose technology that pollutes less, you are mistaken. Yet again we could choose for example Salt batteries, which have less capacity and less lifetime than those solid state ones. But humans will always choose what generates the biggest profits. Yet again humanity will choose technology that pollutes (because lithium is very reactive and thus burns as it degrades or as it's damaged). Never, ever fu*king expect humans to go the slow and green path. It just won't happen. I even dare to say it can't happen. Greed is in the way.

[@neverrl3379]

And from another perspective they'll tell you that there is no more time left, so we are forced to do it quick, the greatest change of our species in terms of technology. No more time left for the slow and green path, which is ironic.

The sad reality is that most humans think of "life" as human life. They believe that the Earth is their birthright as human beings. They fail to honor and recognize the fact that they are merely one aspect of an interwoven symbiotic complex of ALL living things. I know that many contemporary humans consider the Gaia Principle as being "woo-woo" but I believe that that outlook is our fundamental flaw, homo sapiens "achilles heel".

Global temperature was about 0.2 C warmer each year of WWII. Our bombs are stronger, warming the atmosphere more, and are delivered with rockets, warming the atmosphere warm. The other difference is that we have 420 ppm CO2 in the atmosphere. 6 years of 0.2 C increase would create 1.2 C increase just from the warfare.

It is more than 1.5C past the actual baseline of 1750. The baseline was moved to later on the basis that measurements were more accurate after 1850. What a tragic and base betrayal. When are these discussions going to relate to the measurable and ongoing catastrophe in the biosphere? Not a word about the savage decline in insects and plankton - the base of the food web - with obvious consequences for larger animals including us. Meanwhile, the precariousness of food production increases with now both amount and nutritional quality of crops declining. It is absolutely time to prepare for imminent impact.

Every year now all I hear about about is records being broken in various domains. One of the sickest things I've heard is about resource-greedy humans loving the fact that the sea ice melt near the poles will make it easier to drill for and pump even more fossil fuels to the surface. I sometimes wonder to what extent the atmospheric oxygen level will end up if all of that stuff is burnt. We already see that which isn't burnt creating floating plastic islands in the ocean where it is killing ocean life and seabirds. You could argue that global warming isn't happening fast enough because it it happened really quickly, people would hit the panic button everywhere and do something serious about it instead of hoping they'll last the distance before they die of old age. I see all of this as a massive failure in human thinking. If the population had been managed on a sustainable basis way back everyone could have enjoyed a much more modest and sustainable use of natural resources and avoided all this. Now it is too late.

[@tealkerberus748]

We're not going to run out of oxygen. But we probably will have so much CO2 in the outdoor air that we can't function out there - we need to be able to expel carbon dioxide from our bodies by breathing, and if the concentration in the air we inhale is too high, we just can't get rid of what we're producing. Also it's not actually a problem of too many humans. It's a problem of a small percentage of humans using truly extraordinary quantities of resources to live a life that is wildly in excess of anyone's needs, and a larger minority being forced by economic structures to use excessive resources to live a life that only barely meets their needs, but costs the planet wildly out of proportion to what those people get from it. It's too late to prevent the catastrophe, but it's not too late for each of us to reduce our personal impact on the situation, and insulate ourselves as much as we can from the inevitable.

It's all because they expect the warming to reach +1.5 degrees Celsius or +2 if the situation turns bad and they don't see how this tiny change could harm them. Most people fail to understand the average global temperature rise translates to very different values locally, depending on the amount of land/sea in the area, ocean currents and jet streams, monsoons and latitude.

You have those people saying that nothing’s gonna happen for another 60 to 80 years and then you have those on the other side talking about how bad things really are. Here’s the biggest problem of all. Most people don’t see what’s coming. People will look at millimeters of sea Level rise and think to themselves that’s nothing. People will look at 1.5°C and think that’s nothing. I don’t see any big changes in the weather. I don’t see the ocean being higher. The mentality is if I can’t see it, it doesn’t exist. I don’t even talk about this issue anymore because I’m constantly made fun of and called chicken little acting like the sky is falling. I have been laughed at and ridiculed. Nothing has happened because they see nothing that’s tangible.. data on paper means very little. These are the reasons why nothing will be done. It’s already too late and it’s just going to get worse but until people get to experience what worse case scenario is, they’re not going to believe you.

I haven't read the report yet, but one thought that has been kicking around in my head about ocean temperature rise is could the slowing AMOC be the main cause? If the water isn't mixing at the pace it has traditionally, wouldn't that indicate that water is remaining at southern latitudes for much longer durations and therefore exposed to more intense solar energy? The cold patch of sea in the north Atlantic makes me think it's like a pool of melted ice from Greenland that just hasn't mixed into the rest of the sea water as fast as it might have in past. Not to mention melt volume has increased substantially in recent years. As a laymen, looking at the facts, sea surface temperature rise seems to point directly to the AMOC failure. Thank you CEF!

Thanks for what you all do. Big fan of Paul.

With regards to Canadian impacts from those warmer waters, expect less ice. And obviously fish populations would be impacted. I can see Cod moving even further north. For landlubbers, more storminess would be expected. In fact, when in Canada last summer, we saw very strange weather and it appeared to alarm the locals.

Thanks for covering this, agree re food but also water and climate refugees being the issues that (potentially) get politicians to act. Given the election of more extreme governments though at will take a number of domestic severe weather events and food crises to make the people demand change. Heat deaths, especially wet bulb temperatures have the potential to create multiple heat island disasters in coastal cities with forest fires in land.

Hopefully it gets warmer than the IPCC Reference year 1850, one of the coldest years of our interglacial. Failed harvests and hunger everywhere in 1850. We did not even reach the average temperature surface temperature of the holocene of about 15 C and are still 1 C warming away from the temperatures of the Holocene Climate Optimum which lasted from about 10.000 to 5.000 BP. Perhaps CO2 emissions can help to retard the begin of the overdue next Ice Age - this would be the real catastrophe.

[@shivsankar2185]

Development at the cost of Natures destruction has led us to the brink of extinction

[@martiansoon9092]

Sea level rise was the new thing in this report. 4,77mm per year is a huge thing. And it keep accelerating, because of multiple forcing and rising emissions. This means 5 cm in decade and this amount is more than doubling in 20 years? Or way less, because of the drivers. And it adds more water for all storm surges too. One crude estimate could be that rising rate accelerates by 1,5 times by 10 years. (1,5^2 is 2,25 that is in these limits 2,13*2,25 = 4,79 vs 4,77 by WMO.) That would mean about 100 millimeter sea level rise per year by 2100 (4,77*1,5^7,5 = 98). So this rough estimate is nearing 3 meters (2,8m) of sea level rise by 2100 (used decadal averages to combine this like [98+66,5]/2 for 2090-2100). Just hoping to be wrong in this issue.

[@martiansoon9092]

And this was done without already risen sea level.

[@gregwilvert]

Paul predicts 7m by 2070 and that intuitively seems plausible given how things are accelerating, future phase changes

[@tealkerberus748]

The rate of sea level rise has too many chaotic factors and sudden tipping points in it to make any reliable forecasts about "this much by this date." What we do know, is that when all the ice caps have finished melting and the water in the oceans has expanded the total amount forecast due to warming, we're expecting approximately seventy metres total sea level rise. There will also be much bigger hurricanes/typhoons/cyclones bringing storm surges to places that don't have that now, so as a general principle, just don't buy land less than 100m above nominal sea level and you should be fine as far as that issue is concerned. As compared to assuring a reliable supply of healthy food, clean water, and wholesome air, sea level rise is a very easy problem for the individual household or family to navigate.
