We need answers for why 2023 turned out to be the warmest year in possibly the past 100,000 years. And we need them quickly.

isn't that because accepted models can't predict the weather? and climate models that can say we are far beyond fucked if we can't leave this rock?

[–] joostjakob@lemmy.world 33 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No matter how much we fuck it up, this rock will always be more liveable than anything we can realistically find elsewhere. This planet is our spaceship, we better start treating it like one.

I think it's better to say "this planet is our home."

[–] cynar@lemmy.world 9 points 8 months ago

A home is (in many ways) a passive thing, we have long past that point. We have taken active control of too many of the life critical systems.

[–] joostjakob@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I don't know, there's lots of things I would risk doing at home that I wouldn't try on a spaceship. It's also a metaphore that can hopefully speak to the kind of people who think a fresh planet would be the solution.

I see what you're saying now.

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 29 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The old model is based on historical data.

We’ve broken out of the trend on historical data.

New models… are guesses using the same historical data.

We really don’t know what is about to happen.

If we can terraform another planet, we can just terraform Earth instead.
