Alright, so we pump energy into a chaotic system and obviously the extremes will get more exteme. Stronger hurricanse, colder hurricanse and snap freezes, deeper floods, wet bulb events further north than you think possible, whatever. This is the known unknown.
I am existentially afraid of the unknown unknowns. At what point do the phytoplankton I’m currently breathing the poop of have a mass extinction event? All of human civilization is about to drown on dry land and I spend 5 days a week maintaining software that charges people for turning on their lights.
I crave death I crave oblivion death to america death to capitalism death to me.
Short of a degree in climate science, where could I start to learn more about all this? Is there anything or anyone (maybe a subdiscipline or group of authors) to be cautious of?
Late response but I just read a shitload of scientific journal articles. Where some people read magazines or scroll twitter, I just read journal articles. I spent at least a dozen hours a week digging through PubMed, Nature, and PNAS.
I’ll see what I can find, thanks.
