From Noriega to Maduro: The Long US History of Kidnapping Foreign Leaders

The real questions for us are -

1. How long will it be, before they come for you?
2. When will we as a species make it stop?
3. Are we already too late? 

What do I mean by that last one?

Deadly heatwaves will intensify for 1,000 years after net zero

 

Deadly hotter and longer heatwaves, which worsen in severity the longer it takes to reach net zero carbon emissions, will become the norm. New climate research, published last month in Environmental Research: Climate, challenges the general belief that  after net zero conditionswill begin to improve for future generations.

The researchers used climate modelling and supercomputers to understand how heatwaves will respond over the next 1,000 years, after the world reaches net zero carbon emissions. They found:

“Heatwaves are systematically hotter, longer and more frequent the longer net zero is delayed and reach their highest values when net zero is delayed until 2060. Moreover, most regional trends show no decline over the entire 1000 years of each simulation, indicating that heatwaves do not start to revert to preindustrial conditions. Some regions even display significantly increasing millennial-scale trends when net zero occurs by 2050 or later. Furthermore, the longer net zero is delayed, the more occurrences of historically rare and extreme heatwave events.”
