The cult induced fearmongering just never stops. Say, I wonder when the Washington Post will stop using fossil fuels to run their whole operations?
Beware a climate ‘doom loop,’ where crisis is harder to solve, report says
The devastating effects of climate change on Earth could become so overwhelming that they undermine humanity’s capacity to tackle climate change’s root causes, researchers warned Wednesday.
They are calling it a “doom loop.”
The self-reinforcing dynamic, outlined in a report jointly published Wednesday by two British think tanks, warns of a spiral effect: Governments risk expending so much money and attention on merely coping with the impacts of climate change that they neglect efforts to reduce global emissions, exacerbating the crisis.
“We’re pointing to a potential situation where the symptom of the climate and ecological crisis — the storms, the potential food crises, and things like this — start to distract us from the root causes,” report author Laurie Laybourn, an associate fellow at the Institute for Public Policy Research think tank, said in an interview. “You get a feedback that starts to run out of control.”
Obviously, the Washington Post reporter did a reporter’s job and was skeptical, asking tough questions, demanding that the doomsaying “scientists” prove their allegations. Let’s see them
…
Oh, I guess not
The report’s authors do not believe that climate change has already triggered a global “doom loop” that is irreversible, but warn that in some places the dynamic could begin to take hold.
“We could get to the point where societies are faced with relentless disasters and crises, and all the other problems that the climate and ecological crisis is bringing, and will increasingly distract them from delivering decarbonization,” said Laybourn.
Meh. The zombie books I read have much better plots and are more believable.
