So so many psychological barriers being reinforced by interest groups for fossil fuels

Must be the Avengers Doomsday announcement a few days ago that has people not paying attention. Something much more important. /s

A lot are still in denial

I point it out where I can and note the speed it has increased since the Paris Agreement was signed. But it feels like nobody is aware at all outside doomer communities.

Many ships will switch from max 0.5% to max 0.1% sulphur fuels when entering Sulphur Emission Control Areas (SECAs). Some invest in scrubbers, which take out >95% of sulphur and impacts emissions over the entire journey. See graph by @gmjournalist.bsky.social for boxship (= containers) newbuilds:

Because humankind would have to change its behavior fundamentally, nobody wants it. We would like to go on and on like for the last 100 years, growth, consumption and fun.

because the people in power die naturally by that point anyway so they dont care.

I don't think we'll reach 2°C next decade. I think we'll reach it this decade. I reckon the next el Niño will push us over, especially with the loss of AME from the change in shipping regulations.

With a sufficiently certain probability, this will be the case, and we are discussing our personal happiness in the coming years. Negligence or consequence? Both, and still tragic.

Not the way Trump & co are going. We'll see it THIS decade. 😨😱

The problem is too abstract and there is no silver bullet solution. If you really want to understand what is happening, read Carl Jung. He understood human psychology better than anyone. He actually predicted much of what is happening.

Looks like 560 PPM CO2-equivalent is a real possibility. That’s the 2XCO2 scenario (from 280 ppm pre-industrial). Currently (2025 Feb) at 427, > 1/2 way there. Previously on Earth, that was a 7 °C increase. Every achievement, every possibility, lost.
