Each year, governments' inaction on dramatically limiting greenhouse gas pollution results in increasingly dire forecasts, and it has been known for some time now that raising the Earth's global temperature above 1.5° pre-industrial levels could result in a global warming feedback loop. The future seems bleaker and bleaker. But "Climate Futurism" imagines a world where humans continue to thrive.
Recently, researchers predicted that 2023 will be Earth's hottest recorded year, 1.43° above pre-industrial levels. A/c use is expected to rise as a result, further increasing energy use. Ocean temperatures rose to over 101° in Florida this summer. Emissions have continued to climb, and scientists found that the heating effects of CO2 compound the more of it is present. Additionally, a study found that harmful aerosols emitted from cargo ships were cooling the Earth by forming clouds that blocked sun rays, until regulations required the use of cleaner fuel.
