Our world operates according to the fundamental laws of physics.amidst the uncertainty that shrouds our future, one truth remains immutable: exponential growth, must eventually yield to the forces of nature. it is not if but when.

We must face the limits to our economic growth. Civilization thrives on high availability of energy and material resources, but at the cost of pollution and depletion. Traditional economics trivializes these constraints and risks hastening our collapse

Evolution in the Anthropocene!!
We’ve broken the machine so badly that even the birds are building nests out of our broken war toys.
A sick symphony conducted by late-stage capitalism.
We are collectively walking Into the wall.
Eyes wide shut.

THE DIE IS CAST: "there's no event in the history books that combines the current global population with the impending fertilizer shortage and the strength of the coming El Nino. We are about to witness an unprecedented event that will push crops around the globe to their limit."

I almost hope this paper gets torn apart in peer review. if it survives intact, we're not staring into the abyss—we're already falling into it.

⚠️ Projected additional warming in the NEXT 10 YEARS: +0.5 to +1.0°C
Let that sink in. One entire degree of global warming. By 2034.

[michael @fardos]

The authors removed El Niño & aerosol noise to see the true underlying climate monster. What's left is a nightmare:Post-2015 warming trend: 0.48°C per decade (5x faster than before).
That's not gradual change. That's a climate emergency cascading out of control.

[michael @fardos]

The acceleration is likely driven by feedback loops not fully captured in climate models (e.g., declining planetary albedo due to cloud changes, increased atmospheric moisture). This means real-world warming may be outpacing model predictions.

Not peer-reviewed yet, but if it is then we are in the deepest of deep sh*t

Warming of almost half a degree C a decade and a 0.5 to 1C rise possible within the next decade

Conflating weather with climate while wilfully ignoring 19th-century physics — CO₂ absorbs infrared — is embarrassing.

280 ppm pre-industrial → 430+ ppm today.

What part of those basic physics are you finding difficult to comprehend? Genuine question.

[Bill McGuire @ProfBillMcGuire]

A big piece in today's @guardian

Please note, I am being optimistic in my scenario😮

Today was the hottest May day in the UK since 1944.
So if today’s temperature is due to global warming, what was the deal in 1944?

Climate scientist Professor Bill McGuire :

‘I know from conversations with fellow scientists that many feel desperately sad and frustrated about where our world is headed and the bleak future we are bequeathing our children and their children, and I am no different. Knowing what I know, it is no longer possible to see my kids without wondering just what incarnation of hell they will have to face in later life.’

There,I fixed it for you .the impossible future
Climate damages → decay accelerates → J → 1 (decay ≈ production) → inflation → ∞ (runaway hyperinflation)
Wynne & Derr assume AI boosts real output.
But decay is physical. You can't outrun thermodynamics with ChatGPT.

[michael @fardos]

Neoclassical view: 1.9% growth forever, maybe +0.3–3% from AI.

Physics-based view: Growth = energy growth. Climate decay → hyperinflation → collapse.

One erases thermodynamics. The other is built on it.

[michael @fardos]

"J → 1 → inflation → ∞" in plain English:

J = decay rate ÷ production rate

When J hits 1, every new thing you make just replaces what fell apart.

That's the climate endgame Garrett et al. warn about.

The old of civilization is always falling apart even as it newly grows. Additional decay forced by climate change need only grow by 0.1%/year to lead to civilization collapse by 2070, sooner for higher rates. We will collapse slowly then all at once.

Spiralling global temperatures (1850-2026)

It is exactly 10 years since I first put this animated graphic of changes in global temperature online. #ClimateSpiral

It instantly went viral.

People watched it over and over again.

It still offers the power to shock a decade on.
