A veritable whos-who of the scientists behind our physical climate understanding of net-zero have a new paper in Nature, making the case for "Geological Net Zero" where fossil CO2 can only credibly counterbalanced by permanent removal: https://t.co/aFN1pNYuzC

UN, IHME, VID, all produce population forecasts- and they always seem too optimistic. Human population will start declining much earlier than the UN expects.

This has been obvious for a long time. @jburnmurdoch is right to highlight it--

But why does the error persist?

Breaking like a ninepin inside. We were fulfilled but also
petrified. Tied up by an adhesion, this is the story that we like
to tell: divided into parts.

wow. this is jaw-dropping. "South Korea’s total fertility rate, the number of births from a woman in her lifetime, is now expected to drop from 0.78 in 2022 to 0.65 in 2025" https://t.co/34n9rZ8Fsq

@danavachon OK I was wrong wrong wrong. "Adams was the victor in all but Staten Island, where Sliwa got 65% of the vote to his 28%. He did best in Manhattan and the Bronx where he got 78% and 74%, respectively. He received 69% of the vote in Brooklyn and 59% of the Queens vote."

It's quite possible that two things will be true: 1) climate change will be a huge problem, and 2) humanity will be better off overall in the future. These ideas are often treated as incompatible, but they're not necessarily. Good paper/thread: https://t.co/88zX9ef27s

@amandafortini Wow, that is a really well-done profile! (And I do have an Insider subscription, but it keeps kicking me out!) Thanks for posting.
