check out our section in AR6 Ch 1 - it was clear back then and has only further confirmed since (I did the regional analysis) www.ipcc.ch/report/ar6/w...

I'm trying to imagine their perspective - the entire field of climate science is corrupted, deluded or groupthink. None of it can be trusted. Only these five brave heroes can do what needs to be done. So no review or comments, lots of self citation etc. is all justified.
Pretty bold position really

Thanks @amosupdates.bsky.social I had big shoes to fill!

@bobkopp.net you may be interested that we both point to your commentary paper, I'd be interested in your feedback if you have any ☺️

Thanks for the interest Nada, the recording is now available at the original link above 😊Hope you're doing well

thanks to all who came along, great points made by Ben Newell on our perceptions and decision-making, and some good Q&A (although I know we only scratched the surface) - over 1300 attendees(!) reflecting the always strong interest in the topic and how we respond to it

I had a really good conversation with the journalist on this - covering humid heat vs dry heat, the limits to adaptation and all sorts of things, he is great and this is such an important issue

Big picture - we will stabilise the climate sooner of later, so we need to understand it - and have good definitions of 'stabilise' both globally and regionally (and appropriate alternative terms).

...all the details and the ‘facts’ supporting this desire can all change fluidly, inconsistencies and contradictions are all totally fine. Because it is about power and not reality – in fact it is about power over reality. It is so against our training as researchers, but very real I think

…a world where things are simple with a bad guy vs. a good guy with a simple plan, nothing is chaotic and there are no structural problems with complex causes like climate change, injustice – someone just needs to come in and make people shut up about these. If people shut up then it will be fine...

…but if you don’t mind spoilers, the last half goes much broader than flat earth, into Qanon etc. and in the last 10 min concluding some people deeply want ‘restorative authoritarianism’ - the wish for a strong man coming to come in, put things back ‘where they belong’…

This was in my World Book encyclopedia (1980 edition) growing up - an interesting time capsule of where we thought things were going

(sorry, Friday afternoon and I'm getting silly - great work on the interview, very clear and helpful!)
