Key takeaways: Earth's albedo (reflectivity) has declined over the past 25 years, according to precise satellite data. This decline is primarily attributed to reduced reflection of sunlight by clouds. While reduced human-made aerosols contribute to some cloud change, most of it is due to cloud feedback related to global warming. The observed albedo change indicates that clouds provide a large, amplifying climate feedback. This large cloud feedback supports the conclusion of high climate sensitivity.Hansen's full article can be downloaded on collapse2050 post page<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Climate" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Climate</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChange</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChaos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateChaos</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Collapse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JamesHansen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#JamesHansen</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Clouds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Clouds</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Albedo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Albedo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrashCourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrashCourse</a>

Climate is a tyrant wannabe, following the same plan as a dictator wannabe the current US President, or like Hitler and others before him:First attack the most vulnerable and hope most people shrug it off as not relevant to them. Then ratchet it up a bit more.It comes for is all .. or in this case for all of our food. Do not treat this story as a one-off anomaly. Just like stories about polar bears are not about just polar bears.These are the metaphorical canaries in our coal mine of a planet.

Kent Pitman<a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/@screwtape" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@screwtape</a> I am conflicted about the issue of a historical record. We are all finite, and I will eventually not be here, so I try to get things into the record to survive me. But does that matter if we don't solve climate? Will there be any people left for whom a historical record is needed? Or will humanity go extinct and make all the effort of anyone creating historical records a waste of time. It's for this reason that I'm glad you take part of your show to talk about Climate, even though it may seem a distraction. I have a very real concern that my eventual death will not be very much separated from the rest of you who think me probably so much older than you.

Guido StevensI know people who regard the American shit show as merely a distant spectacle, unlikely to directly affect our lives here in Europe. They're wrong on many fronts (economics, security, media) but this one is especially scary: killing off vaccinations when we just had a frigging zoonotic pandemic, and the next one is already banging at the door in the shape of H5N1.There's a saying, that climate change manifests as a series of phone filmed disasters, until it's your phone doing the filming. In this case the scenario is that of distant peoply dying because of disastrous policies, until it's you and your loved ones doing the dying.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#publichealth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/murica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#murica</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/01/rfk-mmr-vaccines-fetus-claim?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/01/rfk-mmr-vaccines-fetus-claim?CMP=Share_AndroidApp_Other</a>

Kent PitmanI saw these signs in my yard today. I don't know why we didn't take them in. But it felt like a metaphor for democracy itself. So I wrote the haiku, trying to capture how disorienting it is to try to look back at that time, which isn't that long ago in days, but seems a lifetime away in traumas.A haiku often captures a seasonal element or a change of seasons, and a senryu a human issue, sometimes comedic. If there is anything comedic here, it is tragicomedy. But certainly we are in a new season, where only Climate Change itself can be an apt metaphor for a too-hot political summer to come, one for which spring has given us only the barest hints of how bad it could be.We need to start tending our gardens better. There are limits to what we can withstand in the climate, and the political climate. These are not just words.My mind goes once again to a favorite quote from the excellent Asimov & Silverberg novel Nightfall (not the short story), when, after a complete disruption of society due to a global cataclysm, a psychologist named Sheerin who'd predicted social chaos reflects on his earlier predictions and how he feels about the way they played out:«"It's one thing to predict it. It's something else to be right in the middle of it. It's a very humbling thing, … for an academic like me to find his abstract theories turning into concrete reality. I was so glib, so blithely unconcerned. 'Tomorrow there won't be a city standing unharmed in all [the world]' I said, and it was all just so many words to me, really, just a philosophical exercise, completely abstract. 'The end of the world you used to live in.' Yes. Yes." Sheerin shivered. "And it all happened, just like I said. But I suppose I didn't really believe my own dire predictions, until everything came crashing down around me.»<a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/USPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPolitics</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writing</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/predictions" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#predictions</a> <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/denial" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#denial</a>

Otis Scops aka Crash CourseI guess this gives (again) a nice example how a various effects of a collapse could work out.Electricity gone also means: * no way to fill up your car * in some places water supply stopped (pumps!) * no way to contact a doctor, fire fighter or other emergency service * food spoils because freezers thaw * huge congestion because problems with all type of traffic. * ATM don't work * mobile phones can't be used and only last as long as their batteries * many shops can't sell, because their cash registers don't work. * etc. etc.In short mayhem all over the place.Luckily I'm on a small solar system and amazingly most of the day internet worked. Only an outage from 14:30 to around 18:00 Unfortunately my website is down, although the (solar powered) server didn't give a budge.BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — A blackout brought much of Spain and Portugal to a standstill Monday, halting subway and railway trains, cutting phone service and shutting down traffic lights and ATMs for millions of people across the Iberian Peninsula.Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said that a problem in the European grid that he described as a “strong oscillation” was behind the outage, but that the cause was still being determined. The Spanish leader asked the public to refrain from speculation and said no theory about the cause of the outage had been discarded.Spanish power distributor Red Eléctrica said that restoring power fully to the country and neighboring Portugal could take 6-10 hours. By mid-afternoon, voltage was progressively being restored in the north, south and west of the peninsula, the company said. The company declined to speculate on the causes of the huge blackout.Sánchez thanked the governments of France and Morocco, where energy was being pulled from to restore power to north and southern Spain.The Portuguese National Cybersecurity Center issued a statement saying there was no sign the outage was due to a cyberattack.<a href="https://apnews.com/article/spain-portugal-power-outage-electricity-b0c5fbca49b8422248c4f933e20303b3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apnews.com/article/spain-portugal-power-outage-electricity-b0c5fbca49b8422248c4f933e20303b3</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackOut" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackOut</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IberianPeninsula" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IberianPeninsula</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Power</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/outage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#outage</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/electricity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#electricity</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Energy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Energy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/collapse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#collapse</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CrashCourse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CrashCourse</a>
