There will be some corals that survive, and some that migrate poleward or into deeper water. But yeah, large reef ecosystems are definitely screwed at +2°C, and probably even at +1.5°C (it’ll take some time though).

Mmm. I would guess that the difference between 5 degrees colder than now and 5 degrees hotter than now is quite different for human physiology. There will certainly be places some of us can still live, but lots of equatorial places will become uninhabitable

Use less fossil fuels. We have the technology to have electrified public transport, for instance. We just don’t have the political will or the financial backing. This is not really a problem that scientists are well equipt to solve.

They are trying, but… I was at a talk by a leading coral reef scientist last year, he said it would if it worked well, doing enough of it to maintain the Great Barrier Reef would cost on the order of ten trillion dollars a year…

What? When?
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 2 weeks ago:
We definitely still use the term climate change.

Climate scientist here: what is there to reconcile? Slowing and eventually stopping warming is definitely possible, even inevitable, the question is just when and how fast we can do it, and what the repercussions are. Every fraction of a degree warmer is worse, so we should be taking as much mitigation action as fast as we can. Mitigating earlier is better than adapting later.
- Comment on China's Share of EV Sales Around the World (2018-2025) 4 weeks ago:
Is it just me, or does this graph make zero sense?
Oh, is it saying how many EVs sold in each country were made in China? So, weirdly this is one of those graphs where the US might be doing the best (excluding China), in terms of local production? Except you don’t know where any of the non-chinese EVs were made…

Yes. Thank you for expanding my point.
- Comment on Invasion Day: police investigate ‘device’ thrown into Perth crowd as huge marches held across Australia 2 months ago:
No, the point is just that. “Anti-immigation” is being used here as a euphemism for “racist”

Neither of those things are related to immigration

Anti-immigration protesters clash with First Nations people
That’s either some exetremely ignorant anti-protestors, or some shitty journalism. I suspect the latter.

Why is hanging out for a long time bad, as long as you continue drinking?
- Comment on Huh? 2 months ago:
My personal conspiracy theory is that bars have bad acoustics so that you have to shout, so that you get a sore throat, so that you feel like you need to drink more.

Standing wave. Earth kind of has one in the jet stream (3 peaks and troughs though, usually), but you can’t see it with visible light.
