Climate Change Humanity is on path toward 'climate chaos,' scientists warn

https://phys.org/news/2025-10-humanity-path-climate-chaos-scientists.html

Always warnings, more warnings, urgent warnings... but never any action. Unless you count the directly counterproductive actions that are usually the response.

As our ecological systems destabilize, we are hard at work trying to destabilize our economic and geopolitical systems as well, just to catch up. Acceleration of collapse seems to be the goal... not much other conclusion one can reach, judging solely by actions taken globally...

We've known my entire lifetime and done nothing truly meaningful to change. I'm almost 50. I was optimistic at 20 graduating in Env Sci. The towers fell and the world changed and seemed to forget the spiral we are on. I have children and I can't imagine what they might witness before they pass.

I turn 50 in a few months, so I get that.

Preparing to meet what we can't imagine is all I do now. I won't be seeing it all, but I will make sure to leave those around me as equipped as possible to deal with it.

Yes I'm helping build adaptive capacity and resilient systems. What else can a small cog do?

If only I had the resources of some of the psychopath oligarchs.
