Experts see high chance of ‘global catastrophe’ within 10 years

Paco....as I read your 'critiqued' John Clauser comments, I could not help but wonder what sources you used to make your comments and assumptions (e.g. "his claims have been widely criticized", "Clauser's arguments often rely on misinterpretations of scientific data...", etc.) I don't doubt that you read this information, and I may agree or disagree...but please provide the source(s) used. As I would like to read more on this topic.

I apologize for not providing sources in my previous response about John Clauser's comments on climate change. You're absolutely right, it's crucial to cite references for claims and information, especially when discussing a complex and contested topic like this.
Here are some of the sources I used to inform my response:
Criticism of Clauser's claims:
Clauser's statements:
  • Interviews and speeches: Clauser has made his views on climate change known through interviews and speeches, some of which are readily available online. You can find links to some of these interviews in the articles cited above.
It's important to note that these are just a few examples, and there are many other resources available on this topic. I encourage you to do your own research and explore different perspectives to form your own informed opinion. When researching, it's crucial to consider the source of information, their track record and expertise, and any potential biases they may have.

You're right Paco Dennis, there's a wealth of information available and good guidelines on choosing what to believe. And so much of that information serves to high how wonderfully balanced this global system is. I've sure learned an even deeper respect and reverence for our planet as a result of all my reading and video viewing.

On Netflix I've been watching a series called Life On Our Planet and it's really something to see how fragile each era has been and what a miracle it was that each of them began in the first place. The 'fragility' is seen when something that no one could ever have control over (like an asteroid which could conceivably happen again), wiped out a global thread of life in a blink of an eye.

I've always marvelled at the reluctance of people in general, who when warned about a 'potential' world altering crisis coming, decide it's not worth looking into for even a moment. Like my son-in-law who will spend hours researching which coffee system he's going to buy and doesn't bother looking up anything about the world his new little son will be old in🤨.
 
Thank you. I believe I found it. It was posted by Just Have A Think and is 13:33 long, right? Related videos also come up. I watched some of it but it was a bit late in my day and my brain couldn't process all of that information. Plus I get bored pretty easily (due to ADD) if it's not a subject I'm very interested in. I do want to get back to it though and check out at least a couple of others on the subject.
Some videos are easier to watch a little bit at a time aren't they? Especially if you're tired. You should see the line of tabs that I have waiting for me to get back to them, on my laptop. My husband is always harping on how it's my fault that my computer is running slower because I have so many tabs open 🙂.

So true. I used to argue with my late stepfather over the dangers to the environment. (We didn't use the phrases "climate change" or "global warming" back then.) And he always used to say, "Oh, will you stop your worrying! This old planet is a tough old rock, nothing can hurt it! Stop worrying!" Welp, the planet does contain some rock but that fragile, thin layer (I think it's called the troposphere?) that supports us and most other life is so delicate. Sure, the rocky parts of the earth can survive a lot but not the troposphere.

Same experience here! My mom and I used to be at loggerheads about it and it would always end with some kind of accusation like 'there's no talking to you tree huggers' or 'environmentalists are impossible to talk to' and we finally crossed the topic off the list of acceptable things to talk about. I wonder now, what she's thinking every time she sees another news piece about climate change and this weather crisis and that weather event that is causing havoc. How often does she remember those tense and short discussions we used to have?

It is pretty amazing and frankly, quite miraculous, this planet we live on isn't it? What an amazing world!
