A weird title.

The content of the paper is summed up as “everyone felt like the climate changed after 2015, the data up to 2023 was inconclusive; we finally have enough to prove it with 95% confidence.”

EDIT: The title is weird because it’s generic to the point of being unsearchable. I’m not disputing the facts of the paper.

As an observation, global warming has completely disappeared as social concern in the last few years. Great that someone is still publishing research, but it seems like being a climate scientist has gone from hottest field to nobody cares.

Are you based in the US? Seeing how the current regime is doing its best to gut climate protections I get how it could seem that way, but it’s definitely not the case in e.g. Europe where energy from renewables continues to grow.

Nothing like fascism and war to take your mind off the environment.

The problem is, no amount of climate policies in the West is going to offset burning fuel in the developing counties. It’s a global phenomenon and addressing it locally is futile. That, and you don’t have the luxury of green solutions when energy prices were going through the roof.

Basically the oceans are way way way too hot which is melting even the most ancient ice and that can never be undone in our lifetimes (well maybe from a nuclear winter) USA is about to have another El Nino summer which will be scorching from overheating oceans But don't worry, USA is solving the problem by Biden banning cheap electric cars and Trump ending electric subsidies entirely, forcing coal plants to restart

Thankfully none of the serious solutions are nation-specific. Also they do not emit "orders of magnitude more"

Today: this Tomorrow: trillions invested in new technology for simulating human torture accurately at the molecular level, requiring twice the level of all consumer electricity use on the planet. Advocates claim "all use is valid".

Arguments against call it immoral, while counter-arguments call it "legitimate".

Meanwhile, three-time Billionaire claims he's solved the problem using soylent green while fifty thousand people react in awe at the live presentation.

> India and China burn orders of magnitude more

They don't, according to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_carbon_di...

> and they aren't going to slow down.

China already did, according to https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/nov/11/china-co2-emis...

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Nothing like fascism and war to take your mind off the environment.

Because of how policies are grouped together in many countries (particularly the US), the fight against fascism is necessarily concurrent with the fight against climate change.
