Global warming in North Pacific.
The Y axis is standard deviations (SD), related to chance of being observed given historical temperatures.
2 SD: 2.3 times in 100 years
3 SD: 1.3 in 1,000 years
4 SD: 3.2 in 100,000 years
5 SD: 2.9 in 10,000,000 years
6 SD: 1 in 1,000,000,000 years
Now is new.

Yet another emerging crisis.
Birth rates almost everywhere are now far below 2.1 children per woman (stable population).
As populations shrink, there is a disproportionate abundance of old people and too few young people to support them.

China’s fertility rate has fallen to one, continuing a long decline that began before and continued after the one-child policy—
The 1970s were a decade shaped by fears about overpopulation. As the world’s most populous country, China was never far from the debate.

greenhouse gas forcing in the last 15 years
is that the goal to keep global warming under 2°C
is now implausible.

“Survival of the fittest”
is often used to justify capitalist society, but this wasn’t a phrase that Darwin used.
He described it as “better designed for an immediate, local environment" and wrote of groups that survived through empathy and sharing rather than greed.

The corrupted CDC website refers to a Danish study (Andersson et al) and "a statistically significant 67% increased risk of Asperger's syndrome per 1 mg increase in aluminum exposure among children born between 2007 and 2018 (Supplement Figure 4)." It's worth putting this into context. Short 🧵
