Breaking Down: Collapse
Apprehensive about the future? Like many, you likely have a gut feeling that things aren't quite right, but haven’t been able to place your finger on why. That feeling only grows with the increasing political tensions, economic uncertainty, natural disasters, and supply chain disruptions. What do all these challenges mean? And what will be the result of society’s current trajectory? “Breaking Down: Collapse” takes the complex concepts surrounding the ultimate collapse of modern industrial society and simplifies them so they’re easier to learn. The compelling evidence for our inevitable decline is introduced by collapse-aware Kory to his good friend, Kellan, who probably doesn’t realize what he signed up for! Skeptical? Gear up for a paradigm shift! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

One of the things I fear most about collapse is that there's so much we don't understand, and that inevitably means there will be consequences we can't predict. Today I go through a couple of recent findings that weren't necessarily expected by the scientific community, and therefore not accounted for in climate models.

Odds have risen sharply for a breach of the minimum power pool level as soon as July (worst case) and December (most probable) of this year. On top of that, it's been revealed that structural limitations to the dam itself might mean that MPP is the lowest level at which any water can be reliably delivered downstream.
New research indicates that several tipping points may be officially crossed before we technically hit 1.5C. The paper also researched the impacts of duration above a benchmark vs highest temperature peak.
