  • Because you can very easily already calculate the increased cost of natural disasters; droughts, floods, severe storms with wind and hail damage, crop spoilage, etc that is occurring right now. The future disasters will be worse.

    As explained in the article they take the cost of current disasters and multiply the known effects of global warming to calculate what costs will be. They can only calculate what they know.

    The costs are probably more like 1000x anyway because there is no way to really apply an accounting system to a complete calamity that would happen if numerous very likely feedback loops happen, as they hint to in the article.












  • UN Security Council passes resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire 2 days ago By Raffi Berg,BBC News Watch: Moment UN passes Gaza ceasefire resolution

    The UN Security Council has called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, after the US did not veto the measure in a shift from its previous position. It also demanded the immediate and unconditional release of all hostages. It is the first time the council has called for a ceasefire since the war began in October after several failed attempts. The move by the US signals growing divergence between it and its ally Israel over Israel’s offensive in Gaza.

    Seems like action to me. Yeah a lot more needs to be done, but his words and actions are meeting.

    It’s by design. Almost all blankets have polyester or some synthetics. It’s basically like sleeping under plastic bottles. Excellent for heat retention. Absolutely shit for heat regulation.

    Pure cotton is better, but not as ideal as wool. Your life will change under a wool blanket. Wool blankets are insanely expensive, but you can find utility wool blankets for pretty cheap (very scratchy), you just have to sandwich them between some thin layers so you don’t feel the scratchiness. You can layer them multiple times and it is very difficult to have too many as they breathe very well.
