The Great Climate Leap: A Climate Surprise Is Like a Heart Attack

William H. Calvin

0/5 ( ratings)

The world’s climate has become unstable from global warming. Since 1976, there have been six abrupt climate shifts, global in extent, and at least six near misses.
That 12-years-in-36 track record, not computer forecasts, is why we now need a CO2 cleanup that is big and quick.
Climate surprises are like heart attacks. They occur with little warning. In severity, they range unpredictably from minor to catastrophic—say, failing ecosystems and a human population crash from war, famine, pestilence, and genocide.
Compared to the climate creep from global warming, climate leaps are both sudden and sooner. So our primary concern is no longer about our grandchildren’s world, or even our children’s. It's about our future—including that of today's seniors.
