A number of electric vehicle, battery factories are being canceled

I have been using RCP 8.5 for all of my long-term decision making (where to move and buy a house, how sustainably I plan to live).

Based off the downvotes I receive on here I think I'm too much of a collapsenik for the average HN poster, but one benefit of being neurotic is that by the time people finally start reckoning with the current state of collapse, I have already made peace with it. The downside is that I become miserable to talk to.

At that level of CO2, your brain is fucked even if you're otherwise ok.

I'm more ambivalent about CO2 than just about anybody, but I'd go to war over that concentration.

I say plan for the worst and hope for the best.

I think this is why the US is trying to annex greenland.

Although I'm fairly optimistic about carbon, I think we need pessemists to get any stuff like this done.

And we need a diverse set of baseline estimates — yours and worse, not just mine and better — so some of us survive whatever nonsense the next 75 years brings.

(I'm also a pessimist about many other things besides carbon).
