I wasn’t worried about climate change. Now I am.
Recommendation
What if the models most climate scientists are using to make predictions are wrong and global temperatures are actually rising much more quickly than expected? Physicist Sabine Hossenfelder explains why confusion about one metric, climate sensitivity, is creating two dueling timelines regarding climate change. Humanity would be wise to consider the possibility, warns Hossenfelder, that there’s less time to offset the impacts of climate change than previously imagined, and to respond accordingly.
