After we stopped dumping sulfur into the oceans the average temperature went up nearly an entire degree![1]

This will heavily affect the size of cyclones and other weather related disasters (not just heatwaves). 2024 might finally make people realize that the end is near once parts of the world in developed countries start to be slowly wiped off the map due to non stop natural disaster events.

Do you have a reference for that?

One thing that seems obvious, but hasn't been repeated enough IMHO is that injecting more energy (heat) into a chaotic system (climate), won't simply make the average energy (temperature) higher BUT will also proportionally strenghten the chaotic fluctuations (disasters).

I am being blocked from accessing the site, but it all comes from the graph I saw on this site: https://site.uit.no/nclos/2024/01/31/a-peculiar-interaction-....

Correct me if I'm wrong.

I was unable to access the url you shared either. Here's a cached copy of it I was able to find[1]

interesting you bring developed countries and not developing countries into the picture here first. Is it because such large scale disasters like the cyclones you mention tend to hit US more than any developing nations?

I ask because I hypothesize that the impact of these raising temperatures will be seen more widely and adversely in parts of developing countries given their population density and inability to address the same.

[kachapopopow]

Well the non developed countries have suffered from these for the better part of few decades and nobody cares. My reasoning is that this happening to a developed nation would be significantly more widespread as this requires global action.

Not to mention that non developed nations tend to have other issues they're trying to solve and climate change is not even on their list (except for very few).

This is hysterical.
