Do you have a source for that? Or is that vibe based reasoning?

    They're saying this is normal now, the system is much higher energy and more chaotic, with bigger differentials to equalize. That means everything is far less predictable. That doesn't sound so bad if youre a city-mouse who's only worked fake-ass PMC email jobs, but if you've ever worked with logistics or agriculture you need a shower and a change of pants about now.

    It means notable named states like 'drought' and 'famine' and 'hurricane' and 'monsoon', even totally new disasters we hadn't seen before industrializing like rivers of fire sharknadoes and zombie-fire are going to be as normal to us in old age as rain and tornadoes were to our grandparents.

    We're probably losing more atmosphere to convection, too, but I say that based on absolutely nothing.

    In simpler terms: first Europe turned into a literal god damn oven, at a temperature I can set my oven to. But I didn't stop burning coal because it snowed here in the southern hemisphere.

    losing more atmosphere to convection? i don't think that's how that works

    I vaguely remember some slips away over time, and is generally ~replaced by space bullshit that burns off in the atmosphere. We are on a rock swishing around in mostly-vacuum.

    i looked it up properly and according to https://faculty.washington.edu/dcatling/Catling2009_SciAm.pdf we basically only lose hydrogen and helium, and we do so very very slowly (3kg/s for hydrogen, 50g/s for helium).
