Climate change triggers a 'doom loop' when the effects of the crisis become so devastating that they overwhelm humanity's capacity to address its root cause.

since the start of the Industrial Revolution, driving up global temperatures by more than a degree Celsius . Within the next decade, global average temperatures could reach 1.5 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels — a threshold scientists say is critical to avoid irreversible changes.It is still technically possible, and even economically viable, for nations to curb carbon pollution on the scale that’s required, according to the United Nations-assembled panel of 278 top climate experts.

By the year 2100, extreme heat events will make parts of Asia and Africa uninhabitable for up to 600 million people,“This doom dynamic could manifest itself in things like a more nativist politics,” Laybourn said. In “a more ecologically destabilized world, it’s more conflicted, with more people on the move.”

This isn’t new. It’s what they have been warning about forever.

'Climate doom loop' is an undefined but scary-sounding term. That makes it ideal for climate doomsday grifting, huh? ClimateScam

WAPO is full scale scare tactics

Holy Shit Batman not the “doom loop”

Class actions are needed against corporations committing climate vandalism, just as there were such actions against asbestos and pesticide manufacturers.

FYI- The earth has been dealing with crisis's for millions of years...

Of course the crisis would be harder to solve since you suck up to big corporations. It shouldn’t be this way.

First fix the infrastructure in the country, and after the rest!

Does not stop Exxon Shell BP etc. They do not care and have no interest in the future of their own children.

America MAGA is rushing to come to your rescue. We will get rid of the climate hoax, get rid of woke b.s. We will make every American proud again. We will make America rich again. We will make the world love America again. We will end the Ukraine war.

How's that small government, deregulation thing working out for you? ☢️☠️

Omg stop this is sooo funny. More Y2K nonsense.

You could eliminate all carbon producing items, and the temp will continue increasing at its extremely slow rate. It's a natural cycle, but fools believe it's something they need the government to fix.

CLOSE ALL COAL AND OIL ENERGY PLANTS! OPEN NEW NUCLEAR POWER PLANTS IN ALL STATES! REOPEN YUCCA MOUNTAIN MOVE TF ON.

The alone solution is going toward of using renewable energies. the world should beware seriously.

More bullshit climate alarmism. Only the easily manipulated believe this crap.

Imagine falling for the climate change trash hahahaha
