Why climate change in 2100 matters to me - The Globe and Mail

As this century draws to an end, my son and the other babies of today will be old men and women. Like today, they will be in a vulnerable phase of life, depending on the care and kindness of others, craving routine and consistency. Unfortunately for them, if we do not alter the path we are on, a climate catastrophe will be unfolding. The global average temperature will have increased between 4 and 6 degrees Celsius, crop yields will be falling all over the world, water availability will have declined significantly in many areas, and sea level rise will be threatening major cities. Intense storms, forest fires, droughts, flooding and heat waves will be occurring. There will be a high risk of sudden, dramatic and irreversible changes in the climate system. What will become of the elderly in this frightening new reality?

Mr. Worthing: Apocalypse 2

Large Negative Feedback At The Equinox | Real Science

The Sun is shining directly over the equator today, and Northern Hemisphere snow cover remains at record high levels of almost 2% above normal. The snow reflects sunlight back into space and cools the planet. Snow cover has been well above normal for the entire year.

The anomalies are found at latitudes of 30-40 N, which means that the Sun over the excess snow is 50-60 degrees above the horizon. This means that a lot of sunlight is being reflected back into space - producing a huge negative feedback.
