If I could put in one of those Under Construction GIFs that you would see on a website in the 1990s here, I would. There’s a new standard, folks.Ī technical note - We know our consecutive open counter is broken and we’re trying to fix it. This brings us to Glasgow, Scotland, and our lead story for today.īefore we get going - A huge thank-you to Claire Cameron, the managing editor at Inverse, for doing an incredible job filling in for me while I was away. We’re talking extreme heat domes, persistent flooding, vegetation die-off, severe air contamination, mass animal extinctions, the erosion of entire ecosystems, all of it.Ĭrack open the 2016 banger “ Differential climate impacts for policy-relevant limits to global warming: the case of 1.5 ◦C and 2 ◦C” in the journal Earth System Dynamics for explicit statistical calculations on some real-life doomsday chum, like lower agricultural yields and the rapid death of coral reefs. Did the temp change? Didn’t feel it.īut if the global average air temperature goes up by that amount - let’s call it 1.5° Celsius (2.7☏ahrenheit) - it’s essentially the beginning of a movie like Mad Max.

Then the Smokers kidnap Enola, turning the Mariner into a one-man killing machine desperate to rescue his human map. But as the trio struggles to decipher the map, they must also try to escape a band of filthy, reckless thugs known as "Smokers", led by the maniacal, one-eyed Deacon. But his loner existence changes when a woman named Helen and an orphaned girl named Enola save his life, and the Mariner reluctantly agrees to take them along with him.Īt first the Mariner has a rocky relationship with his two passengers then he realizes that the tattoo on Enola's back is a map leading to the never-seen "Dryland". Roaming the high seas is the Mariner, a surly, selfish man/fish mutant with no name. In this desperate society one must distill one's own urine for drinking water, and land is only a myth people dream of.
The future has arrived, and it brings a world composed entirely of water, due to the melting of the polar ice caps.
