@martinvermeer @yokofakun I don’t see your claim in the link, but it sounds like you’re saying that the concentrations of CO₂ in the atmosphere and ocean are far out of equilibrium, and would rapidly approach equilibrium by CO₂ moving into the ocean. If that rate hasn’t been keeping up with emissions already I don’t see why it would catch up quickly. But I suppose the idea does illustrate that I’d have to say more to justify treating that reference as a floor

https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/01/the-oceans-just-keep-getting-hotter/@yokofakun this sort of thing is why I keep wanting an estimate of the equilibrium temperature with our current atmospheric composition - the floor of how bad it would get if we stopped greenhouse emissions today and don’t hit any tipping points, the minimum of how hot a world our descendants will live in

https://arstechnica.com/science/2026/01/the-oceans-just-keep-getting-hotter/@yokofakun The heat energy absorbed by the oceans in 2025 was “200 times the electrical use of everyone on the planet”. I hope we can find a way to harvest some of that energy to use or store or send into space, so we can slow down making things even worse

Movie genre(s): Action, Suspense@forst @bob_zim @lffontenelle looks to me like the light is coming from above, from multiple locations, like the common arrangement of ceiling lights; the only shadows are cast downward and narrowing.
The cat behavior is also entirely consistent with my expectations. I get being wary of the proliferation, but actually suspecting everything might be overdoing it
