Why the weather changed so quickly

In recent years, the effects of climate change have become increasingly pronounced, raising concerns about how fast weather patterns are changing.

One contributing factor to the recent acceleration of climate change is the elimination of sulfur from ocean shipping fuel. For years, the unintentional addition of sulfur into the atmosphere through shipping emissions mirrored the effects of volcanic eruptions and created trail clouds, which temporarily mitigated climate change by reflecting solar radiation away from the earth. However since removal, the true impact of climate change on atmospheric composition has been allowed to manifest more rapidly, leading to a rebound effect that is referred to as Termination Shock.

This means we are going to go through climate change in the next few years that we should have already over the last few decades.

So what do we need to do? We have to move even faster to make major changes:

1. Rapid Electrification: The adoption of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources plays a crucial role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Governments and industries should prioritize investments and incentives to accelerate electrification.

2. Expand Renewable Power Generation: Increased reliance on renewable energy, such as solar, wind, and hydroelectric power, is vital for reducing carbon emissions. Repeal or ammend laws that block the construction of renewables.

3. Nuclear Power: Traditional Fission Nuclear, as well as the rapidly approaching promise of Fusion energy, will be essential in completing the transition to low-carbon energy sources as rapidly as possible. This of course must be done with care, the Nuclear safety record of the US Navy shows a path for to how to do this well.

4. Carbon Sequestration: Implementing effective and energy efficient carbon capture and storage technologies will help us remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere. Both finding industrial uses for sequestered carbon plus carbon back underground will probably be required. This can also be done agriculturally through effective forest management and by raising crops such as opuntia, aka prickly pear cactus, to sequester carbon.

5. Geoengineering as a Stopgap Measure: While not a long-term solution, certain forms of geoengineering can buy us time in the overall fight against climate change. Strategies such as adding sulfur back to shipping and airplane fuels, flooding low-lying desert areas, painting all roofs white, and cloud seeding, among other potential solutions. The biggest risk here is as a temporary measure we again risk Termination Shock when they come to an end if the carbon is not removed for the atmosphere in the meantime.

6. Adaptation and Migration: Given the inevitable changes caused by climate change, we need to end the global apartheid of immigration restriction, and make it possible for people of every nation to relocate wherever they choose.

7. Resilient Infrastructure: Invest in resilient infrastructure and strengthen disaster response capabilities to withstand extreme weather events. Special priority should be given to develop solar-powered cooling centers in areas prone to power outages during wet-bulb heat events, so that people can safely escape the deadly combination of heat and humidity.

We have to move quickly and comprehensively to solve climate change from multiple angles, the action you should prioritize as an individual is in organizing and voting towards common goals, ultimately this is change that must be done at the in the houses of power at a government and global level.
