Vast implications of Figure SPM.5 in the #IPCC AR6 summary
A "wise" immediate change of emission patterns (to minimise risk) has become so drastic now that one might wonder if we'll be ever able to achieve it before some #TippingPoint becomes irreversible
Tipping points mean there is #DeepUncertainty: which adds to the urgency of decisions in a policy landscape of disputed values and huge stakes (#PostNormalScience): we may be forced to navigate within effects of unpredictable magnitude

"Knowledge of the full #timeline casts a very different light, in particular on the difficulties currently encountered in the practice of #MES; far from being the expected growing pains of a young discipline, these difficulties turn out to be long-standing problems that have eluded solution over the last half-century and appear intrinsically unresolvable."

#PostNormalScience perspectives "point to #COVID19 as a classic post normal case [...] never as with the present pandemics have numbers, and [...] measuring and modelling, taken centre-stage. Yet these numbers, often delivered by academics and media alike with extraordinary precision, rely on a rich repertoire of assumptions, including forms of #bias, that can significantly skew both the numbers per se and the trust we repose in them" [1]

For fans of #PostNormalScience, @SFuntowicz is trying out a home on SDF, https://sdf.org/?tutorials/social_network .
> To the users of the SDF Public Access UNIX System, 'SDF Social' is based on the concepts and principles of the early Social Networks that we have always been a part of and not the highly commercialized, for-profit and ethically questionable Social Networks of the late 1990s and 2000s.
> Simply put, SDF has always been about Collaboration, Non-Commercialism, Choice and Privacy.
Interesting choice for a proponent of #PhilosophyOfScience !
