PORTLAND, Ore. - Researchers at Oregon State University are sounding the alarm in a new report on climate change.
The year 2024 was the hottest on record, or at least in the last 124,000 years, according to a new report from an OSU-led international coalition of scientists.
“Without effective strategies, we will rapidly encounter escalating risks that threaten to overwhelm systems of peace, governance, and public and ecosystem health,” said co-lead author William Ripple, a professor of ecology at Oregon State University.
“In short, we’ll be on the fast track to climate-driven chaos, a dangerous trajectory for humanity,” he said.
Despite the many alarming findings, researchers say there’s still hope. They argue that social tipping points can trigger accelerated climate action, which is possible if those concerned can organize and practice sustained civic engagement.
“What’s urgently needed are effective climate mitigation and adaptation strategies, including ones that embed climate resilience into national defense and foreign policy frameworks,” Ripple said. “We also need grassroots movements advocating for a socially just phaseout of fossil fuels and limits on the fossil fuels industry’s financial and political influence.”
The authors write that reaching such a tipping point will require courage, connection and collective resolve.

WHEW! For a second there I thought it was Oklahoma State! Say it ain’t so, Cowboy!! 😆
Morons.
That is a lot of leftist jargon for one article.
It is wackadoodle crazy stuff—wild speculation.
Darn it! We're all too rich for our own climate good!! /sarc (sarc tag needed for LSU fans who cheered Coach O's firing 2 years after LSU won the natty)

Well played sir!
We should have known it would be those wacky Left Coasters, not good solid sane Middle ‘Muricans.

^^^^^^^^^ YES. THIS. ^^^^^^^^^
The only climate related chaos being driven is the chaos being driven by Leftist looney political chaos.
CO2 is a “fertilizer”, non-GMO, organic and gluten-free.
“The year 2024 was the hottest on record, or at least in the last 124,000 years”
How can they say this with any certainty?
Cool them off with water cannons.
You mean like the nightly chaos that goes on in downtown Portland?
>> How can they say this with any certainty?
Because they’re SCIENTISTS, and we must trust them! Now shut up and write them a check, and make it a BIG one!
ClImate NUT Driven Chaos.
