      And they will just call people who care “doomers”, and go on with their business as usual until we all burn.

      The lake, the sea: the tireless gloves…
      Where nature’s hand.
      Still holds her sceptre far above…
      Her bastard, man.
      The shore where centuries of sand…
      Through waves have raced.
      Invites a swim, but think where man…
      Deposits waste.

        All but one of the sources are from the same website. An internet search for the earth’s parasol finds lots of proposed projects.

        Does this Youtuber discuss real things? Do they have a good reputation?

          About me, to contextualize my opinion (skippable): I’d rate myself as a moderate to highly informed consumer of new media. I’m quite critical of channels and judge their factual value and practices, and I have a pretty good grasp on who I watch primarily for entertainment (Vaush, LTT,…) and who I watch primarily for information and meaningful analysis (Belle of the Ranch, Gamers Nexus,…). I try not to let my opinion be swayed by online sentiment either; e.g. I’ll heavily criticize channels for factual errors and what I can only call ‘journalistic negligence’ even when most people don’t seem to have an issue with them (e.g. Matt Ferrell’s Undecided)

          I’ve watched Just Have A Think for a few years now and his videos tend to be pretty solid and draw from a good variety of sources. He does an okay job of separating his opinions form the facts and not sounding too authoritative when he’s not quoting an authority. This is also helped by his style being informal and infotainment rather than news-like. The titles and thumbnails can be a little clickbaity at times but the substance is there. Many of his videos, including this one, just consist of him presenting and popularizing* (edit auto incorrect) papers or reports from reputable or authoritative sources.

          Overall, I’d say it’s a channel worth listening to.

          I’ve been following them for a while. They have a solid reputation from what I know, and I think they do a good job of explaining recent climate studies in layman’s terms.

      I haven’t watched this yet, but I’m familiar with his channel. He typically pulls in info from a few different sources (often studies, which he does cite) and talks about them. Pretty worthwhile.

      https://actuaries.org.uk/media/isvotyer/parasol-lost.pdf

      The first link in the description appears to be what the “parasol” in the title comes from.

      It seems to be a partially AI-generated report by the University of Exeter, with the cover image being the most obvious marker. The “parasol” in the title doesn’t seem to represent anything specific, so maybe that was AI-generated too, or maybe it was artisan hand-crafted clickbait.
