It’s not going to get any better for anyone reading this. Have a nice weekend!
Not if we are just preparing for nuclear winter.
I’m so torn on whether to upvote this.
in 1995, so they wrote it in 1994I think that was more a jab at the overall terrible state of the American public education system, but your point stands regardless.
BC is the new California. California is the new hell.
Hey now we could have a nuclear winter, don’t rule out a meteor strike either
We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!
I too have seen Snowpiercer.
Such a shame we have to keep increasing emissions, or maybe this coukd have helped.
Supervolcano is also an option!
Hey don’t forget flood basalts from all the shifting mass as ice melts. Those are real benders in both climactic directions depending on the composition. We have no idea how those actually start and the timelines involved, just theories and speculation.
Technically, we could all collectively decide we have had enough. We won’t, but we could.
I’m not even sure that’s enough. Some tipping points are already reached and the CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere won’t magically disappear because we don’t add more.
Keep that in mind when you hear that the emission is still rising exponential
Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we’ll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of “carbon capture” that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the “pork barrel spending”.
I suggest making sure you have an “exit plan” for when it get worse than you’d like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won’t mention them explicitly.
Even if we replaced all energy production “magically” with solar/wind/tidal, we’ll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!
If you’re going to take an “exit plan” there are a lotnof revolutionary ways to go about it
Yeah but most climate scientists say every little bit helps, so if we could just do a lot of bits maybe we won’t all have to die.
So, every little bit might help, if we are not already dead.
But if we aren’t willing to end capitalism and exterminate the scum who did this, and can not will not stop, nothing matters for shit.
Like putting a hand aid on a bisection wound with intestines leaking out.
People’s initiative? We have the tools. Let’s start.
True, I didn’t want to sound as a doomer. Every little bit helps in the sense of harm reduction. This isn’t black or white. Actually white is long over. It’s dark gray or black and I’m willing to fight for dark gray.

What about winter? Checkmate libz
Nope, we are in summer here, I guarantee it will be colder in the winter
Sir, this is a shitpost
No sir, that is clearly a comment, sir
Thanks for clarifizifizilication
Not saying global warming isn’t real but the earth is still coming out of the last ice age. So even if humans didn’t exist, every year would still be the warmest until the earth goes back into an ice age.
The Earth was likely headed back towards another ice age before anthropogenic climate change took hold. So no, every year would not have been the “warmest” if humans didn’t exist.
On average. 1.5 degrees hotter, every square inch of earth, every second of the day. But some areas will become cooler than we knew them up to now, when ocean currents break down.
I’ve lived before this when it was cooler, and that’s still part of my lifetime.
Span maybe, that’s a more future looking term.
So when do we unlock Mad Max biome?
It took my whole life, but I’m finally the coolest fucking person ever.
Turn the goddamn AC on, Jerry!
Lol. “Children”
Not having children is great for the environment.
Judging by how much they scream on the topic, it’s great at fighting capitalists as well! Though to be fair, screaming kids are great at fighting those as well…
