climate scientists have already lit themselves on fire trying to warn people and it didn’t actually do anything
people are too religious to believe in science
I think it is fair to wait exactly 2 more years to see if temperatures normalize following consecutive weird el niño / la niña cycles, but then yeah let's hit the emergency trigger
Standart deviation of anomaly? Hmm... How is the anomaly defined?
It appears to be in terms of number of std devs away from the mean temperature from 1991 to 2020
Sorry but fuck you doomerist cunts. No, we are not gonna have an easy time AT ALL. But giving up plays right into hands of corporations and governments destroying our planet. Every single improvement we are able to push through will limit suffering.
If we do nothing and completely give up, we will never know what suffering we could have prevented. I know it is not easy and things are not looking good. If we had not fought for some of the improvements we were able to push through, things would have been even worse than they are right now. Every. Single. Thing. Helps.
Don't even let these evil fucking cunts win no matter how hard they kick and scream and destroy stuff.
Nah, I call bullshit. You can try every little thing you want. In the end in won't matter. We are fucked and you just can't accept it. We either massively change things now or our efforts won't matter. People already complain about small changes and what we need means a massive lifestyle change for billions. It ain't happening. Get your head out of your own ass please.
What if we, and I realize this is heretical to day: try big things and promote lifestyle changes in advance being coerced towards worse ones
How about you go fuck yourself and jerk off to doomer porn?
In world war 2, did people think "ah fuck defeating the nazis. They already killed millions of people. We should just five up"?
If your kitchen is on fire, do you just say fuck it? And let the rest of the house burn too?
What is it with you cunts giving up on every single setback?
You sound like you would let yourself drown because "oh fuck it my pants are already wet.".
Get YOUR head out of the asses of the people destroying the planet. You're literally on their side with the constant calls for giving up.
Fuck. You.
Okay, so what do I do?
Vote? Been doing that. Doesn't seem to be helping.
Recycle? Okay, let's have two trucks pick up garbage every week.
Eat less meat? Been doing that. But I'm a drop in the ocean.
Drive less? Been doing that. But it's made completely inconsequential because of private jet owners.
Short of killing large numbers of people in the first world we won't be able to even slow it down.
So what do I do that can actually have an impact?
We are doomed.
I don't believe anymore that we can turn it around. We and our children will drown in floods, starve in drought and burn in unbearable heat. Most of the world will become uninhabitable. And the rest will be fighting to the death for basic resources. We will see it faster than we think.
Im sure GenZ will live this nightmare and very probably Millenials too.
That'll be the fate of a lot of the world, especially heat in India, flooding in SE Asia, etc. But if you're in Michigan, near a bunch of bodies of fresh water, you'll probably be fine for a very long time.
Reading this in Rick rapping voice
I mean, I get the desperation. But drop everything and…do what?
Calling for a massive strike is one thing. But just “drop everything” with no follow up is a weird reaction. It sounds way too much like, “drop everything and panic.” Not “sacrifice everything to try to save what we can of the livable world.”
either travel until your last penny or buy a house in a very very remote location and stockpile enough food for a year or two. Continuing your life as usual and recycling your tin cans is the definition of insanity.
Drop everything and enjoy life while it lasts.
It may be shorter than you were planning on.
Well, if everybody dropped everything then emissions would go to 0 soooo nothing I guess
I wanted to rewatch the Frasier seasons. Hope I have time.
You have time, but watching it still counts as part of "everything" so you are going to have to drop it.
You'll have time, but not fossil fuel electricity for your TV. \s
Well earned.
When did this place turn into r/collapse on Reddit?
June already bringing on intense heat waves in California and Mexico are probably driving the doomerism on the west coast.
Houston also got a nasty Derecho a few weeks back that wrecked downtown and shredded half the trees in my neighborhood.
I expect the next big hurricane is going to bring another wave of doomerism, as we all get another big dose of "Find Out", while our Boomer elders continue to Fuck Around
Every single thing we are fighting for and does get through has prevented stuff from being even worse than they are now. Don't ever give up.
What gets through? I simply don't see it. Fossil fuel drilling in the US has hit an all-time high. Domestic car sizes are only getting bigger and we're taxing or banning any small, cheap foreign EV imports. For every pipeline that gets stalled, three more are built. We don't even bother reporting on spills anymore, despite their increasing frequency. We are epically fucked and we all know it.
Don’t ever give up.
Give up doing what? This isn't Peter Pan. You can't bring us under 1.5C by clapping.
Yeah 1.5 is fucked. But we can still limit it under 2.0 or 2.5. Yes it is fucking horrific. But 1.5 does not mean everyone suddenly drops dead.
Also, the world isnt the US. Improvements are happening on a smaller scale. Some countries getting almost all energy through solar and wind.
Green energy becoming cheaper than fossil fuel.
Is it enough? Fuck no. But im not letting you cunts hop in with corporations and push the pedal to the metal.
Stop ignoring all the positive things happening to fix the climate. You are putting other people off helping with your doomer shit.
Every day, the daily rate of CO2 output beats the previous day. We haven't even remotely slowed down.
"the end is nigh" but yeah insurance companies will probably be the first pillar of capitalism to fail. Unfortunately unless the publics views of migrants change, the public will continue to elect people who promise to abuse migrants.
There's a real risk entire forests will fail. And obviously agriculture
You think affluent capitalists care? Lol, they're probably trying to figure out how to make money out of this.
Going to make so much money selling bottled water after the next big hurricane.
