Remember all those end of world disaster movies over the past 20 years? ... We're at the middle part of the movie where everyone is denying the few mad scientists who are warning everyone. We also believe that there will be some sort of super hero last minute hail Mary save that will save us from the brink of destruction ... I don't think that will happen tho :(
Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics.
Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.
As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:
How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:
Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:
Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
last minute hail Mary save
Nuclear war and the subsequent nuclear winter would save us. You doomers just aren't willing to think outside the box.
Nuclear winter will definitely cool the planet, especially if hundreds of bombs are used ... but it will mean turning the planet into a snowball.
Nuclear winter will mean destroying most or all plant life for years or decades or even a century. Many people will die either from the bombing or the radiation but the majority will die slow deaths from starvation years after.
Sure there may be some wealthy important people that will hold out in bunkers and underground shelters but once their food supplies run out, they'll have to come out, and when they do, they won't find anything. The survivors will have to raise new generations with far less, even if they do survive living in an irradiated landscape which won't be safe for hundreds of years.
The planet will definitely be cooler .... but it won't be liveable for humans.
This isn't a race to save the planet by cooling it off, the planet's fine. It's dealt with disasters and changes far more destructive than us.
We need to do something about the climate to save ourselves and our species. Nuclear war places us in as much danger of extinction as doing nothing about climate change.
Did I seriously need to put a /s at the end of my comment?
