It’s not going to get any better for anyone reading this. Have a nice weekend!

Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes.

I think that was more a jab at the overall terrible state of the American public education system, but your point stands regardless.

Where do you think today’s problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.

Technically, we could all collectively decide we have had enough. We won’t, but we could.
lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
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
bss03@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
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!
Sanctus@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Yeah, but tgat would require hunting down and ending the bloodline of every singke billionaire and its flose social circle.
And killing is wrong. How dare you. We should literally all die slowly and horribly while we watch everything we love crumble to ruin

Nope, we are in summer here, I guarantee it will be colder in the winter

They said “our planet is currently the coolest”, not your local temperature.
stoy@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
They absolutely did, but they posted it in a shitpost community

I mean all seriousness aside, that photo is pretty fucking cool

Not if we are just preparing for nuclear winter.
shoo@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
What about winter? Checkmate libz
RockBottom@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
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.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No, I’ve lived before this when it was cooler than this, and that was part of my lifetime too.
So your sentence doesn’t make sense.

Lol. “Children”
untorquer@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Not having children is great for the environment. Judging by how much they scream on the topic, it’s great at fighting capitalism as well!
(But seriously, have kids if you want just don’t bother me about my decision not to)

I’m vegetarian, cycle when I can, use public transport, recycle everything, and donate money to nature charities.
You?

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.

So when do we unlock Mad Max biome?
LodeMike@lemmy.today 3 weeks ago
From now going into the future, yes. 10 years ago it was colder.

Hey now we could have a nuclear winter, don’t rule out a meteor strike either
passepartout@feddit.org 3 weeks ago
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!
outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Such a shame we have to keep increasing emissions, or maybe this coukd have helped.

Don’t forget the AMOC shutting down and sending most of Europe spiralling into the opposite problem as the rest of the world boils!

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.
