Glaciers are reaching tipping points as well. Insane heat waves at both poles. It's over guys. Most poeple don't realize it yet but it's over. Those glaciers and poles took an entire iceage to form, and they are not going to come back.
And yet people are having kids...
Fucking baffles me.
Nothing baffling about it. It's just two (or more) people having consensual fun.
Or so I've been told...
The entire point of trying to save the climate and environment is to keep the world a nice place for our kids.
In that case, that ship has long sailed.
It can always get worse. There is no rock bottom.
Eh I'd say the last human going in the dirt is probably rock bottom.
We can easily stop having children then
No way man I only use paper straws
I hated that goddamn news cycle. Conservatives poisoned the well so much that you couldn't argue against that dumb, pointless policy without being labeled a Heritage Foundation shill.
I haven't seen anything from climate scientists that agrees with that level of doomerisim. They want to keep fighting against every 0.1C of warming we can, because that's a worthwhile fight. Succumbing to climate nihilism is unhelpful, unscientific, and a self-fulfilling prophecy.
With the release of this much methane this fast, we might as well be out of equation at this piont. And by this fast, I mean on a earth's climate timescale, not a human one. How could we possibly stop what is already snowballing? We HAD our chance to stop this and we did nothing. It is too late now to do anything but survive the new world we have made.
What climate scientist agrees that we should give up because of unleashing permafrost methane?
