Extreme weather will make a lot of places rethink their infrastructure and whether they should even move somewhere else.

There are models that predict as much as 4 C

Shhh… don’t tell anyone. At 4 degrees Antarctica becomes the refuge of humanity. There’s a reason Trump wanted to buy Greenland from Denmark.🇩🇰

Yes, I can finally die, hopefully the afterlife is a thing that... exists

Literally every projection made about today, 20 years ago, was false. I swear yall have zero pattern recognition.

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The projections made by the Club of Rome in 1972 in Limits to Growth are still valid. Should we wait until 2040 to see if the computer simulations were true?

I just hope im gonna be as excited to see this „civilization„ fall as I think I am. Humanity is just fucking disappointing.

You really want to live through a "Children Of Men" world? I'd rather be dead.

Shit, do I get to choose? Than hell fucking no. But I don’t, do I?

I hope I’ll have the balls to kill myself when all this shit collapses and our last breaths turn into wars.

And we'll do nothing about it because everybody is looking at corporations and their government but not at themselves to change.

You like your propaganda a lot, don’t you?

[-] nume@lemmy.vg 3 points 1 year ago

No, I just realize that corporations and governments are not motivated to do anything. I know that what I'm saying shifts the blame, but realistically it's the only way.

I'm in no way a climate change denier and I too believe that the current path leads us there. However, isn't it normal for 80% of climate scientist actively researching this to think this way? Would they not spend their efforts somewhere else if they would think this isn't happening?

A survey among mathematicians showed that 80% consider that mathematics has the answer they're looking for.

We need to discuss hard data and proper research, not surveys.

hard data and proper research

Maybe the answer you expect is not presented in this article?

Or at least the expectation you are presenting is something an exact science would produce?

[-] TokenBoomer@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

!collapse@lemmy.ml Is what you’re looking for.

[-] Infynis@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago

If they're not the ones to give us that data, who would? Polling experts in the field is different from asking fisherman if they think we should eat fish
