God damnit...
Nah, we damned ourselves.
The rich damned us.
And everyone is so afraid of revolution, so they continue to destroy our home. Hence the "we".
And corporations
If we're playing the blame game, let's play to win.
But we were made in his image so still his fault lol

Cheetah Cub died from our emissions
After overcoming the shock ( This article is more than 2 months old! ) /s
This is really bad and sad. The beautiful cheetahs may not be among us for long.
I don’t get why they weren’t monitoring the cheetahs before one died. Seems negligent AF to import an animal and then watch it die. They literally let one die before deciding to do anything. These cheetahs aren’t pure, wild animals if they are imported. WTF India, maybe treat people and animals with more respect. Instead they’re response is, “Oopsies, I guess it was too hot while we watched them die. ” Morons.
kinda my thoughts too
Like they probably didnt just drop over dead. Sure someone could've seen it coming. Panting, lethargy, etc are all signs...
I read the article and the authorities were watching the cubs for two days as they watched them die. They first took notice when one dropped dead, and they only intervened when the other three collapsed... 😢😢😢
One cub lived, though. If there's any solace in all of this, at least one goddamn cub lived.
Fucksake
Global warming denialists: died to nerve gas you say?
It was the Jewish Space Lasers!
Hope the heat goes up to 100°C. That's when fucking humans will learn.
Nah not the ones that caused this
Everyone is to be blamed. From us consumers who buy materialistic stuff to people who manufacture it. Everyone should be punished.
That's not true. We have on record oil and gas companies having studied and internal communication they know climate change is coming. Yacht, private jets, and cruises cause a majority of carbon emmissions. Billionaires are the ones who have yachts and jets and a billionaire owns cruise companies. Musk is the most prominent, but other car manufacturers have lobbied against the building of public transportation.
We know there is a disproportionate amount of pollution coming from companies. I think we all do need to play a part, but if you want actual meaningful and quick change it needs to come from these companies. You know, these companies that were ruled as "people". These companies like Amazon who have more money and power than small countries. It's on these "people" to lead us into clean emissions but they aren't.
Most poor people in the West have huge carbon footprints because what they can afford to buy is cheap and imported from countries like China and, if they can afford a car, it's not likely to be a hybrid or an electric. What else can they do? Should we expect the poor to live shittier lives when the people who are doing the vast majority of the damage are allowed to keep going?
for one people could just stop eating meat - or stop treating flying as a normal thing you do for holiday
the problem is that most people think others are to blame for one reason or anoher and don't see that literally everyone has to change...
this whole thing is just a huge prisoner's dilemma and noone will make the first move in fear of others not moving and exploiting that situation in the short term while ignoring that they are fucking over the planet in the long run...
Right, all of those poor people who take airplanes on their vacations...
What the fuck are you talking about?
You need to differentiate between poor in a wealthy country vs. globally poor. I know plenty of "poor" people in the US who can still scrape together enough cash for a plane ticket to go on vacation, but they're still in tons of debt with zero savings.
You have to be able to afford to spend thousands to go to any major tourist destination far from you in the U.S. or Europe when you factor in the cost of air travel, hotel cost and food, not to mention any attractions you might want to see while there.
If you can afford to "scrape together" enough to do that, you are not poor. It really sounds like your privilege is showing.
Plane Tickets for a city trip between European capitals are like 20-50€
Tickets to the most popular holiday destinations are regularly possible to get for less than 100€
Sure it's not for the poorest 20-30% but I was mostly talking about the huge amount of people in the middle class.
My point is that it doesn't matter - you can always choose. The American settlement-style of making it impossible to do stuff on foot even within cities is one of the very few things I'd count as something where you don't really have a choice.
People make bad financial decisions all the time? I dunno why you're so angry about this. Like, would you say someone with $10,000 of debt, no house, making $13 an hour is not poor? I mean ya they aren't destitute and homeless but that person sure as fuck wouldn't call themselves rich, you know?
"Fuck the people struggling to survive for having the ability to live a little and go on vacation, they deserve to be punished the exact same as the millionaires and billionaires jumping into their private planed to fly 45mins to skip an hour of LA traffic."
That's what you sounds like, you sound stupid.
Got one guy yelling that real poor people can't afford plane tickets and you're calling me stupid for the opposite reason. Meanwhile I'm here like, I never even took a position on the actual argument, I just wanted to make a distinction between poverty in wealthy countries vs poor countries. Yeesh
Why are you here preaching to us about carbon footprints when you yourself are wasting electricity doing so?
Not everyone, the minority who is rich enough to be the consumer in the first place
Wow, at least one highly upvoted comment like this has been on every single post that involves global warming on Lemmy that I've clicked on.
If we get to the point where we "learn our lesson", most of the innocent creatures on the planet are probably dead. You people depress me.
Ok, you first
We will all learn together!
😢😢😢😭😭😭
Poor kitties!
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
