I gave a dissertation on this theory to my colleague's regarding microplastics pre-COVID. While not my area of expertise, they asked why I wouldn't want to have kids, so I gave a PowerPoint presentation lol.
I actually consider myself very lucky. You see if I had not spent 5 years graduating with a second major and had not wasted a year in a PhD program and a few years in my initial major which did not work out. If I had not done that and instead grabbed a major that paid or just some certs and started working. Well then I might have been situated such that when I got married we might have went for kids. Luckily I kicked myself down the road into the new millenium where I could now see it was not a good idea.
That’s fascinating, we’re creating a modern dust bowl
The Holocene Extinction, better known as The Big Six by professionals in that field. May also be annotated as The Plastic Apocalypse.
This is pretty significant considering photosynthesis from most plants will degrade and even stop at higher temperatures. We have known about it but other plants using a different type of photosynthesis will still be able to do it. This however sounds like it would effect all plants regardless. Granted maybe I sound to light but you know. Fucked a bit harder.
