Let's do a klimatekatastrophe any% speedrun
I'm waiting for the hot part of the year to start where I live, and I live in a tropical country! It will be so funny! 🫠
Curious: how do they know that? Recorded history is like 5k years right?
Meanwhile in Moscow the coldest 12 of July in 75 years is happening...
That's why we have tried to make the change between saying global warming and refer to it as climate change which is more accurate and leads to less "oh yeah but it was cold here" or whatever's. Just exacerbates temperature extremes
No need to single out meat production. There is so much farming going on that annihilates places like the Amazon. I have seen claims of those crazy huge shipping vessels that pollute more than all cars combined over the course of a year.
What they are farming in all that land is feed for livestock.
So yes, even though they’re growing plants there, those plants are being grown to feed the animals instead of feeding humans directly. Which thanks to trophic levels is a massive waste.
The amount of feed needed to rear one animal to kill for food is not even CLOSE to equivalent to how much we would get if we didn’t add the extra step in of feeding animals and just grew plants for ourselves instead.
The meat industry is a massive contributor to global warming, and we could drastically reduce our effects on climate change if we just stopped eating animals.
wow what are they farming in the (clearcut and burned) Amazon? why shouldn't we single out animal agriculture?
Shout out to all of us who buy anything shipped, any petroleum or oil-based products and those of us who aren’t vegan
I'll never understand why some supermarkets choose to individually package stuff like eggplant or zucchini in plastic baggies. Or 'oh, you want some habaneros? here's their weight in packaging as well. you earned it!'
So you're saying it's a cycle /s
Sure, it will cool down in a few million years. We’ll be fine.
Don't worry all of this will soon be over.
I guess this is supposed to be taken as a bleak joke but it won't be over soon. We all will likely experience a direct hit to our quality of life. If you're poor, your survival will get harder. If you have or want children they will have fundamentally worse lives, compared to what we experienced so far. This can go on for decades or centuries, depending on how much we can stsill fix and what tipping points occur.
So yeah, hope that is some motivation to change something. Or at least shout at some people. :)
