We’re sitting in our rooms agitated, causing life long issue with sleepless nights, all while these fuckers that did this for greed sake are building climate controlled bunkers.
Fuck rich removed
see you next Tuesday is sencered? What else can we call them…
Just attach a link to mudrat…
And people continue to deny that global warming is real…
A lot will admit it’s real but then shift blame to China while overlooking the facts that chinas pollution is largely made by western countries outsourcing the dirtiest parts of their supply chain to China and that China is vastly outperforming and outspending literally every country in considerably bringing down their emissions
Some have stopped denying the warming. But they’ve moved on to “humans can’t cause enough pollution to affect the entire earth” and “It’s god’s will to bring the end times” fml
In the UK they’ve moved on to “we’re too small to make a difference, it’s like pissing in the wind”…
seems like they are still ignoring BREXIT’s fallout too.
It’s not happening.
It’s happening, but it’s not our fault.
It’s our fault, but it’s too late to do anything about it…
Tell them to fuck their gods. ATP There should be forced climate action whether other people like it or not.
My favorite is “it’s real, but it’s the sun, so…what are we gonna do? Besides, humans can’t possibly affect the earth!” as if things like aerosolized lead blanketing the planet for 60 years simply didn’t happen.
Since the invention of the rock axe, there has been a continuous decline.
sad monke noises
Truly wild.
I’m in the northern us and traveled to Austin, TX for work recently.
I departed at 72 degrees and raining and landed in 98 degrees with a 78 dew point. It was a heat index of 116.
I understand exactly why the world is burning, watching all the people scurry from AC to AC in a state which derives most of it’s power from fossil juice. And then of course, everyone is driving a monster vehicle and coal rolling pedestrians and e scooter renters.
We’re so fucked.

Global warming or American degrees…
Was Fahrenheit even American?
I think he grew up and lived in Europe after his ancestors moved there from Africa.
Feels ironic.
This is not supposed to be personal, but an additional point is how it is completely natural to us as a society to fly somewhere. Even if it’s for work.
Absolutely.
I don’t fly often, but my entire team travels for work, meaning they are on the road all day, everyday. We are a sales organization and that’s what is expected by our customers.
I’m not exempt from blame here. I do what I can to reduce my footprint, sadly it’s not much.
I fully understand. I did that for a long time, too (working and participating in a frequent flying environment). But that’s really where we need to change society. The way we think about things that we have never questioned before.
And one additional thing should become very clear: it’s not only about our footprint. Someone needs to stop others from destroying everything, from flying, from coal rolling monster suvs etc. And as there are too few people being that someone, we need to be that someone.
I guess we should vote for fascists harder about it.
Just woke up. It’s 6 am and 28 c.
I’ve accepted that we won’t survive the coming storm. Covid showed us that people couldn’t be bothered tonwear a mask or get a shot to fight off a disease that was visibly killing millions. If we can’t come together on that, there’s no way we’ll come together to survive the climate crisis.
State where you’re from, because we complained but largely adhered to the mask thing in Australia.
Do you mean ‘we, society as it is right now’ or ‘we, the human species’. Because i don’t really disagree, but at the same time i’ve seen people get through stuff i expected would kill them. I’m quite convinced some people will survive the storm. Might not be many if we continue this way though
Oh humans will survive. We’re hands down the most adaptable species evolution ever spat out. Billions of us living as we have been? Definitely not. But make no mistake, it’ll be humans, cockroaches, and whatever’s going on on those deep sea vents left at the end.
I wouldn’t overestimate humanity’s survival capabilities. There have been over a dozen known species of the genus homo, yet all but one are extinct. The rest have died out mostly due to natural changes in climate.
Sure, we can adapt, but we’d have to put in an actual effort to do so. Reducing emissions is an adaptation, but we’re not doing enough in that regard.
If anything is left, it’s not the end. Revolutionary optimism even in the face of extinction, man.
That and the willingness to throw every billionaire into a woodchipper.
It’s the end for billions, possibly trillions of living beings though (remember not only humans are suffering from climate changes). There will be some sort of rebuilding sure, but the cost will have been unimaginable.
This depresses me so badly. I don’t think we can fully grasp right now just how bad the next few decades are going to get
I think youre right, most people are still too busy fucking around to notice finding out. But there will be a point everybody will see clearly how bad We’ve fucked up
Canada opened up some ski hills last week.
So as per the predictions the temperatures will go down. /s
Have you guys seen the earthquake videos coming out of Venezuela? You can just tell Earth is pissed the fuck off.
You can argue with scientists all that you want to, they’re not infallible, it’s true.
But you were warned for many decades, don’t act all shocked and surprised.
43 Celsius…along the Atlantic coast too.
Doesn’t matter what your intentions are.
Doesn’t matter what earnings you posted this quarter.
Doesn’t matter if you believe in climate change.
Doesn’t matter if you need this truck.
You’re on this rock of wind and water and it’ll do what it needs, to get back to it’s equilibrium. That might be at a level we don’t exist anymore nature is emotionless and you can’t control it.
Humans existed in harmony with nature for a very long time, and in many places still manage to, despite the increasing challenges posed by climate change.
The human species isn’t what’s throwing the planet out of equilibrium. It’s capitalism and the closely-related evils of white supremacy and war.
We can survive this if we kill capitalism, kill the notion of whiteness (and Zionism), return to listening to nature if we have strayed, and avoid war.
Though the human population is projected to begin shrinking very soon even without major environmental pressures, so “surviving this” might not look like the society we have today. Maybe we’re maintaining our own equilibrium, at least a little bit.
I am convinced all the climate change predictions were WAY too generous and reality is gonna be far worse.
They were
Scientists always were afraid to be too alarmist and be ignored, so they always went conservative with their estimates.
Now we are here
Yep that’s my fear
It will be even worse than what you’re expecting right now
That’s 43 celsius? Holy shit, good luck to the french, it will soon be everyone.
at leas they can make baguettes and crossaints out in the open.
Last summer in Canada my car read 44C. Was fucked up.
Was your username inspired by the air quality that day?
Nope, they turned into soup last summer and have been that way ever since
You know it’s crazy. This weekend I drove through Southern Utah Arizona and Vegas in Southern California. It was 109° in Las Vegas 106 in St George Utah and 105 and Baker California. But it’s expected in those areas during the summer. Canada that’s insane to have those temperatures. It’s hard to fathom that in France. Maybe in the south of France where it’s closer to the equator. But it’s still crazy to me. Well not crazy it’s further proof of global warming. Not that anyone that can do anything cares.
Paris is ~5deg more northern than Montréal, it’s just how the ocean currents work and stuff that makes the weather different. Kinda fucked up, eh?
Yeah I remember reading something about that at one point a couple months ago. They’re talking about how the European settlers when they first came to the United States they looked at the latitude and longitude of it and we’re absolutely dumbfounded at the difference in temperatures.
