How much longer are we pretending to be suprised by this shit? I'm sick of it already

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

Well, at least we can enjoy fresh new wacky reactions each year from now on. Gobsmackingly bananas, indeed. :(

And they’ll be stunned again next year but still the government won’t do anything about it because it isn’t an issue that will win them (enough) voters.

I'm just gonna miss getting snow over Winter. Won't be surprised if we don't get any.

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

Instead of snow, we now get ash raining down from the town a few miles over that is burning to the ground because of a forest fire ❤️

Don't like it, not one little bit.

We're also going to run out of oil in the 2060s. Can't come soon enough

By the 2060's a few billion of us will likely be dead, so it's swings and roundabouts I suppose when it comes to running out of oil.

Some fun links from the World Economic Forum and the United Nations about this: Global freshwater demand will exceed supply 40% by 2030 and 90% of global top soil and arable land is at risk of depletion by 2050.

Likely the most vulnerable populations will be in already struggling and poor countries. :(

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

Yep but more than likely we won’t be prepared…

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

Probably not, I care more about the environment though and the habitability of the earth than having oil. Besides, we do have alternative energy sources.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
