    Hey now we could have a nuclear winter, don’t rule out a meteor strike either

    Technically, we could all collectively decide we have had enough. We won’t, but we could.

      I’m not even sure that’s enough. Some tipping points are already reached and the CO2 that’s already in the atmosphere won’t magically disappear because we don’t add more.

      Keep that in mind when you hear that the emission is still rising exponential

        Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we’ll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of “carbon capture” that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the “pork barrel spending”.

        I suggest making sure you have an “exit plan” for when it get worse than you’d like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won’t mention them explicitly.

        Even if we replaced all energy production “magically” with solar/wind/tidal, we’ll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!

          If you’re going to take an “exit plan” there are a lotnof revolutionary ways to go about it

            Sorry, maybe I was ambiguous. The violent/revolutionary approaches would be to achieve some sort of climate recovery, which might obviate needing an “exit plan”.

        Yeah but most climate scientists say every little bit helps, so if we could just do a lot of bits maybe we won’t all have to die.

    Nope, we are in summer here, I guarantee it will be colder in the winter

      They said “our planet is currently the coolest”, not your local temperature.

          That’s true, but you’re spouting the usual climate change denialist argument.

            I am making a joke, not an argument.

            This is a a shitposting community, stop taking it so seriously.

            This is also just a meme, sure a meme that is accurate, but a meme none the less, it is not an article about climate change (which I have never held any doubt is real), if it had been and been posted in a serious community, I would not have made this joke.

    On average. 1.5 degrees hotter, every square inch of earth, every second of the day. But some areas will become cooler than we knew them up to now, when ocean currents break down.

      Not having children is great for the environment.

      Judging by how much they scream on the topic, it’s great at fighting capitalists as well! Though to be fair, screaming kids are great at fighting those as well…
