It gave me a ideia that.. it could actually be, a Cosmic horror style story where SOMETHING SOMEWHERE is making it rise really fast, and no one knows why
There could be a ecological message In it or something kk

Well, if we didn’t know, we could at least burn some innocent to please our gods of warming. I guess some would find that much less scary than knowing we‘re all responsible.

kbkorb.bsky.social•314 days ago

You're right. It's so much better knowing what we need to do, but not doing it.

oldehippi.bsky.social•303 days ago

It's even scarier that we know why and don't stop the cause!!

@davidho.bsky.social like those animals who didnt know about co2, continued business as usual beyond 1000ppm. They all died from poisonous hydrogen sulfide gas bubbling out of dead oceans 235mio years ago (like today), and their corpses turned into fossil fuel. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anoxic_event

It’s far more frightening knowing and doing nothing to solve the problem or at least curb it.

It would be one of the deities we believe in being mad at Grog for doing something forbidden like eating an apple.

That was not the 420 I was expecting to see today 😖

If we didn't know, governments would care and take action...

davidbhimself.online•313 days ago

Or not. We didn't know a while ago. We did research. Now we know. And...

But…but…isn’t it all to do with solar output…?!?! 🤨

davidho.bsky.social•314 days ago

No, apparently it’s us coming out of an ice age. 🙃

The plants are loving it! Yields through the roof!

CO₂ is plant food.

RUBISCO can be a bit fussy at high temperatures though

TIL:

"It emerged approximately four billion years ago in primordial metabolism prior to the presence of oxygen on Earth. It is probably the most abundant enzyme on Earth."

So much plant food

Yes it would be. But unfortunately it is just depressing that we know why and how to stop it but choose not to.
