The exceptional warmth that first enveloped the planet last summer is continuing strong into 2024: Last month clocked in as the hottest January ever measured, the EU climate monitor announced. https://nyti.ms/495nOtJ

fun fact, if all the sudden, the waisted plastic gets recycled, basically everything is recycled, we all used electric cars, and just basically everyone became green, we would only have 1 sec of clean oxygen before it's covered up by the smoke from big compony owned factorys.
Major extinction event? Humans might survive but there's going to be oodles of wildlife that don't make it and collapse ecosystems vital to our current way of life.
We may survive the event but coffee and wine might not.
it's already happening. a lot of fishermen, especially here in asia where I live, are horrified with the rise of invasive jellyfish that prefer warmer water wrecking entire ecosystems.
luckily, they're edible.
although they taste like nothing and don't even resemble jellies.
That's true it's not a lost cause yet but we are rapidly running out of time. Geopolitics are not conducive to the stable environment necessary to make those changes.
It is most likely we will engage in a large scale conflict before addressing climate change.
It’s a lost cause. Humans are mote of dust on the geologic time scale; 140K years. And we have F’d it all up in a small fraction of that.
WE! are the root cause of the 7th mass extinction, the Holocene. Our passing will be marked by a thin layer of processed hydrocarbons. Like the iridium…
Respectfully disagree. It’s not just climate change. Our growth was/is unsustainable. That’s why tens of thousands of species have been exterminated. It’s not just carbon.
Does this picture look broken to you relative to other natural systems?

After which time, the trillions we'd save from not buying oil & gas would massively transform our economy for the better.
Oh, and we'd save our civilization from annihilation.

It's my favorite side dish every time I go to a sushi joint. Goes really well with those shredded daikon radishes and soy sauce.
Or our governments can put in more effort to stop this, like say stop all wars and private jets and stuff?
I remember seeing that the recent stuff has been working, so it's not a lost cause.

So maybe we do something by 2030

Life - in some form - will go on. We just won’t be a part of it.
🎉
Our biggest threat during a mass extinction event will be getting a hold of things we take for granted.
Things like food, clean water, medicine, and fuel.
Supply chains don't run on dreams.

Something to give me hope.
