It’s not going to get any better for anyone reading this. Have a nice weekend!
Hey now we could have a nuclear winter, don’t rule out a meteor strike either
We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!
Don’t forget the AMOC shutting down and sending most of Europe spiralling into the opposite problem as the rest of the world boils!
Great, another one to stress about!
Such a shame we have to keep increasing emissions, or maybe this coukd have helped.
Supervolcano is also an option!

If only the sensationalist headlines would get into the really cool science of geology/magma mechanics, I would have been so much happier in school.

in 1995, so they wrote it in 1994I think that was more a jab at the overall terrible state of the American public education system, but your point stands regardless.
i’'m still standing by “the simpsons predicted it”
Where do you think today’s problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.
I mean all seriousness aside, that photo is pretty fucking cool
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!
Not if we are just preparing for nuclear winter.
It took my whole life, but I’m finally the coolest fucking person ever.
Lol. “Children”
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…
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.

I’m vegetarian, cycle when I can, use public transport, recycle everything, and donate money to nature charities.
You?

The Earth was likely headed back towards another ice age before anthropogenic climate change took hold. So no, every year would not have been the “warmest” if humans didn’t exist.
Let me guess climate change or somebody lighting a cigarette?
