Yeah.
For some comparison, the rise of trees in the Carboniferous period may have inadvertently caused or contributed greatly to its extinction event...

During the Great Oxidation event 99% of life on Earth died. Sure, that was natural, but like. Is that what we want to happen on our watch when we can stop it? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I’m actually halfway through Homo Deus on Audible right now! I gotta take that one slow because it’s so dense, but super thought provoking.
Thank you for not calling me an idiot like some other guy did. It’s good to know that likeminded people are out there. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I'm sorry but this is deluding yourself.
There's no tangible impact left. Blame governments, corporations, racism, whatever.
It's over. Past tipping point.
There's rumination, there's ostrich-like ignorance. There's hedonism, last days or Rome kind of escape.

First link takes me to a page where I’m
Not sure it’s an article. It says it’s worse in ‘some’ northern areas. We all can agree on that.
Second one shows a graph that shows a reduction as explained. The reduction matches my 5 year old data as it’s mostly the same data I believe. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I feel like corporations only caring about short term profits for their shareholders coupled with their lobbying power is going to ultimately be what destroys this planet.

Redditors in general, and lazy people like them, don't like to change their behavior. That's why these comments are always downvoted in these discussions. Because even though corporations are responsible for the vast majority of the pollution, lazy fucks refuse to accept any responsibility. Every single time the climate discussion comes up one of the top-voted comments is something along the lines of "and they want me to switch to paper straws while the corporations pour tons of pollutants into the rivers". Like... yeah, because every little bit helps, and decreasing the demand for plastics by switching to alternatives will lead to a net benefit in the long run.
But lazy people don't think that way and they don't like to change their behavior. They'd rather make excuses for why they shouldn't have to make changes in their lives. It's just a shit argument. Both can be done, and both WILL help. Instead, these fat fucks will defend their daily consumption of McDonalds, their usage of helium balloons, their reluctance to recycle, etc - all because "but the corps are worse". | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Humanity, natures one hit wonder. We peaked early and will fade away! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Totally not missing the point of the article, but thanks for your assumption. You seem to be missing mine:
CBS makes a headline about runaway CO2 emissions which, are "faster than ever," meaning unprecedented or "never this bad ever in the history of anything ever happening".
They then proceed to correct themselves and say it's the 5th largest...
Not the worst, or in their context "first-largest" or THE largest.
It's clickbait, sorry. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Check the graphs in their source, they match mine. Happy to be shown otherwise! Human growth is so large that we will be in natures way a lot more, nobody denies that. It’s obviously getting warmer too. Again, nothing new but the uptick is faster. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
I think the USA is going to have to become the "bad guys" suffer through a horrible war on our own land, and somehow lose that war, for the tide of late-stage-capitalism to come to a close.
This country will cling to it like madmen, but we might not have a choice.
Only then will humanity be able to move forward into something reasonable and sustaining. We're not going to give up our gluttony for resources. We're just not. Nor will other nations. Not without crisis. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Humanity has proven that we can plan for the future and engage in projects that wont benefit the current generation but will benefit future generations. But this late stage capitalism attitude of "line must go up" has put consumerism over absolutely everything else.
I believe its a systemic, societal problem driven by our overlords at the top rather than a flaw with our species.
The flaw with our species is that we are hard wired to organize ourselves in a heirarchy and then not break that heirarchy until it becomes unbearable. By the time we overthrow those responsible for climate change (if we ever do) it will be far too late.
Most revolutions dont have a hard deadline. This one does, and we have probaby surpassed it | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Being adaptable and surviving doesn't mean we're gonna thrive in catastrophic climate change. I could see a lot of humans dying out from famine, birth rate decline, wars, disease, etc,. Human "civilization" could just end up as subsistence farming or some sort of modern take on feudalism. People are gonna be way less focused on research and development and there could be loss of knowledge/technology, at least for the masses. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Nixon created the EPA because Congress was about to create something much more draconian.
I will give Tricky Dick a bit of credit here, that was a compromise which is something the modern Republicans can't seem to wrap their pea brains around. But ultimately his goal was to create an institution that would pay lip service to protecting the environment, while rendering them toothless to hurt his big business donors. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Prices go up, poor countries starve while rich countries complain about inflation. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Those stats are misleading since they include donations from employees of those companies from their personal bank accounts, not tied to the interests of the companies themselves. If you work for an oil company and you donate to Biden, it's going to show up as a donation to Biden from the fossil fuel industry, but that is misleading since the company didn't make that donation itself. The real big money we have to worry about are the super PAC donors. That's where the billionaires and corporations and foreign governments use to influence policy.
That being said, you can see clear differences between the two parties. The Democrats have been making active efforts to fight climate change for years, while the Republicans have been blocking all those efforts. Based on their behavior, you can deduce that the Republican party is the one taking bribes from the industry itself and its super PACs. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Bad news. It's not just the atmosphere that has issues. It's the soil we grow our plants in as well.
It's a bit of a quiet crisis, but when it hits (half century) then we're gonna have population control whether we like it or not. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Well yes and no… Humans are really bad at course correcting so things like stop using cars, eating meat and flying is pretty much useless and doesn’t work at scale.
On the other hand, Humans are amazing at adapting to difficult circumstances and I’m pretty optimistic that we’ll be fine.
Despite all the doom mongering from Redditors who don’t actually go outside, the simple truth is that, orders of magnitudes less people die today of Natural disasters (Yes, natural disasters), illnesses, famine and starvation than did 50 or 100 years ago. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I feel like a dick arguing with everyone, but I find this super normal/common sentiment frustrating. I’m copying a relevant comment I made down below:
“
There have been 5 mass extinction events of similar scale in the 3ish billion years of life on earth. So to cause one ourselves is pretty major id say
And we have this confidence that life is so resilient (I.e. “life finds a way etc etc”) but we haven’t had much chance to actually test that out. Like I said, in 3ish billion years we’ve had 5 mass extinction events, we can consider these our “tests”.
5 tests in 3ish billion years is not very good data - maybe life got lucky those 5 times? Do we wanna push our (all life as we know it’s) luck?
But hey, maybe life is super resilient, maybe life is a law of entropy & is almost guaranteed given the right conditions. Could be true, but there isn’t much evidence for it currently. We have no clue.

With all of these private climate agenda meetings and public statements from billionaires, fossil fuel burning is still paradoxically accelerating. I think the solution is that billionaires aren't doing enough and need to quadruple or quintuple the number of events where they fly their jets into rich resorts and talk amongst themselves about the need to cap CO2 emissions and cap the global temperature rise at 1.5 C, which is starting to look like a pipe dream. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Fun fact: there are charcoal fields outside of Chernobyl where the radioactive contamination is indeed preventing wood from decaying naturally. And it does indeed lock in a huge amount of carbon in this forest that never decays.
So now there are whole fields of very flammable charcoal logs just sitting there. Out in the open. Of a modern battlefield. Completely covered and filled with the sort of stuff you want to keep in lead-lined concrete caskets deep underground. And it looks like it's going to be a dry summer there. Again.

100%. Also, think about the people who do care about the environment. It's a lot of educated people and people that aren't struggling day to day. Lower income people in the US for example could care less about changing anything when they just want to survive. That is compounded in 3rd world countries. The average person can literally do nothing to stop this, IT HAS to come at a huge governmental level between the biggest countries to do anything. I recycle, i take public transport, i eat locally grown food, I use the least amount of power necessary, i dont buy shit i dont need, etc. but it's doing fuck all on the grand scheme of the planet and I'm a lucky one who is well off and not struggling day to day. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

We as a species got lucky that our ancestors, who were use to living in harsher living conditions that most today ever could deal with daily, survived. We are not the same as them.
Any where that remains habitable for long will be overrun by people. There will be fighting over the land that is left. We will likely kill most of whats left of us ourselves before climate ever can. That will likely leave very few of us left.
Also the situation will not be the same either. This isn't something that has just happened. It will likely be way worse than the ice age was with the help we are giving it.

> There is no such thing as having kids for the sake of the kids... That makes no logical sense. You cannot do something that someone who isn't in existence wishes.
You seem to have some serious empathy problems. When someone plans to have a kid, a good person will think about the future they can provide their kid. They will have a room ready for them, and even might start thinking about school before they're even born yet.

Exactly, Amazon deforestation is a classic example. There is a level called "point if no return" on which enough deforestation will prevent Amazon forest to retain the necessary humidity and block enough the winds to keep it humid.

i agree with this.

Feudalism, peasant farming, **all farming** requires stable and predictable climates. That’s probably why human agriculture didn’t develop until the end of the last glacial maximum.
Other sources of food within our environment like fish in the ocean were wildly abundant and relatively easy to catch. The modern ocean has been dramatically over fished, polluted, acidified, and dramatically heated.
In other words the ocean compared to pre-industrial times is effectively **dead already**. Add in the fact that it will keep on warming, and continue to become more acidic before our civilization collapses, annnd studies have already suggested that the Ocean will essentially be empty by 2050…
https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/seafood-biodiversity
In other words there is no “going back” to the way things were. The composition of the atmosphere has already been changed and will not stabilize for thousands of years. Wild sources of food have been effectively driven extinct.
Living as a pre-historical or even pre-industrial world was quite difficult.
Now take that lifestyle and instead of allowing people to live in a environmentally pristine world instead make those same people live in a toxic waste dump…

and if you WANT to make changes, like add solar to your home, they put up roadblocks to make it difficult or way more expensive than it needs to be. only 5KW is needed on most homes, at retail price of $1 per watt, thats $5KUS for the solar panels, mounts. add 30% to that for the synching microinverters and wiring. can be wired in less than 4 hours by any electrician. Regulations, roadblocks and outright greed by solar install companies take that MAX $10 of equipment and turns it into a $80K price that nobody can afford and has a payback time that is unreasonable. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
