Fetch...the Comfy Chair! | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
im sure it does but it all plays a part. Some argue eating meat is bigger emissions than all of that. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
That's just a tiny fraction of the energy we use. Regardless, we need to at least double our energy production in the next 50 years, regardless of crypto or AI. Just the electrification of transport would dwarf both those things. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
> Well my dad made it better, my grandparents did, so did my great grandparents.
Actually they made it worse by having you. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Too late for most of us.
You can take steps to save yourself now, but it'll be hard. And I don't mean prepper bullshit. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Indeed, the earth will be fine. But human civilization is what will be changing. We are not prepared for climate refugees from drought stricken countries. Major things are going to need to change in human civilization to adapt. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
That's great thinking and all, but without the government subsidies and incentives we'd never be where we are with solar and evs. There needs to be a great push for it. The problem is, it's all moving too slow. We knew about this issue in the 60/70s and have done pretty much fuck all for 50 years. Solar and wind are great, but just look at the emission numbers. I just heard the numbers released on NPR this morning and emissions have gone to record highs. Not down. How is that progress because solar is somewhat cheaper. https://www.npr.org/2024/06/06/nx-s1-4992290/carbon-dioxide-record-high-atmosphere | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

I'm burned out on doomsday scenarios.... running out of water, food, sand, the landfills growing exponentially, mass increase of population, mass increase in consumption, mass increase in waste, huge reduction of rain forests, ... a little bit of carbon dioxide does not sound too bad. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Dude you need to give up the dream. A) you're old now. B) It's too late. C) If you care about the environment, the best way to help is to not breed and make it worse. Each new person adds 16t of carbon/year, and then add all their ancestors, and you get the conclusion that ZERO parents care about the environment or sustainability. My grandparents are responsible for the existence of no less than 75 people at this point and that will only increase as each subsequent generation keeps breeding. So right now, 2 decades after they died, my grandparents are spewing 1200t of carbon per year. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Nothing to worry about. It will sort itself out eventually. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
In Canada the climate change deniers are so far ahead in the polls because they speak out of both sides of their mouths, telling farmers their will be more subsidizing because of the changing climate while insisting the climate isn't changing
they do the same with immigration, telling people they will clamp down on immigration, and telling immigrant communities there will be "more flights to Delhi" under their administration
they promise "smart immigration" which just means they are gonna pretend they solved the problem the minute they are elected | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
“The fifth largest sample size in 50 years of testing”. So, small sample size, no direct correlation to human industry, and an outright false claim as a title. If increasing amounts of carbon in the atmosphere is really a dire problem, these activists groups are doing one hell of a job at giving us reason to doubt it. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

when they talk about transportation co2, they mainly mean industrial transport. about 10% of co2 is public transport. it literally doesnt matter what you do differently, its corporations that have to make the changes | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |
Maybe humans will survive. Maybe we won't. But if we do survive, I wouldn't want to live in a world where we were responsible for wiping out so very many other species.
A world without whales, or coral, or elephants, or lions, or bison, or songbirds, or honeybees, or wildflowers, or giant Redwoods, or any of *thousands* of other species threatened by climate change.
All that will be left will be the very hardiest of what we now consider *weeds and pests*.
It would be a very sad, boring world. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-07-06 |

Nah we wouldn’t have to. We would all just have to stop eating animal products. But that would make us healthier and stop animal holocaust, so I don’t think it’s worth it just to save the planet 🤓 | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

So like, at what point do we grow concerned over air quality? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
You are talking about firing CO2 into space? I can't say I am a huge fan of sending earthbound molecules into space, we have a finite amount of carbon and oxygen. Various space agencies already send a ton of limited resources into space and I am not a huge fan. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
There will always be a group of people willing to eat human flesh and drink blood. Thats a problem when there is no food going around. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
There is a correlation between the two. CO2 has been increasing since the last glaciation when it bottomed out at 170 ppm. Both global temperatures and co2 rose together. The research I was involved with could not distinguish which one led the other as we were only capable of studying carbon dioxide through our method. As far as I know, there is no method for establishing global temperature with the same refinement that research into co2 levels can establish. Ice core samples, sea floor core samples, and terrestrial core samples settle in very clear layers that are literally frozen in time. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
People wont care until it directly affects them and by that time it’s already way too late to do anything about it | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
More fear mongering… | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
My cousin works for one of the biggest clothing brands vendor as an environmental sustainability and safety inspector in Asia and I can't help but laugh, because even he thinks those ESG goals are absolute garbage - he just needs to make the hundreds of factories producing his company's brand lines to comply for compliance's sake. We still produce way more chemical waste and burn more energy when we recycle materials (especially fabric) for repurpose while selling renewables and recyclables as a selling point. We are 2-3 decades behind on renewables at a global level, yet every industry is so deep in bed with consumerism and bloated profit margins that no company is willing to sacrifice profits over an existential crisis.
Take for instance clothing and shoes. People don't need hundreds of t-shirts and 2-3 dozens of shoes out of necessity. Markets have also equally become predatory on the fact that consumerism is out of control and they continue to try and maximize profits through overproduction. Companies are part of a much bigger problem that has become a cultural standard globally - and that is excessive consumerism.
I work as a construction estimator in the commerical and industrial sectors. I've worked on several LEED plat and gold projects and it's not much different in this industry either. It's all just fancy ratings without any merit. While the requirement necessary for certain amount of existing or demolished materials to be recycled is a criteria for LEED plat or gold rating, CGs will often literally demolish and send to landfills 75%+ of pre-existing material, because well, it's cheaper to throw shit away than to actually repurpose them.
I can't say it's the same for every industry, but when throughout all my professional life I've only but seen reputable companies skirting regulations and compliances, I'd imagine it's all the same to varying degrees. The only real, and honest organizations/companies are ones like Patagonia and non-profits who stay true to their mission statements. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
Which part do you consider is shit filled? Do you think that CO2 levels are not currently elevated? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |
So far this is all based on a report by the soil tester, who submitted his results to the county. Due to severe soil compaction in the entire back yard, a permit for a new system was not approved.
I guess I just don't get it. I understand not wanting to dig up an active drain field, but can the whole back yare be so compacted that you can't just build a new one next to the old one? | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

That hits close to home. The depression comes from a clear picture of things as they are. Whether the depression came first, or it is a symptom of the reality doesn't matter. Without the lens of marketing, dreams, ego, self preservation the world is as it is. Things as they are. It's difficult to stay that way. Sometimes it's better to just pretend. Pretend to like the music, pretend it's all okay. When you're strong enough you can look again. It's difficult but important to look. Then look away because it is alot to bear.
It's been this way for me for over 40 years. I've always been "weirdly accurate" at guessing the future, how things will turn out. Because I accept the truth of our reality. Not the reality of nature, the reality of the human being at this point in time in the universe. And it's made me successful and it's always made me sad. I get happiness from my family, from my community, from the things I love. And the people I love. But I will always be sad because I can, at any point, choose to not ignore the truth and know if I stop pretending, I'll have to bear the weight of the truth. And that is difficult. So sometimes I choose not to, and sometimes I choose to.
It doesn't change anything. It just hits close to home. Thank you. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Individuals can't do anything about it. You can recycle your ass off and reduce your green footprint to almost 0 all year long, but one day (or less) of a corporation's pollution output will outdo your green year. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

This is what you call blissful delusion. Most experts in the field are very very worried for good reason. Forget all the actual physcial cascading effects on the environment and other life, I mean those are enough to cause a nightmare.

[Stratospheric Aerosol Injection](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol_injection)
Natural volcanic eruptions reduce the temperature worldwide within months, and we saw the warming from the termination shock of sulfur marine fuels within months, so clearly the response times are there, even at human scales. Granted, it could be much slower than that if we go into it slowly -- and we probably should -- but my point is that it's not something that's hopelessly behind and unable to spin up fast enough to combat what's coming. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

I'm not sure you can use that. Frankly, I'm on the fence between you two and wish you continued but it appears the conversation has stopped. But saying there is no negative to not having kids is simply a personal experience value proposition. It's like saying there is no negative to never seeing a sunset. At a macro, it is truthful, but do you think that is really a truthful statement? Is there no negative to never seeing a sunset or having your kids see a sunset? I would argue it's not a binary as you two are making it out to be. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Even without climate change, the soils will eventually depleted and we would run out of fertilizer, you can't just make phosphorus from nothing, and then the production would drop and starvation ensues.

When everyone else uses cars why should I change?
When it’s challenging to do so why should I inconvenience myself?
Even if I did change my habits it is only a drop in the bucket.
Even if I did change my habits others won’t and so it’s pointless.
I’m not saying you are saying this exactly but it’s important to note that you are the change you want to see in the world. Candidates exist because people vote for them, companies exist because people purchase from them. It is true that others likely share more of the blame for pollution but don’t let that take away from your own agency.
Action needs to start somewhere and if people continue to externalize global warming to other parties (but the companies but the candidates but our society…) nothing will ever change. We can move mountains when a large enough amount of us work together in concert.
You choosing to bike instead of drive might feel like just a drop in the bucket but just like candidates being elected every single individual vote matters even if we can’t always see it.
I will say that it is unfortunate that certain cities are definitely still more car oriented so in that case I definitely agree it can be difficult in these cases but thankfully more have been moving towards being bike friendly. | r/worldnews | comment | r/worldnews | 2024-08-06 |

Anyone who has the ability to use critical thinking and do non partisan investigating and a little research will find that this "climate change denial" was created by fossil fuel companies after they realized their products were warming the planet and they might get regulated.
