You know what would help this situation?
AI
Lots and lots of AI.
Also more religion.
Don't forget more Trillionaires
Isn't Ai a religion already ? 🤔
More religion? So just all, okay...guess the "life in balance with nature"-type of religions are also evil and protecting nature is cutting down trees
There's been a 73% decline in global vertebrate populations since 1970. We're in the beginning of a very serious mass extinction and it's kinda like we don't care which is interesting.
That's because a lot of money is being spent to keep us oblivious about it.
Well that's because we are the mass extinction event.
Yup, second organism to cause a mass extinction but the first to self proclaim it's intelligent.
Sociopathic billionaires with all of the power to do something about it absolutely don't care if the world ends. They only care if they were on top before the game ended.
Climate change deniers: "I'll be dead by 2050, why do I care?" or "Fuck you, I got mine already."
Reality: FAFO.
Most people are sheep. They just follow the stream and eat what big tech serves. As long as the entertainment in the arena (tiktok etc) is good enough, nothing else matters. No need to think, no time to reflect. With AI you don't really have to think at all. (feels like this is true, but hope it is not)
Oh good we are ahead of schedule
Nobody cares anymore now that datacenters and AI exist.
Corporations have never cared, it’s always deflection and distraction.
Example: the myth of recycling
Faster than expected, and worse than anticipated. It will get much faster and much worse. Practice growing your own food and stay in shape.
Actually, in line with what was actually anticipated and taught in science classes in 2000. People decided to go with the best case scenarios as if global emissions would go down for some reason. No one who has been paying attention should be surprised.
Idk how to convince people anymore. I am tired and sad
We're sitting in our rooms agitated, causing life long issue with sleepless nights, all while these fuckers that did this for greed sake are building climate controlled bunkers.
Fuck rich removed
see you next Tuesday is sencered? What else can we call them...
We could really use a covid-style lockdown for a few years.
I expect climate change to be consistently worse than the mainstream predictions.
There's a huge political incentive to err on the side of downplaying than to exaggerate, and those models should have been bad enough to make the point.
I am convinced all the climate change predictions were WAY too generous and reality is gonna be far worse.
Do you reckon the USA actions in the last 2 years have contributed to the speed up?
As someone who doesn't know much of anything about this topic could you elaborate on what actions the US has taken? I am genuinely curious.
Removal of subsidies for EVs, launching rockets for space garbage every 5 seconds, and bombing everything. I'm sure hitting the gas/fuel plant with missiles was especially great for greenhouse gases.
I think overall destroying gas/fuel plants will lower the amount of fuel entering the atmosphere overall. Sure the stockpiles will go up right then and there but that was going to happen anyway, and shutting production down for a few months will be a net benefit to the atmosphere (assuming they don't turn to a worse source of fuel, which they might.) The space industry also is still small enough that it accounts for a surprisingly small portion of emissions.
The EV issues and increasingly larger and larger vehicles I think account for a much greater portion of emissions.
Defenetly but its not the only thing
And people continue to deny that global warming is real...
No, that was plan A.
Plan A: tell people there's no climate change
Plan B: tell people climate change is natural, not man made
Plan C: tell people climate change is man made but there's nothing we can do about it
We're at plan C now.
A lot will admit it’s real but then shift blame to China while overlooking the facts that chinas pollution is largely made by western countries outsourcing the dirtiest parts of their supply chain to China and that China is vastly outperforming and outspending literally every country in considerably bringing down their emissions
Doesn't matter what your intentions are.
Doesn't matter what earnings you posted this quarter.
Doesn't matter if you believe in climate change.
Doesn't matter if you need this truck.
You're on this rock of wind and water and it'll do what it needs, to get back to it's equilibrium. That might be at a level we don't exist anymore nature is emotionless and you can't control it.
