Damn, we actually collapsed our environment in the name of profit. This must be the great filter. Its the enticing imaginary bullshit that leads to total obliteration over advancement. The chasing of made-up dragons to make some nonexistent number rise.
I don’t believe planet self-destruction is the The great filter, just our filter and we failed. In all fairness it’s probably the first of many future filters that would have gotten us too.
The irony of filling up my screen with an advertisement as I try to read about what will be the collapse of our civilization is not lost on me.
So, what does this all mean for us? It means we have even less time to get our act together. Reducing emissions isn’t just a good idea — it’s crucial.
Our planet’s systems are interconnected in ways we’re only beginning to understand. If we want to keep things from getting worse, we need to act now. Every little bit counts, and the clock is ticking.
In other words…we’re fucked.
Well, yeah.
You were expecting maybe all of the countries of the world to absolve their differences and join hands to defeat the problems of climate change?
Sounds kinda like a fairy tale.
Yes, we are likely seeing the last generation of humans on earth.
We might be able to mitigate some of the effects of we start removing the actual problems people…granted the solution isn’t exact ‘legal’
I agree that it’s going to take popular action to prevent the capitalists from continuing as usual, whatever form this action takes. But it’s not going to happen until we’re organized and prepared to risk our own safety for the greater good.
We’re likely to see a lot of suffering and disruption along with increased mortality, but humans are way too resourceful to go extinct, even with a severe disruption to the climate
Maybe, depends on how uninhabitable the planet actually gets. We think we know what that looks like, but there are pretty wide error bars around the worst case scenarios.
There’s no climate scenario short of nuclear winter that renders the planet completely uninhabitable by humans though. We’re not facing a situation like The Road where the sunlight is completely blocked, killing every plant. Even with the worst case climate change scenarios, people are going to be able to find habitable areas and move plants to new regions where they will grow, or utilize technology to grow crops indoors, which already happens
It doesn’t have to be completely uninhabitable for it to be uninhabitable for humans.
The word “uninhabitable” usually means whether humans can live there, and I specified I was talking about humans. The earth is not going to become completely uninhabitable by humans. I’m saying you’re wrong when you said “this is the last generation of humans on earth.”

Life on earth:
Great Britain will get more than chilly. Arable land was expected to drop from 32% of the region down to 22% by 2080, slashing their economy by a third. If the AMOC is already showing signs of breakdown, that timeline will need to be shortened.
A weaker ocean current could mean colder winters in Europe and shifts in rainfall patterns that affect millions of people.
Millions? More like billions.
Fuck it let’s go. Day After Tomorrow us. There’s a whole section on tax law down here that we can burn.
