Pretty sure climate change is already here.
Yep, have to do all those things all the while it's too hot/humid/cold/wet/dry in some wild random combination.
My advice is to live your life as best as you can without worrying too much about things you can't control. Try and build a life around yourself that'll help you be happy through it all, regardless of what happens. Enjoy your 20's. 30's are good too and 40's don't suck either.
To paraphrase Sun Tzu: do not choose a path to victory. Instead, choose a strategy such that all paths lead to victory.
And don't have kids.
Don't want em to suffer worse shit down the road.
Have kids if you want. It's just insane to me to plan your entire life and make major decisions on a cataclysm that may or may not even occur in your lifetime; and it (climate change) may present in ways that we can't even imagine now.
Edit, fine, fuck me, it's raining fire and brimstone out there, billions of people are dying in the streets, the horsemen of the apocalypse are here, it's game over for the human species, my bad. Nobody have kids, it's over, might as well just shoot yourself right now.
Um... It's literally happening right now. They told our grandparents "it'll be your grandchildren who will really suffer"
We're the grandchildren. Food and water shortages, people dying from the heat, floods, pandemics. All of it is happening in first world countries. The US, Europe, China... Last year, this year, next year
We're past the "slowly gets worse" phase. We fucked around for that. We're starting the "find out" phase
May not even occur? Mate, it is occurring right fucking now.
Seriously. This isn't the bible where people prophitized the world will end in 130ad. We are in it now. This is happening, and educated people have been warning everyone about it.
*Bible apocalypse year estimated
Male pattern baldness is the correct answer actually
It's winter where I live. Temperature should be around 10ºC but some places registered 30ºC. And this week we'll have our 4th hurricane of 2023. My house is old and I fear soon I'll wake up without a roof.
My anxiety is so bad today. I keep trying to find new ways to deal with it, meds, meditation, exercise, but how the fuck am I supposed to keep up?
The world is not ending, this is a very slow rolling problem. And humans will solve it for sure. Worst case scenario, quality of life goes down a bit but it would still be much higher than what the average human experienced for 99.9% of our history.
"Many of you shall die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make"
Lol. Well how many people would die if we stopped using fossil fuels? In the end we'll have to rely on technology to fix this.
Tell me you don't understand the implications of climate change without telling me you don't understand the implications of climate change. If you think food and water shortages that put 80-90% of the world's population at risk of death and simultaneously destroys global economic flows humanity has become reliant on is better quality of life than ever you are dillusenial.
It's not that bad.
I won't argue about the science because there's no argument left for that, but if you think money or technology is a magic formula that will shield us from climate change you're putting a lot of faith in something with very little certainty.
We can do amazing thing when we are united and determined. I trust that as the situation gets worse humanity will rise up to the task.
It's almost as if we should be spending our time working to mitigate climate change and helping build societal resilience instead of working on meaningless careers....
Can’t do that without money
at this point we need to be spending all our money on SURVIVING climate change. We can work on mitigating as well, but we're past the point of no return and still arguing if it's even an actual thing lol.
It's funny to see this comment downvoted so heavily (-14 at the time). I wonder if it's disagreement or just "I don't like that idea"...
The simple facts are we've dumped over 2 trillion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. A bit over half has been absorbed by the oceans. We have no realistic way of removing it. And combined with other GHGs it's driving an unstoppable global warming. We can talk about reducing emissions and renewables. But even if we stopped all emissions today, it still wouldn't be enough to prevent the global average temperature from continuing to increase.
I think there are still lots of people holding out hope that we steer off the cliff, but meanwhile we're still globally using as much fossil fuels as we ever have and while there are things on the horizon the CO2 in the air is not going anywhere. So we are going to have major problems to deal with in terms of human sustainability even if we went 100% green today.
Humans are smart, we need time to change entire species to a more sustainable living. Time we just don't have. So it's time we skip the BS and start talking about where we are going to get water, how we are going to farm, how we are going to keep the oceans from destroying our coastlines etc..
If we start now we might be able to mitigate some of the effects of climate change or at the very least make it so not everyone just immediately loses all their assets and/or dies from lack of water or starvation.
Let's avoid mad max if we can.
I'm not saying we give up the fight on eradicating fossil fuels from our system, but I imagine the downvoters took my post that way. It's just if you spend about 10 seconds watching CNBC or listening to our politicians you'll find out pretty quick they don't care about climate change all that much. Just making money.. Even the politicians that do care the best they can do is try to help the "free market" move us to a sustainable future lol. Just not going to work.
We have some major water crisis going on right now in a lot of places in the US. Not just deserts. The water wars will be coming much sooner than we anticipated if we don't start to prepare for it.
I don't know why you're getting downvoted. There's a lot in your comment. We badly need to mitigate, but we also need to put a lot of our resources into ensuring we survive as a species. A lot of money is needed in the global south, particularly (who have, on large, barely contributed to this problem).
yeah my main problem is while we're over here still arguing with people about climate change's existence and the loud solution is to somehow rid ourselves overnight of fossil fuels.. Meanwhile that's all fine and dandy, but even if we stopped using fossil fuels today the damage is there and we're already seeing critical water shortages in tons of places.
It's time to accept that we are going to have to live through this to some degree until science hopefully finds a way to suck the carbon out of the air.
The hurricanes, the floods, the droughts.. all things we need to start working on solving. Droughts being front and center. We need to desalinate. There is just no way around it. We need to get started on that effort yesterday.
Ah, the End of the Human Race, wonder what the afterlife's like? Cause that's my retirement plan, Valhalla.
You dont get one. Be nice to your husband.
I'm sorry I don't understand
Dont concern yourself with such things.
Lots of people claiming they give a shit about CC online and yet the number one selling vehicle segment is large trucks and SUVs. And not just in the US, but in Europe and elsewhere larger, taller, thirstier SUVs and crossovers are the rage. Consumer's buying habits aren't really changing all that much in all manner of product segment.
I think this cultural blame on SUV/truck drivers is misguided, and I pedal a bike to work and share a car with my wife. While I try to make responsible decisions, the impact I can have on the environment is tiny in comparison to large corporations and billionaires. Largely my "sacrifice" is meaningless, past giving me exercise and making me feel good about my decisions. If every middle income or poor person in the world did their best within the system to make responsible environmental decisions we would still be headed to, and in, a climate catastrophe. Policy has to change and corporations have to be forced into making more responsible decisions. An electric car is still an incredibly inefficient use of energy. But I can't force my city to add public transit to make not owning a car viable. Large properties and spread out infrastructure is also killing the environment, but I can't personally force city councils across the country to scale back single family zoning in favor of multi use zoning.
The main place regular people are failing is not what they drive, but who they vote for, imo.
Whatever, you really care abouy CC? Push china and india. Nothung you can do by "walking to work" bunch of BS teying to get "social points"
bruh.. I think you WAY over estimate "lots of people" on lemmy or reddit even. It's small change compared to the BILLIONS who don't give a fuck
"Kid, don't you want to work hard and be able to retire in a nice beach house like mine?"
"But your house is isn't on a beach..."
"By the time you retire, it will be. And it'll be worth so much then."
I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.
Now I'm picturing more typical one story ranch style houses lining the beaches instead of the usual mcmansion monstrosities that block the view for everyone else. Nice.
I paid for the click clack, I'll use the whole click clack
Hahaha wtf is this BS?
