Literal jet engines being built and guzzling fuel to power more AI datacenters because the existing electrical grid cannot power them and their existing city and towns of people.
If we stopped cold turkey today I was under the impression it’s gonna get even worse anyways from lag time of the consequences of what we’ve already polluted. Smoke for the rest of my summer days, correct me if I’m wrong.
When COVID hit and everyone did the stay at home thing we felt the effects almost instantly. Waterways cleared up and air quality improved significantly.
I remember this but I also don’t know if/how it will affect heat wave and ice caps.
Yes, it’s a sunk cost, we may as well just keep destroying the habitabilty of the planet since we’ve come this far, we ain’t no quitters.
We don’t stop till it’s Venus lads, roll coal! launches 4 bazillion satellites who needs O Zone either, let’s GOOOO
who needs O Zone either
sad numa numa noises
Wish you were wrong.
It’s depressing how few people know that. Like you think it’s bad, it’s going to get worse your whole life even if we stop everything today, now.
I think it’s maybe too scary of a verified truth for many people to even register. Like most people’s brains are protecting them by blocking them from understanding it.
If we stopped burning oil today, entirely, worldwide, the environment should stabilize around temperatures in about 10 years. That’d be a start. That figure also assumes the arctic permafrost hasn’t thawed far enough to keep pushing temps itself.
But yes I’ve read timelines of 100+ years to see real improvement.
That figure also assumes the arctic permafrost hasn’t thawed far enough to keep pushing temps itself.
That figure would be making a very incorrect assumption.
Wait until summer 2027, then no one will be able to deny this.
Nonono, I have a better idea : change nothing and lets just capture it!
