I'm not republican and I'm the most left leaning person you'll meet when it comes to civil rights and socialism. However, I just can't help but cringe when kids who've barely reached adolescence think they'll be dead before they reach adulthood because of global warming. Anyone else feel the same way?
they don't think everyone will dead before adulthood, but if we hit 3 degrees warming the science shows it will have have irreversible effects that will lead to additional disasters, unlivable climates in the hottest parts of the world, diseases that are carried to other countries from refugees, and adverse effects on crops and farming.
Well, maybe teens worrying about not reaching adulthood is a bit excessive, but I can legitimately see kids worrying about not reaching old age.
Kids are over-reacting but someone has to over-correct for everyone else’s inaction
A change of +5 degrees Celsius brought about a mass extinction event 250 million years ago. There are several feedback loops that make the warming process irreversible, such as ice melt releasing methane (26x as potent as CO2). Last time we had 500 ppm carbon in atmosphere sea levels were 130 feet higher. Read a book.
Toh book laao, mujhko sataao
This is fake
Some regions will become inhibitable, others will become better. Overall, smaller area will be arable, but developed counties will be fine. Russia, Canada and Scandinavia will be better than before. People living near the equator / at altitudes close to sea level will probably have to move somewhere though. Generally, it’s pretty bad, but the hysteria that the humanity is ending is cringeworthy.
Humanity won’t end. But political turmoil and maybe war is likely to break out from all the refugees pouring in and trying to hop over Trumps wall
War with whom exactly? Mexico will attack USA? North Africa might turn into permanent war zone, but developed countries will be fine.
Guess science is a sham. Let’s stop trying to know things.
Yeah I mean fuck Africa amirite, "it's already a shitty continent" so whatevs lol
This comment is the height of western privilege
Curse it! Its already stopped snowing in my area from past few years. I fear future generations wont know what snow is, and they will be cursing us for making the planet 'Venus like'. It amazes me that young kids are more aware than you. Your generation dont give a damn to future kids you live for only yourselves. So the kids are right to worry for themselves.
I didnt care about it until saw receding glaciers. They look aweful.
Right. Because it's not a silent killer unlike Hiroshima. And the 2 people affected can buy guns for their rights. Murrrikaaaaaa !
