NASA: Is it too late to prevent climate change?
https://climate.nasa.gov/faq/16/is-it-too-late-to-prevent-climate-change/ Humans have caused major climate changes to happen already, and we have set in motion more changes still. Even if we stopped emitting greenhouse gases today, global warming would continue to happen for at least several more decades, if not centuries. That’s because it takes a while for the planet (for example, the oceans) to respond, and because carbon dioxide – the predominant heat-trapping gas – lingers in the atmosphere for hundreds of years. There is a time lag between what we do and when we feel it. In the absence of major action to reduce emissions, global temperature is on track to rise by an average of 6 °C (10.8 °F), according to the latest estimates. Some scientists argue a “global disaster” is already unfolding at the poles of the planet; the Arctic, for example, may be ice-free at the end of the summer melt season within just a few years. Yet other experts are concerned about Earth passing one or more “tipping points” – abrupt, perhaps irreversible changes that tip our climate into a new state. But it may not be too late to avoid or limit some of the worst effects of climate change. Responding to climate change will involve a two-tier approach: 1) “mitigation” – reducing the flow of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere; and 2) “adaptation” – learning to live with, and adapt to, the climate change that has already been set in motion. The key question is: what will our emissions of carbon dioxide and other pollutants be in the years to come? Recycling and driving more fuel-efficient cars are examples of important behavioral change that will help, but they will not be enough. Because climate change is a truly global, complex problem with economic, social, political and moral ramifications, the solution will require both a globally-coordinated response (such as international policies and agreements between countries, a push to cleaner forms of energy) and local efforts on the city- and regional-level (for example, public transport upgrades, energy efficiency improvements, sustainable city planning, etc.). It’s up to us what happens next.
Yes, according to a trump supporter we need to eat babies
Hahah good one. Yes because it’s too late........ we had to 😞
Only a few developed countries treat it seriously. Even if US goes green there still will be India, LatAm, China, Russia and Middle east that have much lower GDP and capabilities to follow.
Yeah, right. It's all those foreign countries fault, not the Western hyperconsumption.
Only the most brainwashed countries take it seriously LOL
No it isn't. Check the newest dataset for the IPC report in 2021. Rip global warming alarmists
There's still actions we can take. For example CA is already ahead of the pack in reducing energy use through impromptu rolling blackouts.
Wildfires are worsening because of the green lobby restricting logging and brush clearing. The only place where temperatures have had a significant change to date is near the North Pole.
Intel is responsible for climate change. Buy AMD
This global warming hoax is another great way to separate freethinking people from the mind controlled sheep
No, I’m climate Jesus. Repent for your climate sins
I created earth, and the climate never changed at all until just recently
We are all going to die.. in 2 years !!!!! Reeeeeeeee
Anyone who suggests paying higher taxes is a solution to stop Armageddon Should donate all the income voluntarily without waiting for us, bigots 🤣🤣🤣
I guess because you can be overall pro-ecology and for progress and still think that New Green Deal is insane.
*cranks AC up* Yup, too late.
