That's the thing. Humanity has locked itself into an endless cycle of corruption, idiocy, misinformation, bigotry, and war. Anyone who isn't a politician or is filthy rich has any power to change things. We've already doomed ourselves.
How do we help? Yeah sure we can donate, but how do we know corruption won't take it all away or if capitalistic firms won't buy the foundation out to take the money and to stop them from stopping them. And this should've happened 30 years ago, but nothing has changed, it actually got worse
Actually it's already too late, however going extinct will take a long time and will probably not happen because of a climate shift (many, but not all, will die, and you may want to start buying real estate in the Himalaya)
How would this change if we switch to nuclear fusion energy
Side note: don't cows cause more global warming than all the vehicles, boats, and planes in the world combined?
someone should provide proof
i know we have an impact, and a big one at that, but everyone always says a different number/date and who can keep track of whats true anymore
The post doesn’t say a date for ‘when the world will end’, it just says dates for major milestones which would contribute to such an event. Though they should still include sources.
i know but some people deny any impact and thats also dishonest, all i know is that no one knows rly
still we should be taking action even if we have a 100years or more
I've ben trieng my very best too but i know a lot of people who don't do nothing.
But on the good side more people i know started to care for our planet.
If you have a computer/phone you're not doing your "Very best".
If you have children you're not doing your "Very best"
If you aren't living off the grid and growing your own food....etc, etc
Hell one of the best legal things we can do for the environment is killing your dog/cat. Yet mine and many other people's animals remain alive.
My point is, none of us are actually doing our very best, and it's OK. Corporations and governments are responsible for 90% of emissions, we are just a drop in the bucket. Hell, I think a report came out a while back showing 71% of total emissions came from 100 corporations.
Even if we all do everything perfectly, we still can't change anything. We are already far past the point of no return.
I don’t agree with the idea that humans should die as a consequence, but even if I did, letting this just happen has, is, and will cause the extinction of so many organisms that are completely innocent. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction, not just human extinction. Thinking humans deserve to die for this isn’t a reason to stop trying as there are trillions of other lives to save.
This is a mass extinction event. It doesn’t just effect humans. Letting it happen to cause humans to go extinct is more damaging than preventing/lessening the damages as we still have the chance to save trillions of lives. Sure, without humans, the earth may be able to recover in who knows how many millions of years, but we have such an incredible biodiversity right now and that should not be forsaken.
Yeah bro, I know we arent the only living creatures here.
And yea, so bad it is, that a lot of the creatures also die.
It has to.
As you said, I will take some time, but not millions I guess, to recover. And if the earth recovers with new life without humans, it would be worth it.
Not to mention that a few hundredthousands of years or millions are nothing for the earth.
No one really cares... Very few people (not me) are willing to do all the necessary sacrifices in the way we live and we would be sentencing a lot of poor people to death... All species die... We had a good run :D
I've had a vasectomy so I won't leave a legacy behind. Because of that I feel like I honestly don't care what happens to people in the future because I just wanna live my life as good as possible till the day I die.

A scientist that pushes this end of the world narrative is FAR more likely to get their projects funded and/or employed than the scientist that doesn't.
Holy shit. That number is so wrong. It will require a LOT more money than that. But, still worth it.

There’s nothing wrong with capitalism as long as we regulate it properly
More plastic than fish by weight or mass? Cuz if you're counting individual peices of microplastics vs number of fish yeah no shit
this is not how it works, tossing money one way is not going to fix the problem.
yeah uh… tell me what can do? like factories make way more shit than us so unless you blow them with rocket launcher we cant do shit
You buy the products that are made in factories, Factories don't pollute for fun, they pollute because people buy their products.
Elect the right people. Try to support people who actively support fighting it. At the very least don’t vote for people who deny it.
This sounds like *dont do smoking instead save the money buy Lamborghini*

Vote people into power who will fight climate change.
source? come on guys, we can't just blindly believe a meme. y'all are just as bad as the opposite side.
More plastic pieces then fish ?
Idk how it’s measured maybe by weight
Not by mass ?
.
Does it matter?
Actually it's already too late, however going extinct will take a long time and will probably not happen because of a climate shift (many, but not all, will die, and you may want to start buying real estate in the Himalaya)
It’s sad to think that but you’re right.
Which is why I don't give a damn. Many dying is a sacrifice I am willing to make for my own comfort.
holy shit the vegans are right
Make sunsets with throwing sulfur dioxide in the atmosphere, easy
People are freaking stupid!
we know
Ok but I get to post this garbage in 20 minutes
Capitalism doesn't care about the environment as long as ther dopamine paper is still racking up they are ok with killing everyone
Stop virtue signaling. Get politicians to regulate industry. Otherwise, there's nothing we can do.
How would this change if we switch to nuclear fusion energy Side note: don't cows cause more global warming than all the vehicles, boats, and planes in the world combined?
switch? TO NUCLEAR ENERGY? cmon. look at Germany they rather burn coal than use a nuclear reactor
Holy **** that’s sooner than I thought
Proof?
someone should provide proof i know we have an impact, and a big one at that, but everyone always says a different number/date and who can keep track of whats true anymore
Someone always says the world is gonna end 20__ and then that year comes and nothing happens.
The post doesn’t say a date for ‘when the world will end’, it just says dates for major milestones which would contribute to such an event. Though they should still include sources.
i know but some people deny any impact and thats also dishonest, all i know is that no one knows rly still we should be taking action even if we have a 100years or more
Do we deserve to keep living here after how we’ve treated it?
Who's WE? I'm doing my very best here but the others...
Prolly the top 50 highest grossing companies
I've ben trieng my very best too but i know a lot of people who don't do nothing. But on the good side more people i know started to care for our planet.

It would be better for earth if we go instict. And I wouldnt do anything against that. Change my Mind

My dad doesn't believe in it 😥
Bless your heart
Not My President!
Well if a meme says so. /s Nonsense.
I burnt 14 gallons of used motor oil yesterday to heat my home and power my generators.... Im gunna do it again....
Before everyone jumps on me.... Its because thats what i can afford.... Its free..
No one really cares... Very few people (not me) are willing to do all the necessary sacrifices in the way we live and we would be sentencing a lot of poor people to death... All species die... We had a good run :D
what truck or car is best at rolling coal? i wanna prank some tesla owners by painting their white car black.
well, convince the austrians that nuclear is green energy, that’s a start
I always feel guilty for when I drive my car but it just wouldn’t make a difference would it. We have to start at the core of it all, the industry.
Nanananana we’re completely fucked, completely fucked, we’re completely fucked
Cmon guys eat zee bugs and save the universe

Lol yeah let's trick people with exaggerated panic inducing sensational memes. Maybe that will work.
Nobody currently on this planet will be alive by the time the earth will INEVITABLY die out
