Since when did that happen? Is it just from trees being cut down?

Idk, could be. The carbon wasn't trapped for some reason, they don't know why.Â

Well I still find it hard to believe, considering we still have lots of oxygen. We should still plant more trees and flowers and clean up our oceans though.

Its a good song. I still think everybody hurts and losing my religion are better, but this one is also goated

Love both of those, but I'll take Imitation of Life over them any random day.

Oh yeah, Imitation of Life is goated as well. 10/10 song.

God knows what's going on, maybe we just produced more carbon or more carbon came out the permafrost and caused a statistic that makes it seem like no carbon got sinked. Here's an article from the Gaurdian. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/environment/2024/oct/14/nature-carbon-sink-collapse-global-heating-models-emissions-targets-evidence-aoe

I mean, the trees hardly just stopped holding carbon and they are still producing oxygen so they are taking in carbon to produce that. So fuck knows. Maybe the permafrost has finally started melting rapidly.

The Earth recovered from five extinction events in its history already so what’s one more. Some extremely severe. That this latest epoch has been so super stable is cosmic luck basically. By now 99.9% of all species that ever lived are extinct and we didn’t have anything to do with about 99.85% plus. Might we be a part of such an event? Who knows. Our existence as a species is but a blink on the life of this planet anyway.

Now that doesn’t mean I say let’s all just dump plastic in the sea and do tractor pulling en masse though.

Everything has to start from zero again. Millions of years of more evolution and with environmental factors intelligent life (with opposable thumbs) may not emerge again. Seems like a waste, we should really take into account how important we are to the universe if on the really off chance we are the only intelligent life in it.. (Which is very unlikely)

Don't know if I should take your word for it. There are a lot of climate crazy people out there. And I remember the proclamations of points of no return decades ago. People are too quick to judge an extremely complex problem without thinking about solutions potentially being worse than the problem at hand.

I frequently see people say this, but aside from a few cranks, most of the predictions that I'm aware of had always talked about like dates in the range of 2030-2100.

Where are these points of no return that we should have passed decades ago, who was saying them, and what exactly did they actually say?

Yes, nothing bad has ever happened, nor ever will happen.

(A lot of actual danger has been avoided, because people did something about them.)

What I would be doing is reconsider the sources I get my information from.

Yeah, the ones that'll tell you what you want to hear.Â

No. You have to be realistic. Nuclear war isn't going to happen because no nation on this planet wants it. Everyone knows that nuclear war cannot have any winners.

The threat of climate change is real, but it's not going to hit extinction level during my lifetime, so the questions posed in the original post are ridiculous.

Legend11 correctly predicted that GTA IV will outsell Super Smash Bros. Brawl. I was wrong.

What do you do in the mean time, let's say it was nuclear winter and you're not in a city and lucky enough to get evaporated. What a you do in those months while you wait to die?Â

ima just a find a way to die, im a type 1 diabetic, any apocalypse situation means im dead.
