In the last century there were two global wars, with an intermission consisting of widespread civil wars and a plague that killed 25% of the world's population. The second one ended in usage of nuclear weapons and the wind down was 50 years of imminent nuclear annihilation, and among other things, literal mind control experiments.


And prior to the century you're referring to we (humanity) had already begun terraforming this planet, via anthropogenic emissions, your argument is disingenuous at best.... Please quote the poster that said "the end is tomorrow". You can't because you're projecting that rhetoric hard onto the posters itt, no one has said that. Climate Change is a slow lovely burn with its ramifications already felt globally and continuing to worsen.

I'm curious to know how you expect humanity to survive after we've killed of the entire bio-sphere, you know the thing that harbours all life. I mean climate change isn't even the sole driver of the bio-sphere collapse, although it does contribute substantially.

Human actions threaten more species with global extinction now than ever before. Suggesting that around 1 million species already face extinction, many within decades, unless action is taken to reduce the intensity of drivers of biodiversity loss.

And the IPBES like the IPCC is forever proven to be exceptionally conservative. At this point considering how much peer reviewed literature there is, which I can't be bothered to post or hand hold you through. I have to consider your viewpoint wilful ignorance, which if an attempt to protect your mental health then sure go nuts, but coming into a thread like this and calling everyone "soft" and "naïve" just shows how little you know.

Yeah i've tuned it out because we keep getting dire predictions that don't come anywhere near true.

Yeah, it's always worse...

sure okay posted:

Lmao if you think climate change will kill more than, say, 4 billion people. Just lmao if you dont think humanity wont just trudge forward after that.

Some people have no idea how hard it is to do a full wipeout.


Humanity knows how to do it and we're full steam ahead atm.

The dudes who spent the 00s smirking about the irrational xtians with their invisible sky wizard becoming the modern day flagellates who spend all day self-inflicting panic and pain from behind their keyboards because of the incredible isolation and hopelessness that having no faith or community and nothing bigger than yourself to believe in actually makes a lot of sense.

One of the few upsides of Covid is that it finally put a bullet in the back of the head of the idea that lunatic paramilitary survivalists would in any way be the ones running the show after the collapse of society because they can't even wear a paper mask without throwing a temper tantrum. The dude who killed Bin Laden is literally asking to speak with the manager and the people who worship him are blowing their dicks off by accident trying to get Facebook likes, and this is less than six months in with the full comfort of modern living.

Protip to all the "Armageddon isn't literally upon us, I am very intelligent" types, people don't actually think the human race is on the verge of extinction, they're just using gallows humor to cope with the fact that various ecological and political forces are about to/have begun making the standard of living they've been enjoying substantially worse.

I literally believe that drought, famine, and societal collapse are something that anyone under 50 should expect to experience in their lifetime and that said collapse has a not insignificant chance of spiraling out of control until humanity is in a situation where it may well face extinction. We are in a great deal of peril right now.

Y'all are soft as gently caress. I guess this is the inevitable conclusion of screeching like a banshee over absolutely loving nothing. It becomes inevitable that when there's even the slightest bump of something not great, the screeching intensifies 10 fold.

In the last century there were two global wars, with an intermission consisting of widespread civil wars and a plague that killed 25% of the world's population. The second one ended in usage of nuclear weapons and the wind down was 50 years of imminent nuclear annihilation , and among other things, literal mind control experiments.

But you're all so soft, and you're being stuffed full of outrage content in both holes that when the geosociological temp goes up a degree you interpret it as the end times. The thought of your cushy life being interrupted only means your imminent demise.

Feel free to leave all your worldly possessions to me :)


Lmao you naïve little baby. Australia and Europe used to be sprawling jungles. North Africa used to look like Europe. It takes a lot more than some natural disasters and things getting hot to kill people off.

RTFT agitprop dipshit. You're spending a lot of effort to assert yourself as some kind of scientific authority, which clashes with your pseudoscientific scare mongering you've ripped straight from twitter. The idea that even a universal 30C increase in temperatures across the global climate would "wipe out the biosphere" is exactly the kind of hyperexaggerated nonsense that makes people laugh at you. Some real 呵呵 poo poo. You clearly don't know the first thing about biological stress, let alone the macroscopic ecological stress. Cut the bullshit, twitterbrain.

You're screaming and grasping at the reeds as you're getting sucked into the bog, lmao. Very typical scene for those of your deathcult when forced to reconcile that your beliefs are dumb bullshit for depressed terminally-online nerds.

Hey.

Hi.

What's your point? That global warming, climate change, and the stressors that it will place on society as we know it won't be impactful?

You're using this as yet ANOTHER reason to scream at people for being stupid, full of bullshit, and nerds, yet you post daily, and are always around, and constantly told you yourself are the one full of poo poo. Dude. Great. What do you want to hear? That actually, you're right, global warming is good now and we were wrong, thanks for letting us know? Because if that's what it takes to get you to gently caress off, then just imagine I'm saying it.

uh, 30C is a typo and you meant 3, right?

arguing that 3C wouldn't be devastating for the biosphere and therefore modern civilization is also incorrect, but I'm just trying to gauge the magnitude here
