What depresses me isn't human extinction, it's that we're taking everything else down with us, except maybe some of the more hardy bacteria. Also the untold suffering of billions but that will last a much shorter time in the grand scheme of things and I can always just think of how many of them didn't care or believe in this until they started starving/being blown by category 9 winds/burned or frozen to death by the air around them.

Amazing takes I've enjoyed reading from elsewhere that I'm sure will also draw a smile from everybody here:

Losing 95% of insects by biomass is no big deal, they aren't going extinct after all there's just fewer of them

Climate change doesn't cause extinctions and shouldn't be worried about, animals just move to places they can inhabit while others move into those newly available spaces

We can't lower our farming output under any circumstances because it'll cause poor people to starve; food waste is unavoidable and as good as it can get anyway

Soil depletion is no big deal since soil manufacturing exists - that'll just scale up naturally as it's needed, and distributing it won't be an unsolvable problem anyway

Further growth and industrialization will naturally be mitigated by increasing efficiencies in greenhouse gas production

And of course my favorite - melting glaciers, drying rivers, and depleting aquifers aren't a problem since nuclear power plants, desalination plants, and pipelines for moving fresh water inland have decades yet to be built before it's a major problem

Thus the world is saved and nothing need be changed infinite capitalism forever hooray






we're all gonna die and it's gonna be funny as hell

The cloud cover going away is fine because we have cloud seeding so we can just seed all the cloud cover we need is one I've heard.

But think of the numbers that could go up instead!

Gareth Gobulcoque posted:

It's almost certainly true that developed nations won't feel the worst impacts at least for a time. Worst impacts =/= no impacts or minor impacts or even catastrophic impacts. They might be spared from ever seeing them if the dust settles at like +3.0 degrees, which isn't impossible just unlikely.

The future isn't set in stone, and there's a world of difference between 3.0 and 4.5 degrees.

I mean we're literally right now at the point where the weather has gone "lol" and flooded a shitload of the US washing away the already damaged arable soil and replacing it with useless sand, and Australia has like 12 different hurricanes hitting it, so I don't think developed nations will actually be spared the impacts, it's just that at this point the planet is basically rolling a bunch of D20s to decide what happens as the balance is thrown further and further off.

It's really weird to broach climate change as a subject with other people who consider themselves progressives because even they label you an alarmist. Which is true of course, I personally think we should be somewhat alarmed at our impending doom but hey that's just me.

One of my best friends is a doctor and her response to the ever-increasing bullshit going on in the world has been "wow that's weird huh"

Anyway my plan to cope with climate change is to start hitting the gym with one of her sisters because I'm pretty sure that if I survive the initial blast of hellishness then I'll either need to subsistence farm a plot of mostly dead scrubland, or I'll be enslaved by whatever ultracorporations as a farmer, or maybe just maybe I can join a group of muscly raiders and we can find some gasoline out there.

Wait a minute. I just had a thought.

If we undo the Great Oxygenation Event, doesn't that mean if life rises again then there's a chance that there will be a second Carboniferous, replenishing all that oil and coal and poo poo?

We cannot allow this to happen, either we must ensure that life can never arise here again or we must avert planetary climate death.
