Not true, Marcos.

I simply don't care in the slightest.

Why should you?

You have no conscience. You're the sociopath conservatism appeals to.

You lacked the ability to think independently, and you never will.

Beyond climate tipping points: Greenhouse gas levels exceed the stability threshold of the ice sheets

nhouse-gas-levels-exceed-the-stability-threshold-of-the-ice-sheets


As the world keeps increasing its carbon emissions and exports, rising in 2018 to a record 33.1 billion tons per year, the atmospheric greenhouse gas level has now exceeded 560 ppm CO2–equivalent when methane and nitrous oxide are included, intersecting the stability threshold of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets.

The term “climate change“ is no longer appropriate since, what is happening in the atmosphere-ocean system, accelerating over the last 70 years or so, is an abrupt calamity on a geological dimension, threatening nature and human civilization. Ignoring what the science says, the powers to be are presiding over the sixth mass extinction of species, including humans.

As conveyed by leading scientists: “Climate change is now reaching the end-game, where very soon humanity must choose between taking unprecedented action, or accepting that it has been left too late and bear the consequences” Prof. Hans Joachim Schellnhuber.

“We’ve reached a point where we have a crisis, an emergency, but people don’t know that … There’s a big gap between what’s understood about global warming by the scientific community and what is known by the public and policymakers” Prof. James Hansen;

I don't care because there's absolutely nothing that I can do about it.

News flash, there's nothing you can either.

Feel free to drive yourself even more insane than you already have thinking about it 24/7 though. I find it hilarious to watch you go completely off the rails.

6ix, follow Mike Pence's example and bitch about the price to reduce CO2 rather than claim "there's absolutely nothing that I can do about it." Then the conversation becomes about how poor you are instead of how ignorant you are. (Parenthetically, being stupid and being poor are statistically correlated.)

Interview: Vice President Mike Pence says Trump won’t make energy more expense to reduce CO2.

www.cnn.com/2019/06/24/politics/mike-pence-climate-crisis/index.html

TAPPER: I want to ask you a question about climate change. Do you believe, think human-induced climate emergency is a threat to the United States?

PENCE: Well, what I will tell you is that we will always follow the science on that in this administration. But what we won't do -- and the Clean Power Plan was all about that -- was hamstringing energy in this country, raising the cost of utility rates for working families across this country while other nations like China and India absolutely do nothing or make illusory promises decades down the road to deal with it.

You know, the truth of the matter is, with the advent of (cheap) natural gas, with the natural gas explosion that is developing with clean coal technology, we're seeing a significant reduction in carbon emissions all across this country.

TAPPER: But is what people are calling a climate emergency, is it a threat? Do you think it is a threat, man-made climate emergency is a threat?

PENCE: I think the answer is going to be based upon the science.

TAPPER: Well, the science says yes. I'm asking you what you think.

PENCE: I got it. Look, what the President has said, what we have said is that we're not going to raise utility rates. Remember what President Obama said?

TAPPER: It is not a threat?

PENCE: He said his climate change plan is necessarily going to cause utility rates to skyrocket, and that would force us into these green technologies.

Now you have got Democrats all running for president that are running on a Green New Deal that would break this economy.

TAPPER: OK. So you don't think it is a threat, is all I'm saying? You don't think it is a threat?

PENCE: I think we're making great progress reducing carbon emissions, America has the cleanest air and water in the world. We will continue to use market forces.

You never answered my question, dipshit.

How did you change the environment for the better by voting for Obama twice?

Did that vote for Hillary do anything to save the whales?


It doesn't matter that you have money, Second.

THERE'S NOT A GODDAMNED THING YOU'VE EVER DONE IN YOUR LIFE THAT HAS BENEFITED MOTHER NATURE.


Why don't you close up shop, kill the cows that are farting up our atmosphere, then swallow a huge bottle of pills and stop expelling all that CO2 yourself.

That would be your first and only positive contribution to the environment in your life.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Fuck off, Russian troll.

Spoken like a true Russian troll.

I already beat you bloody on that point. Stop sealioning, Russian troll.

What does a Russian troll do when proven wrong? Sealioning, as seen here.

Russian trolls need to be quick with the insults, and light on substance.

BTW, your last quote is HI-larious, considering you're the quickest with the insults.




And if democrats don't do anything different, how are they any better?

In light of the permafrost / subsea methane releases study last week, and the nitrous oxide releases study this week, how are we not totally 100% fucked?
Coping
As title asks. Excuse me for not linking the referenced papers, as I am on mobile and it is a tedious process in the web form.

How do we even put this back in the bottle? We are not yet seeing the warming impact of carbon releases from the 90's, let alone the 50% of total carbon emitted since the industrial revolution began, which was emitted beginning in roughly 1995. We have no practical and scalable way to sequester that carbon, and our emissions are increasing every year.

We have no way to halt the permafrost failures in the arctic. We cannot sequester that methane, nor the nitrous oxide. Both of these emissions are going to continue to accelerate for decades, until a sudden clathrate gun event, thanks to their own compounding warming effect and that of the carbon which we cannot sequester. How do we put megatonnes of methane back under a polar ice cap which no longer exists?

Short of an actual, literal, fucking magical event, we are already dead. Even if we could flip off all emissions tomorrow, globally, we've already triggered a feedback scenario sufficient to kill us - likely within the lifetime of anyone under 40. Definitely, since our own emissions are unlikely to ever cease.

Like, this isn't even the slow burn mad max scenario people like to fantasize about. This is everything gets progressively shittier globally for a decade or two, and then we all just die at once when the arctic coughs up a lung.

Fuck.
