About That 1970s Global Cooling...Today, climate scientists tell us the Earth is warming. Some people deny that, and point out that in the 1970s, climate scientists said the Earth was cooling, perhaps headed into another ice age. Today's scientists counter that it wasn't climate scientists who said that, it was the media.
… the fundamental observation that dominates today's climate science — that global warming is happening and is driven by manmade carbon dioxide emissions — was as real then as it is today.

German police prevents access to a excavator in a town called Lützerath from activists and others in an effort to pull as much coal before being phased out. Snippet of proof that institutional dependence of energy is a driving force of climate catastrophe. -

The world governments have united and have vowed to put all resources towards climate change. Democrats and Republicans have found common ground and will lead the charge, together!
Just kidding, the House is about to have its 9th or 10th vote on Speaker. The party known for gridlocking the government has gridlocked itself in the most hilarious way. There will be 0 funding for climate change going forward. In other words, business as usual, max profits, and more shit heaped on the poor. Glass half full, maybe being killed by the Earth rebelling against us is not the worst thing. -

"We anticipate that this may be one of the most challenging and impactful series of storms to touch down in California in the last five years,"
This all started when the jet stream exploded on December 14th, 2022. It has not even been a full calendar month. Since then we have experienced a deep freeze across the United States, the hottest January in thousands of locations across Europe, the Philippines have flooded, and now California is about to get hit by a hurricane.
It is only January. -

"The first law of humanity is not to kill your children."
- Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, atmospheric scientist, climatologist, and founder of The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research
Despite being in a La Nina climate cooling pattern, the world has endured deadly droughts, heat waves, and heavy rainfall flooding in 2022. It was a brutal year for billions as climate change supercharged the effects of La Nina, intensifying natural disasters across the earth. That pattern is expected to continue perhaps to August or fall of 2023 when the warming climate pattern of El Nino arrives. We will be out of the frying pan and into the fire as surface temperatures are expected to heat further, perhaps to the Paris milestone of 1.5C or higher, as climate breakdown continues to intensify unabated. In other words, we were spared the worse last year. We won't be spared in 2023 by any means. -

On the heels of a historic drought that devastated crops from the High Plains to South Texas, a new Texas Department of Agriculture report released Tuesday linked climate change with food insecurity and identified it as a potential threat to the state’s food supply.
The food access study, coordinated by the TDA and the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley, notes that “climate instability” is strongly associated with soil loss, water quality, droughts, fires, floods and other environmental disasters.
2022 was one of the driest years on record for Texas, and about 49% of the state was still in drought conditions at the end of December. The drought resulted in failed crops, low yields for farmers and diminished grazing, which forced ranchers to cull their cattle and led to the highest amount of livestock sold — nearly 2.7 million — in more than a decade. -

"I and the vast majority of my colleagues think we've had it," Barnosky's Stanford colleague Paul Ehrlich, who also appeared on the show, told Pelley, "that the next few decades will be the end of the kind of civilization we're used to."
That grim reality, according to the researchers, means that even if humans manage to survive in some capacity, the wide-reaching impacts of mass extinction — which include habitat destruction, breakdowns in the natural food chain, soil infertility, and more — would cause modern human society to crumble.
"I would say it is too much to say that we're killing the planet, because the planet's gonna be fine," said Barnosky. "What we're doing is we're killing our way of life." -

As climate change worsens and air becomes warmer and dryer, more corn crops will become contaminated with aflatoxins, it said. That will likely decrease the amount of healthy, clean corn available for those who rely on it for dietary and economic purposes.

In what year will the human population grow too large for the Earth to sustain? The answer is about 1970, according to research by the World Wildlife Fund. In 1970, the planet's 3 and a half billion people were sustainable. But on this New Year's Day, the population is 8 billion. Today, wild plants and animals are running out of places to live. The scientists you're about to meet say the Earth is suffering a crisis of mass extinction on a scale unseen since the dinosaurs.

Originally posted by vindicktive vinny it seems like climate change is also causing a decrease of literacy in people between the age of 18-59.
Seems like you enjoy your hopium.Overall, however, climate change is reducing global production of staples such as rice and wheat. And when we translated crop yields into consumable calories – the actual food on people’s plates – we found that climate change is already shrinking food supplies. Our study showed that climate change is reducing consumable food calories by around 1% yearly for the top 10 global crops. This may sound small, but it represents some 35 trillion calories each year. That’s enough to provide more than 50 million people with a daily diet of over 1,800 calories – the level that the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization identifies as essential to avoid food deprivation or undernourishment.

Although the cartoon states that these are “actual climate change pronouncements by scientists,” last year one blogger noticed the cartoon circulating online and decided to do a fact check – he had trouble verifying sources for many “pronouncements,” though he found some appeared to be “wildly inaccurate” or cited people who were not an “actual” scientist.
Apparently the cartoonist responded, but instead of providing sources, he copy-pasted a 5,000 word blog titled “124 Years of Failed Climate and Environmental Predictions” – except it only included 92 examples, many citing Victorian-era weather forecasts, general discussions about the Ice Age and quotes from people who aren’t “actual” scientists. -

On the contrary, we have evidence that climate change is already reducing agricultural output. -

Hey niggas the earth is always changing and humans adapt or die. I personally don't believe in human climate change and think it all depends on the suns output. But no reason to not stop putting shit in our air or water.
