Record-breaking increase in CO2 levels in world’s atmosphere | Experts issue warning after finding global average concentration in March was 4.7ppm higher than same period last year
Maybe it wasn’t clear that the goal was to produce less CO2. How about if we make a big banner or something, y’know, to really spell it out.
Vast majority of people just don’t give a shit. Honestly, my life and mental health improved so much once I just resigned to the idea that we’re fucked.
You got downvoted, and I don’t like the idea of giving up. But this shit is exhausting and depressing, so absolutely make sure you look after yourself.
It was like drinking poison and expecting everyone else to die. I’m so much happier now that I just said fuck it. Highly recommend
I still try to limit my impact but a few years back I realized that going out of my way to do “green” things was mostly pointless. Its like trying to bail water out a boat that people are actively kicking holes in.
Recycling - It almost all ends up in the trash anyway. Fuel Efficiency and green transportation - Why? 90% of people seem to want to drive a giant SUV.
People care about stupid, ineffective, virtue signaling bullshit like plastic straws and not wasting a piece of paper.
If people really cared, they’d ride their bikes or at the very least, reduce their meat consumption. However, a wide majority simply do not care.
I noticed my mental health was having serious issues due to climate issues and had to step away. I keep tabs somewhat, try to do what little I can, and hope somehow things will turn around. Years ago, I didn’t see any way we would see our way safely through the Cold War, and then out of nowhere it was over. I see no way out of climate disaster, but hope somehow out of nowhere a solution will present itself for this one, too. That’s the hope I hang on to, and it helps me.

Has anyone investigated if Russia has maybe a few too many open gas pipes? Wouldn’t this county massively profit from reduced permafrost and increased climate refugees causing chaos in Europe and other non dictator countries? Is this too much conspiracy? I don’t state this as absolute fact, just some out of the box thinking that could be wrong.
We need a space blanket to deflect a percentage of UV rays from the sun, and we need it asap
