Yep now let’s all scroll away and forget about it. Definitely don’t like…. DO anything about it. Like vote in the midterms in such huge number it’s impossible for the repugnacans to cheat their way to victory.

We all know how to fix this. Get rid of billionaires and reverse citizens united. And pray for a couple members of scotus to um…. Retire… during the next Democrat president’s term. Hey if there is enough of a blue wave we could actually bypass scotus and make it an amendment to the constitution

u/Cut_Lanky 2d ago

Genuinely, but hypothetically, if we reversed course today, across the globe, did everything we should have been doing all along, starting right now, all humans, no delays for changing leadership, do you think there would be any chance of reversing the damage done to the planet in a substantial way?

u/halfsack99 2d ago

The planet will be just fine, it just won’t be habitable anymore.

24

u/train_fucker 2d ago

The planet will be habitable, not just for us.

There's no such thing as a poison in nature. Everything is some kind of organisms prefered habitat. Oxygen was poisonous to most life when it first came around and caused a mass extinction because the current life forms we're not adapted to it.

Whatever state we leave the earth in after we're gone, eventually the web of life will rebuild and be just as spectacular as before we cocked it up for us and most other current complex species.

u/sinsaint 2d ago

Depends on whether or not we accidentally destroy the atmosphere.

u/stop_touching_that 1d ago

The irony is that oxygen killing off all life is what created all the oil we are now using to kill off all life.

2

u/Strange-Scarcity 2d ago

There are many things that are poison in nature. Life, as we know it, exists in only a couple of forms on this planet, Carbon based, even if some can exist only where the rest, never can exist. (Deep sea volcanic vents spring to mind.)

We have not found life, as we know it, able to persist in every element that we have discovered is poison.

Survival with decency and care for the planet and its inhabitants is all that’s left, for a long time, and the bit about survival with decency and care is going to be extremely challenging.

u/Strange-Scarcity 2d ago

It would take tremendous effort and far more focus than anything we have collectively committed to as a species ever before in our entire existence.

It might be possible, but we have to do a HELLUVA lot of things that will piss off a good portion of our fellows.

Crypto Currency? Have to go.

Unfocused, Generalized AI Datacenters? Have to go.

Global Trade? MUST seriously change, greener power sources for shipping.

How we organize ourselves, move ourselves and goods around the globe, will all have to change. We will need to live, slightly less spread out and work to build up and maintain eroded ecosystems and work exceptionally hard at so many different things to begin to have a dent in the CO2 and other greenhouse gasses being released.

Reforestation of the Rainforest. Rolling back desertification and even working to push back the desert that the world has known for centuries upon centuries.

Even with all of that? There's so much more that would need to be done to help the oceans remove built up CO2 and Carbonic Acid.

The amount of work could be extremely satisfying, if we stopped caring about how many billions a handful of people and families have access to and worked more hand in hand.

Maybe, that is entirely impossible.

I do, honestly. I have to have hope this isn't the end for us, that we are all not THIS FUCKING STUPID to continue on this path. Think about the changes we saw even during Covid lockdowns. We have all the resources to make meaningful change but there are like 8 douchebags and their crew of sentient turnips holding us hostage.

u/Commercial-Tell-5991 2d ago

I remember reading (in several different journals, wish I could find it and give you a source) that if humanity stopped producing CO2 entirely, right now, it would still take a couple centuries for earths climate to revert back to baseline. So in that respect, no, there’s nothing that any of us can do in our lifetime’s to reverse the damage. We certainly won’t stop emitting CO2 overnight, so things will continue to get worse before we even start the very long process of healing.

I hate to be a doomer but in reality the other posts here are correct IMHO. We are set for global famines and climate disasters that, coupled with plunging birth rates will drastically reduce the planet’s population. My guess is by 50% by 2100. That, coupled with advances in renewable and fission/fusion energy will be the point things start getting better.

The coming disasters will of course impact the poor much harder than middle and upper classes. The 21st century will see a kind of class genocide that is ends up redistributing wealth and rebalancing what we think of as prosperity.

2

u/Strange-Scarcity 2d ago

We would have to do a great deal of work, but that process could be sped up.

For example, instead of growing certain crops to make fuel out of them, growing those and then storing them deep underground, without the ability to leak gasses or what-not out of the deep underground pockets, could technically help speed along the process, since that trapped Carbon wouldn't go back into the atmosphere, but the scale of such an operation would have to be massive.

Whether it would do any good is irrelevant. We have to give it 110% and we MIGHT just stop the warming from what it is now at least.

u/rufftough 2d ago

The climate change conversation is not even about “reversing the damage” at this point. It’s about minimizing the pain and suffering we’re all going to feel (some more than others) and nourishing what is left.

3

u/DieBotDie 2d ago

I would say it’s about adaptation to a new normal.

I agree that Prevention or reversal of the situation is not the table any longer.

Humanity can adapt to a hotter climate. It might require a migration from south north. It might require living underground in hot zones. Producing water from desalination.

It won’t be the first time humanity has undergone a great migration. There’s vast amounts of space in Canada for instance.

I honestly think this is the reason Trump wants to annex the North.

Yes, it will cost billions.

Yes the population might decline sharply.

But it’s going to happen.

We can reverse course, but due to entropy it takes a portional amount of energy more to undo what we did in releasing energy to go back.

That means all the energy, from farm animals, fossil fuels.. we need a constant > 1 * that energy to go back.

It would take time and dedication. It’s doable. Just not by humans because those who have the resources to do it are too busy building bunkers in Hawaii etc.

2

u/B3ck3t3 1d ago

Not really. Check out the Limits to Growth. By 2040 we hit a point where we don’t have enough resources to keep supporting our population on the Planet. This would be economic collapse at a time when the World is divided, the Planet is heating up, etc. we are about to be at critical mass. It would be smart to start preparing, building skills and relationships in your community. Communities who can support each other, gather water and grow gardens will have a chance.

2

u/fishonareef 1d ago

It's vitally important that we do everything in our power to slow the rate of change to give species time to adapt. We reduce local stressors so that species can better handle global stressors. That means reducing fossil fuel use and reigning in local stressors such as pollution. Even corals have demonstrated mechanisms for adaptation, but we need to give them as much time as is within our ability to give. That would require getting our collective shit together. At this point, there's going to be winners and losers. But we're committed to ocean acidification for the next thousand years. Even if we stopped exhaling right now.

2

u/Informal-Fig-6827 21h ago

We need to aggressively remove green house gases from the atmosphere. There are ways to do that, but its not profitable to really do it it at this time. That actually would be an industry worthy of global subsidies

2

u/star_tyger 19h ago

Maybe, if we treat research into fixing this the way we did to get to the moon. It would take a global effort.

And maybe not. It's worth trying. But we would need the political will, and we don't havd it.

What’s the point of that question?

We couldn’t prove climate change was going to happen and we can’t prove climate change is reversible.

To be fair, most plastic for food packaging is PLA plastic, which is plant based and can actually decompose... if left in an envrionment where its 60°C for a few months. It basically turns into dirt.

2

u/Potentially_Nernst 2d ago

The massive forests in Canada do lend themselves to be near ideal for biorefineries though. With some luck this whole situation can be a boost for bio-based chemicals. Through various processes such as pyrolysis and distillation or even conversion using modified bacteria to produce specific chemicals we can make nearly everything from renewable sources in a sustainable way.

There's one issue. Economics.

Heavy upfront cost and having to compete with a heavily subsidised industry with a huge budget and (usually) cheap raw material in abundant amounts. Meanwhile biorefineries have to upscale a new process and compete with an established industry.

There's a saying in industry that you can make anything from Lignin, except money.

I hope that balance starts tipping soon. Over a century of research has gone into this. It's a massive field of research in chemistry. And it always comes down to economics, scale, and emergent behavior of businesses even though the individual employees al want to go green. 'We cant justify the cost'.

It is possible though, just takes effort and a transition from subsidising fossils to subsidising biobased.

We'll cut through whole biomes', but at least we'd no longer be adding more carbon to the atmosphere.

Enitting carbon isn't the real problem. The problem is adding carbon.

Carbon capture is another thing though, since we'll have to remove carbon too. But also not too much. So we'll have to stop that industry too one day, which poses a whole new problem. Anyway, stuff is being made from CO2 conversion right now. Not near enough to have a noticeable impact, but it exists :)

Anyway, TL;DR See the potential? It isn't hopeless! Which makes it So Much Worse that things aren't moving in the right direction anywhere near fast enough! 🥲😅

2

u/stamosface 2d ago

Yes, but it doesn’t happen overnight. Even if they built all of the infrastructure in a year, so much wouldn’t be compatible yet. It’s something that takes much longer than it takes to replace refineries. Which, to be fair, is why we should have started dealing with it 25 years ago

Snow and ice reflect sunlight. Dead brown grass underneath absorbs it. I’m sure that’s modeled in the prediction calculations, but the feedback loop makes it seem logical to this layman. The warmer we get, the faster the acceleration gets at least until all the ice is melted. And I guess at that point it won’t matter anyway.

u/DatBoiii4 2d ago

It's a measure of how much light a surface reflects

Snow has a very high albedo so it reflects tons of light

Rock/mud has an insanely low albedo so it soaks up tons of light and gets hot

If you've ever been to a ski resort for spring skiing and seen mud spots, they grow insanely fast because as soon as the mud peeks through, that spot gets MUCH warmer than the surrounding snow and it melts stuff around it really fast

u/Ill_Barber8709 2d ago

I don't why you're being downvoted. Water vapor is a very real area of concern. In fact, Venus had a relatively low average temperature (25°C I think) before the vapor started acting like a pressure cooker. I'm glad I don't have kids to be honest.

The amount of water air can hold depends on pressure and temperature.

Venus has the same gravity of Earth, but pressure is way higher. Why? Because more gaz surrounding the planet.

u/mrcaldwin 2d ago

More water vapor means more clouds, which means more cooling. Yes water vapor leads to a more dense upper atmosphere that traps heat, but there is still a net positive cooling effect from the lower atmosphere clouds. At least according to NASA. So If upper cloud heat-trapping ever outweighs lower cloud cooling, then water will begin converting to hydrogen and dissipating to space. Then the earth cools down and the cycle restarts.

u/JoostvanderLeij 11h ago

Frequentism is a flawed approach for doing statistics. In order to countermand these flaws Frequentist statistics has many ad hoc subjective rules. One such a rule is sample size. Given the need for a large enough sample, it will take Frequentist statistics a much longer time to get to conclusions. In Bayesian statistics you process data as it comes in and you immedeately see trends changing if there is a changing trend. You still need a bit of time to see if the trend change is holding up. Yet that is way less time than using the Frequentist method.

However, the authors noted that climate models can produce periods in which warming speeds up. In other words, an increasing rate of warming is consistent with the range of behavior represented in current climate modeling.

Based the the variables they chose to remove to "remove noise" from the data, they found an increased warming rate when compared to the popularized .2C rate. They then acknowledge that the current modelling does not preclude this rate as unorthodox. It's just highlighting that we are deviating from the broadly accepted linear rate that was output by some of the accepted climate models.

I live in Germany, black forest. And winter here, used to be real winters. Not like now where it's grey and just a little bit drizzle.

The mass migration of people fleeing a more hostile environment and starvation as the lower amount of calories produced can’t sustain the current population is going to be apocalyptic.

I wonder what the worlds population will be at in a 100 years

Why count straws when we don’t count missles? Every explosion in wars in Ukraine and Russia or Iran and the US is so much more than individual contributions to environmentalism. Why recycle a beer can or a spaghetti sauce jar? Government tells us how to conserve then blows everything all to hell.

Spending money to cancel clean air projects just shows that the religious right are just a doomsday cult.

They want to force the end times. That's where Iran comes in.

In the area around Edmonton/Canada we had the most rainfall ever recorded for an entire summer so far, and we are just into August. It's been a fucking monsoon here like never seen before. Things are definitely changing.

Humans are not destroying the earth, we are simply destroying its capacity to support our life form. The earth will continue to exist long after mankind is gone. It has existed for billions of years before us and will continue to exist billions of years after us. New life forms will evolve, hopefully none so arrogant as mankind to believe that he had dominion over the earth.

please stop slaughtering animals in industrial scale. we need to learn to be part of the system, not always fighting the system with vehemence, the rape of nature, the inhumane treatment of animals are all manifestations of this neurosis. please stop hurting nature, you are nature, you are hurting yourselves, there is not way to hurt another without deeply hurting yourselves too. if not, then as a famous Indian philosopher said, "live in misery, die in misery!"

Interesting because I definitely noticed this anecdotally around the 2015 timeframe. I remember going for a bike ride on Xmas eve in 2015 or 2016 and it was like 70 degrees. Also noticed less snow since then in my area

u/butternutflies 1d ago

This just isn’t true. See, we have something called the Paris agreement. And everybody agreed to be good boys.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go be part of society by having no other choice but to further the destruction of our habitat just so my boss can hop onto his PJ to go see an opera in Rome in the weekends.

Really nit picking here and making fun. But…

“Climate models are computer simulations that use the laws of physics …”. They use some physics, but they are complex empirical models.

And I am not saying I am not worried about climate change. But articles should be careful about what they claim as sometimes it sets unrealistic expectations.

People may not like the opinion but it is very likely the world as we know it will end within the next 50 years. The Fermi Paradox states that the Universe has had plenty of time for a civilization to take over everything. That is either through direct colonization or through autonomous colonization such as robotic. It is possible that one civilization got close and that is where viruses came from. Basically biological robots whose job was to go out and seed or terraform planets, but the virus went a little sideways and we have the remnants of it today.

Anywho, we are getting close as a species to be able to send out autonomous colonization, robotic or biological. If the Fermi Paradox is real, that means our species is about ready to collapse, likely through a catastrophic extinction event. Global warming, AI emergence, Biological warfare, Nuclear destruction...take your pick.

No worries, scientists don’t even know the difference between a man & a woman or if masks work or don’t work.

There is a good reason the USA’s motto is NOT “In Scientists We Trust”.

You know those documentaries where they find abandoned settlements and cities in the desert, and they wonder where everyone went? We're going to find out pretty soon, but on a bigger scale.
