Is anyone else worried about the looming threat of climate change? Researchers say that humanity will not last into the next century with how things are now, but I think that’s an overly optimistic outlook. In reality, we probably have as little as 5-10 years before something serious happens. Thoughts?

well 2030 is when we'll hit 450ppm, models say latitudes 23...40 will lose 50-75% of their annual rainfall. Since
That's where the world's breadbaskets are, crop yields will take a huge hit.

fuck off retard

old RSS is bullshit, it was shown to be so in March 2016.
Only morons like you refer to it anymore.

And what about all of the other charts? What about the fact that the earth has already been much hotter and life is still here.

Sure. But the dinosaurs liked the heat and lived on islands. I doubt human civilisation will be so resilient. We stand at risk of losing everything our species has achieved so far.

Different priorities. Some of us play too much space engineers and some of us play too much new vegas I guess.

Oh look it's that shitty denier meme.

>Human contribution of CO2 into the atmosphere
>Ignores that natural sinks absorb more CO2 than natural sources emit, while humans don't.

>CO2 lags temperature by 800-2000 years
Of course it does, if orbital eccentricity causes insolation to increase, then warming starts the feedback loop between warming and CO2 evaporating from the oceans. The climate has never had humans dump massive amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere, thus we have never seen CO2 start to increase before temperature, until now! Do you think climatologists don't already know this? Do you not realize that without this feedback loop you cannot explain the Milankovich cycle? No of course not, you have no idea what your idiotic memes are even implying.

>The models are wrong
Actually the data is wrong. Several sources of error were discovered in the satellite techniques since 2009 and they are now much more in line with the instrumental data. To see how well the IPCC is doing I suggest you look at current updates:

http://www.realclimate.org/index.php/climate-model-projections-compared-to-observations/

>Ice core samples indicate warm periods long before the Industrial Revolution
Local samples, not indicative of a global average temperature.

And last but not least another fraudulent graph, using flawed, cherrypicked data and not even showing surface temperature.

The Earth was hotter before humans existed and no one said life will end. If I beat you up you'll probably live, does that mean it's OK if I beat you up? What if someone else was beaten up in the past?

No matter how much people talk about climate change I can't muster more than the bare minimum of actual concern.

I used to worry about this, keep myself up at night thinking about it. Joined a "climate action group" realised this fuckers aren't doing shit. Nothing short of terrorism will effective. The problem with that is the people willing to do an insurrection wouldn't know how to handle climate either. We're at the stage where it's too late to reverse, the biosphere is already dead - it just doesn't know it yet. Like a person who's been hit by high voltage and is walking around and talking, but their organs are literally cooked. The only solution that ends in a survival scenario for humans at this point is to actually ramp up industrialization on a war footing, conscript every human with skills into building life support systems and self contained farms. It won't happen. Game over for humans. It's a shame really, but I'm beyond caring anymore, I'm just numb.

>> No.11930086

I'm honestly glad. Can't wait to see people regret their decisions. Especially when people get desperate enough, even those "well off" won't be happy, they'll get targeted eventually.

I just don't think enough will be done in time sadly. I just cannot see off of humanity working together from preventing any type of climate disaster.

I thought we were talking about who is worried and who isn't. Why is a question. Questions are science. Thanks for the excuse to bump but try not to shitpost so much.
