The consensus amongst experts was settled decades ago.
Also, a bit before the consensus was settled by geologists, meteorologists, geographers, and similar, biologists were already screaming, developing profound depression and trying to warn everyone.
I have to guess due to differences they noticed in terms of specific diseases, medical conditions, migration patterns, population changes and/or population distribution over time. IANABiologist though so I'm interested to hear the answer also.
We could notice something going very wrong with the rate at which species go extinct.
Extinctions are normal. Extinctions due to human settlements are higher, and not good for the local environment, but we have been modelling them for years now.
Extinction rates due to global warming? It’s a catastrophe.
That makes a lot of sense. I guess it’s just crazy to me that one of our first indications is the erasure of entire species, but it makes sense that other fields of science would need to be measured over longer timelines. Thanks for your response.
Never skip the mention that the oil companies knew about it, sponsored research about it, and circulated internal memos about how it was real and what their strategies would be to spread misinformation about it even in the 1970s.
Literally the only people who don't believe in climate change are uneducated political dupes. The people they heard it from are lying for political and financial motivation.
Im an its to late person but that does not mean don't try. Its to late to avoid the effects which is no duh as we are getting them right now. Today. The last few years really. Its obvious. But hyeah try everything you can and everyone should do that but don't expect thats going to avoid a continuance of the disasters we already are seeing.
Aerosol Masking Effect. It’s been known about for ages and it amazes me that they banned it from ship fuel. It seems incredibly short sighed to me.
Before reducing SO2 we need to stop and reduce CO2, otherwise we cook. Look at how things have escalated this year. I mean we also went straight from La Niña to El Niño too but the lack of aerosol masking has very likely had an impact.
We've all realized that politicians and corporates won't work to de-escalate/ slowdown the climate crisis, and that ordinary people on't have the power to make them do anything.
People are starting to fight back with direct action and instead of listening to us, the media fuels campaigns of hate against them and governments implement new powers to control and prevent them. We can’t win
Sometimes the messaging is so depressing it makes you wonder if that rhetoric is being pushed by special interest groups in order to reduce engagement on climate action.
It totally is. As my friend says "Despair is a commodity, don't buy it". We can turn things around, it isn't too late. It is normal to be so overwhelmed that you become apathetic and can't do anything...which has the same outcome as denial...who does that serve? The oil companies. I did an experiment and every doom and gloom article I actually followed it to the source which almost always a little different than what was being portrayed. "New study says we have passed this new threshold!" the actual study says we may pass this threshold if we don't get rid of fossil fuels, or something similar etc.
The weather hasn’t been “normal” since the start of the Industrial Revolution . We’ve known that co2 in the atmosphere is heating the planet since 1819. …jstor.org/how-19th-century-scientists-predicted-…
