While I agree with the premise, I don’t agree with just giving up. I’ll be doing what I can to save what’s left until it’s gone and after that I’ll be trying to restore it until the oceans die and I suffocate, along with everyone else. Seeing how many other people are still driving cars and taking flights, I doubt my input will have any effect but that doesn’t matter.
That one person that is still trying to fix this shit could be the difference between annihilation and salvation. Don’t give up.
The oceans won’t dry up, the life in them (specifically phytoplankton) will die off when the water is too acidic and hot to support them. Phytoplankton produce the vast majority of the oxygen we breath and without them every oxygen breathing species on this planet will die, which obviously includes us. They are called a keystone species for a reason.
IIRC terrestrial plants only create ~20% of the worlds oxygen, and this percentage is further reduced with areas being ‘developed’. Not to mention all the land that is used for forestry and agriculture. Plants are growing faster since they can create sugars at higher rates with all the CO2, but I highly doubt it’s enough balance out the potential loss of marine ecosystems. Losing those wouldn’t only affect oxygen levels, but it would also affect any and all animals that depend on those ecosystems as a food source. Thus, plants that rely on animals for pollination or spreading seeds will eventually die off too, leaving only plants that rely on wind even further reducing oxygen production.

Okay, this one happened two days ago and I’m still freaked out about it. Sorry, it’s a bit longer, but I wanted to explain how it happened, but Tl;dr: My cat communicates as if there’s a person trapped inside of him that doesn’t speak my language....
Cat’s are certainly helluh smart (…for the most part). IIRC there was a study done that measured their brain activity when their owner called, and it proved that they certainly know their own name, so they choose not to answer when they’re called. IMO it comes down to the [mammalian?] brain, and it’s adaptability. I mean, this cat has spent his entire life around people (I’m assuming he’s an indoor cat because he’s reached such a venerable age), and has had his every need taken care of which leaves a lot of energy for other things. Thus, there’s certainly going to be some adaptations to how he communicates what he wants because he’s had all the time in his world to figure out how to tell his humans what he wants them to do.
I don’t think you should be afraid lol, it just so happens he’s one of the smarter cats in the world and as such he has a strong personality. Congratulations on having such a cool relationship with such a cool cat!
*You haven’t paid the cat tax. >:(
TL;DR - Your cat is intelligent and taken care of enough to be his own person.
IMO it would have a lot to do with parents teaching their children to “finish their meal” even if they’re full, you know, as if there’s no such thing as refrigeration.
