Nor will we ever be. It would cost too much.

These brown people don't bomb themselves you know

[-] ChihuahuaOfDoom@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Exactly, we need the nextest of next gen warplanes to continually bomb the middle east well beyond the total collapse of civilization.

Will the right-wingers realise climate change exists once their houses are swept away or they otherwise experience the wrath of climate change?

[-] YurkshireLad@lemmy.ca 11 points 3 months ago

Was it climate change or god? They believe in one and not the other, so...... Would they still deny climate change and say it was god?

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 8 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

They will. They will blame the democrats though because they'll expect the government to give them money for all their damaged possessions

Don't forget, these are people who like to believe EVs are less environmentally friendly than large trucks

I mean large trucks have been on earth for FOREVER and we were FINE but now they invented EVs and now it's becoming hot ON PURPOSE. Clearly they want US to buy the cars that's why. WAKE UP.

[-] Auzy@beehaw.org 5 points 3 months ago

Don't forget. They want us in EVs so the guberment can control us

But that's a government handout. I thought they didn't like that 🤔 Isn't that socialism?

They will blame the refugees who lost their homes instead.

Oh boy they will. But it won't be like 'Oi, climate change is real, let's do something', it will be more like they always knew and didn't want the public to panic, didn't want to change the economy so the people would enjoy soy sauce for a few more years

While it’s infuriating to see millions of people denying the existence of climate change, formerly known as global warming, the fact is that we are in the 6th mass extinction, a truth that billions of people from all ideologies are afraid to face.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades: Graph of temperature as observed with significant warming, and simulated without added greenhouse gases and other anthropogentic changes, which shows no significant warming

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world: IPCC AR6 Figure 2 - Thee bar charts: first chart: how much each gas has warmed the world.  About 1C of total warming.  Second chart:  about 1.5C of total warming from well-mixed greenhouse gases, offset by 0.4C of cooling from aerosols and negligible influence from changes to solar output, volcanoes, and internal variability.  Third chart: about 1.25C of warming from CO2, 0.5C from methane, and a bunch more in small quantities from other gases.  About 0.5C of cooling with large error bars from SO2.

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
