Three of my family members had babies in the last 12 months. My family thinks I'm being dramatic when I start talking about climate change.

Our society is not known for thoughtfulness.

Ah cool, how do you do fellow sibling?

So you're creating more CO²? Shame on you!

[-] iknowitwheniseeit@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 1 month ago

Will you please explain this?

I feel like I understand each sentence but not why you put them together.

[-] mayo@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

babies born into bleak future by humans who forgot to consider whether or not it's in the best interest of anyone but themselves

[-] isaaclw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

Also having lots of children is probably the single biggest carbon impact, since youre multiplying your own consuption.

I wont say "dont have any children and let society collapse" but Im also feeling pretty negative about all this tbh.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

People will be having babies regardless. If you want to advocate for them to stop, you aren't going to convince anyone.

I think the whole messaging of CS in degree is kinda misleading. What helped me grasp the concept was to understand that it’s not about average temperature rise but that the climate has more „energy“ in general. Storms that were once a decade are now yearly occurrences etc. the climate is changing, it’s not just getting warmer

[-] illi@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

That's why the whole thing got "rebranded" from global warming to climate change

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

iirc yeah. they noticed winters and tropical storms were getting more extreme too, not just heatwaves. op's way of understanding it really does click.

[-] Soluna@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 1 month ago

What is CS in this context?

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 18 points 1 month ago

Climate Science.

The temp gauge on your car s iintended to be in the middle. If it goes up to not quite red, do you pull over? Or rev the fuck out of the engine until it blows up?

America revs that bitch relentlessly news at nine.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

To be fair the gauge on my car stays in the same spot all the time, I think it only has 3 positions lol. I need an app connected to the Obd port to actually read the temp.

My oil pressure gauge has two positions - either there's oil or there isn't lol

[-] FantasmaNaCasca@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Something something Schrodinger Oil.

[-] Wogi@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

Your oil gauge really shouldn't be moving a whole lot. That's a feature, not a bug. The information you need is too cold, too hot, or just right. Knowing the exact temperature might obfuscate the important data. 99.9999% of the time, your oil temperature is within operating temperatures. You really only need to know when it isn't.

Kind of the same thing for oil pressure, you either have enough, or you don't. There's no need to buy a quart of oil just to throw half of it in the car. That warning comes early, it's "you need to go get oil in the car you're currently driving, make that the next thing you do." Not "you're out of oil pull over."

If you ever see an externally mounted oil reservoir, it will have two lines. One near the top, and one a ways from the bottom for max and minimum fills. If the machine that's connected to has a sensor, it goes off well before that minimum fill line, and that minimum fill line leaves enough oil in the reservoir to lubricate everything it's lubricating multiple times over before it runs dry.

[-] Maalus@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It doesn't move at all, it's a known thing with the car. No need to carsplain, I swap my own engines :d

[-] desktop_user@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 month ago

obviously it can be stable at almost red, which is a sign that it should continue being abused.

[-] Snowcano@startrek.website 16 points 1 month ago

Snowy has the right idea in this picture.

[-] FossilVerbrechen@lemm.ee 17 points 1 month ago

very soon. It will hit hard. 1.5 degrees is when the tipping points start to tip.

To be honest. I did climate activism the last two years until I had a burnout. I do not believe that we can stop it anymore and I think we should start prepping in a sense of building strong communities and practacing solidartiy. While we should still try to stop it we should also try to live in solidarity in this crisis

[-] rekabis@lemmy.ca 22 points 1 month ago

1.5 degrees is when the tipping points start to tip.

Fun fact: the planet has been at +1.5℃ for the last 14 months.

The reason why we aren’t officially at +1.5℃ is because the official designation is a political one, which requires some insanely long time at +1.5℃ - usually on the order of 8-20 years, depending on the org - before it can be said that we have “breached +1.5℃”.

Politicians are morons in the pockets of the Parasite Class.

Oh is that related to the sudden jump in ocean temperature?

[-] cabb@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yep, water takes a lot of heat to make it go in temperature so any change in ocean temps has a large impact on the global average temperature.

[-] FossilVerbrechen@lemm.ee 2 points 1 month ago

yep. I just knew that germany is over 1.5 for a year or so. but yeah

[-] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 1 month ago

we cannot stop it but we can still prevent doom scenarios (>3 degrees) by both mitigation and adaptation to the effects of climate change

[-] RubberElectrons@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Gonna be a long, hard boat ride.

[-] FossilVerbrechen@lemm.ee 3 points 1 month ago

It's unpossible, is what it is.

[-] devfuuu@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

The time of our lifes. It can only get worse and I'm here to watch it all burn.

[-] umbrella@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

more like burning along with it. i dont think many people are getting away with just watching it.
