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.

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.

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

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 5 points 8 hours ago

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

What is CS in this context?

[–] rekabis@lemmy.ca 7 points 14 hours ago

Climate Science.

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

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 1 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours 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.

[–] stebo02@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

Gonna be a long, hard boat ride.

That show on Discovery channel about people moving to Alaska was visionary.
