Listen, NOTHING will be done, you know it I know it, no matter how much bad news there is nothing will be done, people will be looking back on this 20 years from now when it is too late
Too late. That curve shows the rate of change is accelerating, and it looks exponential, so its going to get much worse - and faster than it has in recent decades - even if we stopped burning all fossil-fuels tomorrow.
In 1958 there were 2,871,952,278
NOW 7,714,576,923
That is an increase of 4,842,624,645
The planet can not sustain the rise in population. FOOD alone
The average human exhales about 2.3 pounds of carbon dioxide on an average day.
Exactly. Honestly people are kinda stupid and you've hit the ball on the head with this one. I do wonder about the forum's opinion on climate change. People seem unable to sepparate 'record co2 levels' with 'were all gonna die! argh!'. 1) there is plenty of evidence for the former but they use this as 'evidence' for the latter, and there is none.
I remind everyone that this should be a discussion free of politics, and misrepresentation. The data presented in the opening post is fact. Most of those people alive in 1958 are likely long gone and had no way of knowing what was brewing for their descendents. At some point it has to be taken seriously. We can't just all breath less.
While they allow tractor pulling (five supercharged motors employed to drag an ever increasing load down a course) and places like Las Vegas use greedy ammounts of power to add to light polution..and the various racing etc...I cant see the point in wringing our hands as while that mentality exists there really is no hope. Humans just need to be a little less hypocritical for a start.
And I dont see a solution coming via a tax or NP.
And this fixation upon carbon seems to ignore the other green house gas...mmm like methane or just simple water vapour.
It seems a bit like a chicken little story in so many respects.
Heck if the problem is so bad why is nothing being done other than push energy alternatives.

Democracies are totally unable to do what what must be done for the benefit of all when the available options are unpalatable to some, and there’s is no option acceptable to all.
IMHO ultimately climate change will be solved by famines, disease or wars - not democracies.
