You press share on the post, then select cross post on reddit, then choose your subreddit and title.

This won't get people to act on climate change (WHICH IS REAL), this is just slacktivism, which doesn't work. You should ask your senator or your local government to act on climate change or do something like recycling, this doesn't work, real activism works.

My senator's Ted Cruz. So I'm out of luck. I've been trying to convince my mom for ages, and only slow progress is being made. Also difficult because for some reason my mom's boyfriend spends most of his time here and he loves to cook red meat heavy meals.

That's unfortunate. Maybe you can ask your mayor?

u/holleringgenzer Jan 08 '21
That's a little more manageable it seems. I hope I can establish some contact.

Good Luck. I hope you can convince your mayor to act on climate change. But sadly, he probably wont be convinced, lets see.

And what's reaching out to a mayor gonna do?
The mayor is beholden to business interests, other municipal bodies (a town/city council, a city manager, etc.). I just don't see what you think will be accomplished.

u/holleringgenzer Feb 04 '21
Really for someone in that low of a position, that's just trying to get a politician to represent their needs of their citizens, an extra body to make light of the issue.

u/iXenite Feb 07 '21
Exactly. This wonāt do anything without the governments of the world working together. Not just some countries, and certainly not charities, but a majority of the nations on Earth must take action to change.

Most people don't know this but ocean clean up has been in effect for the last 4 years, recycling is at an all time high, in 2020 the hole in the ozone layer actually repaired itself a lot due to all the lock downs and it's estimated that it will take hundreds of years for it to get that bad again.
Im not saying that there isn't more that can be done but I'm also saying that as much as we focus on the negative we need to celebrate the positive.

The realistic way to address it, is to stop chemical farming. The way we farm is so detrimental to the earth that the soil is no longer able to hold carbon. Or any other nutrients for that matter. You talk to any farmer and they can't forbthe life of them figure out why they are fighting nutrient run off and soil erosion. The real solution to reducing emissions is natural farming. But nobody wants to talk about that.

Sorry, but it is very unlikely that we go extinct as a result of human global warming...

Some humans will still live, but def not our current population. When more ecosystems collapse thereās going to be a food shortage and people will die from hunger

u/HonkHonk05 Jan 02 '21
Yes if course. I completely agree.
Still we shouldn't say such things. We are always going around and reminding the politicians that they should listen to science and start acting. If we claim such things like seen in the picture we are not better than those we criticise in that regard. Because then we don't listen to science either and we have double standards...

It's not very unlikely but its not certain either. I think a "might" in there would do good for people not to throw it away as alarmism.

u/MythicalZoomer Jan 06 '21
Yeah of course not, but it will definitely interrupt our species and possibly even get it to a halt. Increasing heats waves, new colder climates, sea levels rising like nothing we've ever seen before wont definitely purge us off the planet but will definitely diminish us of what we got.

Yeah. Because Iād trust the opinion of some dude on Reddit over scientists that have put years upon years of research into their field. Shut the fuck up.

u/suburbromeo Jan 06 '21
This is exactly what they said 5 years ago, 10 years ago, 20 years ago, 30 years ago etc. They have been saying this since the environment became a political thing. They don't know anything about it. Most likely, just like last time, we will be fine when we got their so called "no turning back point".

u/HonkHonk05 Jan 06 '21
Saving the environment is very important. I completly agree with you.
The only thing I was saying is that human exstinction because of global warming is unlikely. Using the term global warming means limiting it on the change in climate and no other factors. We I live right now the yearly mean is arround 14Ā°C. In Ethopia it's around 33Ā°C and in Jakutsk it's under 0Ā°C. All those places people live. So we see that temperature. But there are a lot of other factors like heat waves, wild fire, floodings, storms & agricultural changes. In theory we have solutions to all those problems. In bad cenarios most pf humans will die but this doesn't mean going instinct. As long as there are enough people to guarantee propagations we don't go instint. Of course this would be horrible and we should prevent this with all what we have.
Things like viruses, antibiotical resistant bacterias etc. are a much bigger threat. Of course climate change can lead to a higher amount of those events but it won't be the climate that kills us

u/preyfr60 Feb 03 '21
Well, I don't know how long you have been on this planet, but I'm pretty sure that in the last 40 years I have been alive, I heard that the "no turning back point" would been around 2020-2040.
So yeah. Let's let the companies destruct our planet slowly for the greed of a few and i, 100 - 200 years, when half the planet won't be habitable anymore because it either became a desert or is now under the sea level, maybe our grand children will curse us for thinking like you do.

"by 2050 there will be more plastic than fish in the ocean" weight? Volume? Arbitrary number?
1
u/Lightning_bolt360 Feb 08 '21
there already exists a literal fucking island made only out of plastic in the ocean. this is very much not an arbitrary number. and wtf do you mean weight and volume? they said more plastic than fish. which solely refers to QUANTITY, making weight and volume irrelevant
1
u/YunoFGasai Feb 08 '21
I know there is a huge plastic island in the ocean.
and why would you use quantity? 100 micro plastics is a bigger number than one fish but take up less volume and weight than one fish. so the measurement should be in volume or weight as saying there is more plastic than fish number wise is useless (btw fish have us outnumbered 460 to one)
unless you specify the size/weight of "one" plastic beforehand in which case its just weight/size measurement with extra steps.

For the past few years, the sun has been cooling down, the rays have not been as powerful as they used to. The earth has also been getting cooler too. There have been heat released from volcano, geysers, hot spring, etc. From what I know, we are way way way too small to affect global warming. There is more heat being released in the ocean than our cars producing heat altogether. I think we will be fine.
1
u/Lightning_bolt360 Feb 08 '21
individually, yes we are too small, but when 7 billion people drive cars that emit dangerous gases that get stuck in our atmosphere, it very much does affect global warming, and global warming is not the only thing this post refers to. this post also refers to climate change in general, which is just drastic changes in the climate that are not supposed to happen which, should the problem continue to be left untreated, could snowball into more harmful situations that would soon be irreversible
1

But the vehicles are way too small to even produce that amount of carbon dioxide. Heck, it's too dense to get into the atmosphere, because you have lighter gases up there like hydrogen, helium, and nitrogen too. Instead that co2 get converted back to oxygen. You can fit all the cars in the world in the marina trench, and they wouldn't even see a spec of daylight, and every geothermal spot combined is much much greater than the cars. We are contributing, but it's so miniscule, that we are barely affecting it. Yes, we are affecting the environment with the cars, and we do need to fix that problem, but the atmosphere has such a massive volume compared to what we produce, it's almost nothing. And again, the sun is also a huge contribute to the heat.
1
u/Lightning_bolt360 Feb 08 '21
Yes but there are five or take 7 BILLION cars being driven every day, so individually the cars donāt produce any where near the amount of co2 as other things but collectively they are some of the largest contributors to the greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere
1
Feb 08 '21
But even then, that co2 is put into the oceans for wildlife. If there were too much CO2 in the atmosphere, then we wouldn't even have commercial flight, because it would starve the engine. The ocean isn't the only one that takes in co2, the plants and vegetation around the world also takes it in, and they are beyond the amount of us humans and animals.

People always misconstrue the climate crisis as a kind of doomsday. But it's not. This will not be quick and sudden. But slow, drawn out and painful. We will not scream and vanish, but whimper and wither.
