How arsed are you about climate change?

  1. 1. How arsed are you about climate change?

    • Very. I do everything I possibly can to be greener.
    • Arsed. I do what I have to and a bit more, as long as it doesn't hurt my pocket.
    • Think it's an issue and I do what I have to, but I'm not sweating it.
    • Climate change, schmimate change. Big conspiracy to tax us more and sell us shit we don't need.

We're fucked. Well I'm not but my kids kids will have it hard. Death is part of life, even at a species level. Life will continue, universe keeps moving. Nothing to see here.

 

Species are dying before living out their natural span. Its causing imbalance.

Right wing crackpots seem to think the heatwave in europe is some sort of global conspiracy.

As they did with covid. 

 

These people are an existential threat, they really do need to start being regarded and treated as such.

A contrarians view. (Not me, I think the planet's fucked)

It's not really contrarian - it is another stark example of extreme weather not seen before. 

 

temperatures have routinely punched through all-time record lows. Little reported, and so little discussed, entire seasons have broken historical benchmarks in recent years, such as the coreless winter (April-Sept) of 2021 which came in at a record-smashing.

And even in 2023, back in March, the Antarctic continent suffered its coldest ever reading so early into a year.

You’re assuming the right to fuck it up for every other species. You don’t have that right. So shut your cake hole and recycle your gym spandex.

I definitely think we have had a dramatic effect on climate, think that is undeniable but to pretend the planet has never before been through huge shifts in climate is a bit naive. It may well be a normal cyclical part of the the planets existence and maybe we have exacerbated it. Species come and go that is what happens. Deforestation and destruction of habitat is more likely to cause extinction of animal species.

Lots of stories on Twitter this morning from families who’ve been evacuated to other parts of Rhodes awaiting full evacuation. Common theme seems to be holiday company reps are nowhere to be seen and one guy and his three kids waded out to a fishing trawler in the dark to get off the island. Sounds grim for them.
