Scientists Warn That the Earth Is Literally Dying

Carbon Dioxide Fertilization Greening Earth, Study Finds - NASA

From a quarter to half of Earth’s vegetated lands has shown significant greening over the last 35 years largely due to rising levels of atmospheric carbon

Yep.

But all of this has happened before and all of this will happen again. Change is constant. Someday, there will be a great cataclysmic event where the western part of North America will disappear under the ocean. The continents we see today in now way resemble the continents that existed in the past. Do you think these changes have ceased simply because you are here now? The earth is supposedly 4.5 billion years old. 75 years of that is fuck all.

Sure, the climate changes.
But the fact that humans evolved during a rare and fairly stable interglacial period doesn't make it smart to make that change happen suddenly and drastically.

Its like playing Russian roulette and arguing that its fine because guns go off all the time.

Scientists Warn That the Earth Is Literally Dying

Humanity has proven to be an awful steward for the planet.

Good, it will mean the end of your click bait banal postings and bloviated racist diatribe.

Yeah, we're pretty fucked. But before nuclear annihilation or some kind of dramatic climate collapse, I actually think we'll have something else: a massive economic crash.
Worse than the Great Depression. The suffering is going to be catastrophic, with global markets in complete disarray, and famine and war spreading like wildfire (which'll also be catastrophic).
We keep propping up our groaning system with as many fiscal sticks as our government can throw at it, but the whole thing is buckling. Governments are in debt up to their eyeballs, as are individuals, and global supply lines are already breaking down. Not sure if it'll start this year, ten years from now, or 25, but once the dominoes start to fall, it isn't going to be possible to stop them. Not until they've run their course.

Do you think he will post my study before the world ends?? https://terb.cc/xenforo/threads/asian-spa-targeted-in-atlanta-7-killed.741357/post-7149023

We have only 12 years

That’s what they said 12 years ago.
It’s almost like they keep moving the goalpost.

The human race may be dying, but planet earth itself will be fine, especially in the long run.

What are you on about, its the same warnings that Exxon's scientists gave them 40 years ago.

Its not easy to score unless you move the goal posts, just ask the Leafs

Regular season or playoffs?

If the Leafs ever win, that will be the surest sign of approaching doom.

 

[Phil C. McNasty]

Regular season or playoffs?

Pre-season, exhibition, regular season, and every playoff match, plus every post season award you can think of

The earth has been around for 4.5 billion years and it is not dying until the sun burns it up in about 7.5. It’s peoples safety and ideologies that are dying and being threatened and their way of life. It might not might be habitable for humans anymore but will be fine for other microorganisms and other forms of life even when it gets too hot for us. It’s funny how humans like to project their shit all the time. Delusion thanks to ideology is a powerful drug.

To solve this we need to become multi planetary...easy, right, rightttt?

I may do that, I haven't read anything but excerpts in other things since, like 1968...

Not a wise thing to go to the fossil fuel industry with it, they have been fighting the truth ever since...

They did the research, found out how bad their products were for the world and spent decades and hundreds of millions on ex-tobacco lobbyists spreading disinformation.

The human race may be dying, but planet earth itself will be fine, especially in the long run.

Homo Sapiens will not survive in a dying planet
and yet it is nearly the most adaptable species after
cockroaches and rodents. I see an involuntary population
reduction beginning near the end of the 21st century
by more than 50---70%. The surviving population will be
fine upon restoration of Earth's ecological balance.
