The less people - the less pollution. Everything's going the way it should, relax.
Ecofasism ☕
No, it's nature's self regulation. And every time humans intervene - the real shit happens. Just relax this time, for fucks sake.
The house is on fire and this guy is sitting in the house telling people who's trying to put the fire out to relax
You can't put out the fire. YOU are the fire.
Yikes to the max homie
You mean population reduction of poor and homeless people. The rich elites won't be dying of heat stroke.
Well, don't be poor, lol.
This is a bad take... Regions affected with mass migration, people without solid infrastructure, AC or clean water, people not able to move are in danger. They are not the ones polluting. Hypothetically you have 50% less people. Great. Think about who is still there and if pollution really is in decline then.
It'll work itself out in the end.
Adapt or die, basically.
That's how nature works.
I know, but I wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of it.
Problem is we're on our way to reach a point where even if we stopped all our GHG emissions, just the melting of the ice caps and thawing of the permafrost will be enough to create a self sustaining global warming event.
If you're talking about the Clathrate Gun hypothesis, that's no longer considered relevant for the near-future climate crisis.
It's ok. The planet right now is much cooler than it used to be.
"It's ok, the planet is cooler than it was when it would have been uninhabitable for humans."
Way to go 👍
Who cares about humans?
Maybe you should since you're one...
Well, I don't, sorry.
Literally our entire human civilization occurs during a stable climate. If the earth were hotter we'd probably never have reached 8 billion, or if we did it would have been through another way. This is going to be a rough ride, especially for the kids.
Well, if it's about the humans for you, then I have bad news for you...
Nah that's not it for me, but just that it will be the next generation whose will have it worse.
