As in the news today.
So what are you doing to save planet?

Do we need to build more golf courses?

The Planet is fine..it's been through this several times and it really doesn't give a damn.
It's been here for billions of years and will be here for a few billion more..

Just won't be so habitable for us humans to live on

Just some small acts by us will help

Cutting down on meat eaten is one. I tried veggie for 2 weeks , enjoyed it so much we reducing our meat intake

Is that a Bryson Dechambeau quote?

The number of humans inhabiting this rock is the problem. And that is where the solution will lie. And is the thing no one wants to address.

As mentioned. The planet will be absolutely fine. Its just a matter of how much suffering we inflict on our own, and other species.

In a few million years, humans will be long forgotten and most evidence of our existence will be gone.

Its just reality.
We don't need to save the planet..we need to save everything that lives on it...

James Lovelock told you so with his Gaia theory, and he wasn't the first.
50 years ago a book called The Population Bomb (Ehrlich) argued that there are far too many of us living as we do.
Did we listen? No. Instead the global population increased by about 3 billion and we live even more like there is no tomorrow.

The planet will be absolutely fine.

We should remember our planet is elderly and in orbit around a middle aged star which varies its output of heat.

In a few million years, humans will be long forgotten and most evidence of our existence will be gone.

Unless we find a way to escape to a parallel world.

I don't have sufficient expertise to comment properly on Climate Change, but regardless of where you stand, being "conscious of how you treat the environment and natural resources" surely just makes good sense?

 

[Kellfire]

I can’t wait to see the Facebook and YouTube videos debunking this report. Tinfoil hats at the ready.

*yawn*

Govts will change global warming, not us. Industry, where many spend the majority of the day, is the main culprit but why are we brainwashed to make a change that doesn’t even come close to what industry could do.

Neccessity will force change, legislated by govts.

I agree, there are few global problems that wouldn't be improved by a big reduction in Homo Sapiens.

Maybe we need a pandemic…?

Maybe we need a pandemic…?

Great idea ?. Or, maybe Blade Runner.

Like Mars, you mean?

Trees represent nearly all the biomass of our planet and we think they are there for our exploitation, as favoured by all political and religious parties.
This idea is completely wrong. Politicians as custodians of our planet - don't make me laugh.
Trees are there for an ecological purpose to help ensure our survival. They suck carbon out of the atmosphere from CO2 and then expel its oxygen. They cool the planet as opposed to man made structures which warm the planet. Cities are always warmer than the surrounding countryside.
It's true that trees are not the only carbon sinks. The oceans also play a big part.

An even more inconvenient truth is global population and for some reason it's never discussed in the media.
Covid itself would not have flourished had numbers been much less. The link between Covid and climate change.

An awkward truth lies still beyond. It is not Darwinian to vaccinate against a virus. It merely stores up an even bigger problem for the future.
The reason we are here today is because evolution is based upon unimaginable cruelty and suffering from the past.
It is believed that 99% of species from the past are now extinct. By our actions we are accelerating towards the demise of ourselves.

Angsty.

Might be just the problem we need to help us work together as a species....

Completely agree.

However, Industry won’t change until governments globally demand it. Governments won’t demand it until there is consensus enough among the general population that change is required. And one thing the pandemic has apparently taught us is that it is incredibly difficult to achieve a general consensus, even when the truth is widely available…..?

Are you suggesting a population makes a choice? Surely it’s the media moguls who choose to share their opinions…
Just enjoy life eat more veggies grow some trees and refuse to commute to pointless offices..
