“It’s 2019. Can we all now please stop saying “climate change” and instead call it what it is: climate breakdown, climate crisis, climate emergency, ecological breakdown, ecological crisis and ecological emergency?
#ClimateBreakdown #EcologicalBreakdown”
Earth’s boreal forests now burning at rate unseen in ‘at least 10,000 years’, scientists warn
“Donald Trump fails to grasp basic climate change facts”
Is a headline that is both extremely accurate AND also remains extremely accurate if you take the words “Climate Change” out of it as well
“The ice caps were going to melt, they were going to be gone by now, but now they’re setting records. They’re at a record level,” Mr Trump continued.
As for polar ice levels, data shows that they are indeed – as Mr Trump stated – at “a record level”, although not the level he had in mind. Last year Nasa reported record lows in sea ice extent in both the Arctic and the Antarctic.
Yep, sounds about right.
“They’re at a record level!”
“Yes and that’s BAD”
“But..they’re at a record level”
“Yes, the lowest on record”
“Record…level….”
America would be better off if it had elected a five year old ._;
Sorry, I’m the last anon that asked your opinion on climate change. I’m having my masters degree in environmental sciences in an Eastern European country (don’t want to reveal any more details publicly, sorry) and the info I was given comes from actual proffessors here. This was told to us by a meteorologist who teaches sustainable agriculture and gave us a lecture about the cyclic nature of climate change, to be specific.
I’m not saying climate change does not exist btw! I’m just very confused at the moment, because it seems like there are two polar opposite opinions coming from various proffessors here and I don’t know what to think lol. I do realize that business is a huge factor and companies are interested in getting the public to be on their side, but I just want to know what is actually happening. With no bullshit.
These were some of the graphs that was shown to us.
This is not my opinion, to be clear! I just want to know enough to form my own opinion on this and atm I feel like my brain is being pulled in two different directions lol.
The last picture I think is just.. Not true?
This is straight from the Global Carbon Project
Plus sunspots have nothing to do with climate change. Sunspots are caused by the magnetic field of the sun becoming ‘twisted’ as the sun is gaseous and the poles rotate at a different speed than the equator and occur in 11 year cycles. Sunspots, much like the distance of the sun to the Earth, have no impact on climate. (for example, the Earth is closest to the sun during winter in the NH, but has no effect because of Earth’s atmosphere).
Also, the first graph is a bit hard to read but it just seems to follow mass extinction events and the climate change due to them? Mass extinction events being caused by horrible things like, yknow, asteroid impacts, supervolcano eruptions, and then look at the spike happening currently. You know what hasn’t happened in a minute? A massive asteroid impact or supervolcano eruption. So what could have caused it? ((humans)).

Environmentalists cheered when Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, rode a wave of popularity to the position last fall, replacing the pro-tar sands, anti-carbon regulation Steven Harper. Now, Trudeau is preparing for his first state visit to Washington, D.C., where the Prime Minister and President Obama are set to discuss climate change and trade next week.

My old Astro prof did that
Every year he gives a huge climate change speech and it always leaves the students (sand sometimes himself) in tears
so apparently my city has a superhero. and a supervillain. who like, do activism. and. my mom. is dating the supervillain.
i live in norfolk virginia, and there’s this guy called the black widow who lives here
he does operate kind of like a real superhero, and he stops car break-ins and stuff like that! apparently he even stopped a case of domestic violence once. i don’t know if a lot of people know he exists, but he definitely seems like a nice dude, and he has a lot of articles centered around him
but. there’s also a supervillain?
this is Man Man, founder of “AdaManMantium inc.” He is both legally and occupationally a supervillain. that’s not even a joke he has actual paperwork designating himself as a supervillain. he even has a business card
Man Man is pretty obsessed with “testing” the black widow in a lot of different ways. like. man man threatened to give his (man man’s) cat to a kill shelter if the black widow didn’t solve a riddle he gave him (whether he actually did it or not i have no idea)
and he also got 35 people to donate blood once the black widow solved ANOTHER riddle which was cool, and there was also this time where he went to a gay bar and told people that if they bought drinks he’d send the equivalent of the money they spent to the westboro baptist church (but since they refused he sent them to a charity)
one of his more recent schemes included… going to the mayor of the city and trying to get him to outlaw masks.
the reason im telling this to you. is because
blocked out the private stuff but you can definitely see that its the same guy (and also him cosplaying as. Him.)
my mom has always had questionable taste in men (she had a crush on onision a while ago) but like. she’s dating an actual supervillain now which i think is fucking hysterical
Black Widow has a billboard and runs around with batons.
People shit on Tumblr - and I know I’m biased because it’s my blogging platform of choice - but where else on god’s earth do you get shit like this
Hello everyone! I am so very pleased to announce that we are now collecting funds for Dashcon 2021!
That’s right! Coming March 2021, we will be holding the second official Dashcon in Schaumburg Illinois, featuring panels such as:
Donate here to help make Dashcon the best it can be! 💜
*Masks will not be required anywhere besides the ball pit.
If this was real I would be like Michael fucking Herr all over this war crime
US climate with equivalent cities from around the world.
This is the greatest map I have ever seen. I want an interactive version where you can click on any city in the world and get a pop-up list of all the climate-equivalent cities.
so it turns out this exists and it makes a fine rabbit hole for passing the time during a conference call
