Man, oceanographers have been shouting this for decades. And let’s just throw marine biologists/marine chemists in there as well. Ocean currents are stupidly powerful, to have them stop is scary beyond comparison. The warning temperature lifting the calcium carbonate compensation depth, literally acidifying the ocean past the point of habitability for everything but jelly fish… Good bye oxygen. It was fun hanging with y’all, break out the good stuff because you aren’t handing it down to the next generation.

Parents often say that they love their children and would do anything for them, but they didn’t love them enough to give their children a habitable future.
My mum owns a house and everytime they try to build housing around me she tries her best to prevent it.
Kinda miss having my grandparents generation around because they tried and did make the country a better place for their children. They also knew how hard things were (obviously it was way worse for them than for me).
If there was something they could do as an individual which would help only their individual child have a habitable future, they would absolutely do it.
Thing is, everything they can do either only works if we all do it or only helps every child equally (a tiiiny bit) while costing the parent individually.
It’s a coordination problem. Humans lack the structures to coordinate as a species (the largest unit of coordination we have is a nation and even that doesn’t work well).
Yeah it isn’t fair that i punch everyone equally because climate change is everybody’s problem.
The least they can do as a parent is tell their children to reduce, reuse and recycle, Using public transportation or cycling to go everywhere, turn off the lights or electronics when they’re not using it. It’s a small thing but if everyone does it slowly earth can be a better place.
If we teach our child to do good for the environment our child can teach their children to do more good and before you know it it becomes a generational effort.
I know, it’s the least they can do. It’s like the parents abuse chain if we can educate the next generation to do better while we try the best we can do to fix.
You bought into corporate propaganda that individuals are responsible for climate change and not the top 100 polluting corporations.
Hook line and sinker.
There is absolutely fucking nothing that recycling does to stop this. Most of the developed worlds “recycling” gets shipped to third world nations who dump it in landfill or the ocean.
Are you a boomer or were you raised by a boomer because I call bullshit. The “me” generation could have done a lot of things and didn’t do any of them.
Most of them don’t actually love their children. Not the way we mean it today. The children were left to figure it all out on their own. Ask any gen X or older millennial.
Children weren’t outside because people were less fearful, they were locked out of the house and forced to fend for themselves.
The only loving families for most were those portrayed in television.

“lifting the calcium carbonate compensation depth”
Wouldn’t increased CaCO3 dissolution increase pH? I’m surely misunderstanding you — presumptively there’s less compensation allowing more CO2 / carbonic acid?
I’m out of my depth…

I don’t think that’s fair.

none of that would have ever made any difference. the scale of industrys vs individuals is staggering.

“What I do won’t matter” said by every individual is exactly how nothing changes.
Sure the ocean won’t suffer for the loss of a few individual drops of water. But if there are no drops of water at all, there is no ocean.
We are all drops.
