        Even if we made massive changes today we would still have immense suffering.

        We are fucked, the only thing we can change now is how severely we are fucked.

    They need to disclose their high tech stuff so we can finally replace petrol/diesel/kerosene and start saving the planet. I wish i could do more.

      there is no hightech stuff. The idea that some miracolous savior technology will come around is peddled to prevent the transformation away from fossil fuels and our current economy of working too much to consume too much and stay in the hamster-wheel.

      We already have the technologies and the sooner we scale them up the better. But we also need social and economic reforms, where we stop measureing society in terms of GDP and stop providing the means for uber rich individuals to get even more rich. We cannot afford the billionaires any longer and that is why they fight so much to ruin mankind as a whole, instead of providing a good lufe to everybody.

    Writing is firmly on the wall, gang. All I see is patch notes for the wars for arable land meta.

      Ha I’ve never seen the full comic before - only the first 2 panels. And I even own a “this is fine” plushie that I bought from the artist’s Kickstarter some years back

      Big words, why don’t you go ahead and show us how it’s done then? Or are you just going to chest pound from behind your monitor?

    I recently saw an article about the clouds on Uranus that seem to be missing. Scientists attribute it to the solar cycle.

    Meanwhile here on earth, nearly 19 AU closer to the sun, it’s all our fault.

    This isn’t going to convince anyone to do anything. Does anyone grasp how minor that number sounds? Especially to an American lol

    The whole movement needs to learn some marketing skills…

      Yeah, it should at least be reported in Fahrenheit. Then you can say 98.6°F is normal human temperature whereas 2.7° higher, 101.3, is an unpleasant fever. Then imagine if that fever never goes away. At 5.4° higher (the 3°C we will almost certainly hit), your brain boils.

        The problem with Fahrenheit is that literally nobody outside the US knows what it means lol

    Haven’t they heard of the american method? Don’t they know the cure for X is more X?

    We just need to add some more global warming and that will solve global warming!

    Or is that just applicable to guns and debt?

        I am so glad that garbage uses homeopathic rather than holistic these days. You want a doctor that takes a holistic approach, they’re looking at your whole body not just their specialty. Homeopathic =/= holistic.

        Hm? The homeopathic approach to climate change would be to dissolve a tree in 100,000m³ of alcohol, pour that into the ocean and wait for results.

          Homeopathic processes aim at curing by introducing a very low concentration of the disease, so effectively curing x by adding x. I think your example would make sense if it was oil or CO2 instead of a tree.

            Burning a tree also sets free a lot of CO2. :) Heating with wood is not sustainable at all, unlike some lobbyist made us beliveve.

            But yeah, oil would have been the more obvious example.

    Since I read that this isn’t an existential threat I’m feeling much more at ease, much less open to catastrophic outcomes and the narrative that we should throw our hands in the air and give up.
