The environmental movement is doing more to address the psychological toll on activists and volunteers, encouraging resilience and self-care to counteract anxiety and grief over planetary damage.
They spool this hoax up, then virtue signal they are treating the symptoms of the disease they created!
I have to wonder what kind of lives these people lead if they’re so immersed in this ideology that they can’t function as adults. Are they employed, do they surround themselves with good relationships, is their entire existence based on social media trends? I’m far more worried about career, family, health, etc. than theoretical extinction level events.
Earth’s temperature has risen by 0.14° F (0.08° C) per decade since 1880, and the rate of warming over the past 40 years is more than twice that: 0.32° F (0.18° C) per decade since 1981.
2020 was the second-warmest year on record based on NOAA’s temperature data, and land areas were record warm.
Averaged across land and ocean, the 2020 surface temperature was 1.76° F (0.98° Celsius) warmer than the twentieth-century average of 57.0°F (13.9°C) and 2.14˚F (1.19˚C) warmer than the pre-industrial period (1880-1900).
Despite a late-year La Niña event that cooled a wide swath of the tropical Pacific Ocean, 2020 came just 0.04˚ Fahrenheit (0.02˚Celsius) shy of tying 2016 for warmest year on record.
The 10 warmest years on record have occurred since 2005.
From 1900 to 1980 a new temperature record was set on average every 13.5 years; from 1981–2019, a new record was set every 3 years.
Or …hear me out. It has already become a major problem in terms of forest fires, flooding and desertification and will become increasingly catastrophic with each passing decade.
I do, I am just not under any illusion mankind can or will solve it. Just look at the long list of far easier problems we don’t solve, like world hunger, clean drinking water, and basic medicine for all. All a fraction of the cost of addressing climate.
