The hottest day ever recorded… so far
AKA the coolest day in a long time.
The coolest day of the rest of your life. (Not quite, but I tried.)
😓
Seems like I read this same headline a few times each year. Soon, rampant heat illness/stroke is going to make the recent pandemic look like a tiny blip when it comes to human mortality data.
Need to stop China. They are making 30+% of the entire world’s carbon output and no plans to reduce that for another 7 years.
That’s more than the next 6 biggest carbon polluters combined.
Know how to stop China? Stop buying stuff made in China. All we, the west, are doing is outsourcing our carbon pollution to China.
Should the rest of the world refuse to do anything until China curbs their emissions?
Let’s be honest, we are all fucked no matter how much we work towards reducing, it’s already too late.
The real question is how hard do we want to fuck ourselves?
It’s not already too late, but it’s gonna get worse. Even if we magically went 100% renewable energy right now, we would still have all that carbon in the air.
There was going to be an initial test in Sweden on putting Sulphur dioxide in the stratosphere but public outcry made them call it off. SO2 bounces some sunlight before it gets trapped on earth. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0040609009000169 this would be a temp bandaid to buy sometime, but unless every person on earth started planting trees and making charcoal to dump back into the ground I don’t see a good way to sequester at a global scale.

Great book based on this idea.

Bro China is one of the greatest contributors to renewable energy 💀
This is fine…
Yay…
This is all just a natural earth cycle \s
Global warming is a myth, it won’t amount to a hill of beans. /s
