Just a reminder that our planet is currently the coolest it will ever be in our, and our children's lifetimes.
It's not going to get any better for anyone reading this. Have a nice weekend!

Hey now we could have a nuclear winter, don’t rule out a meteor strike either
We will probably do at least experimental forms of geoengineering the next years as well. Also those super volcanoes that should have blown up couple hundred years ago will hide the sun for some years once they pop. Also also, fucking with the climate (or trying to save it) could become some kind of climate warfare in the near future as well I guess. Good times ahead!
Such a shame we have to keep increasing emissions, or maybe this coukd have helped.
I too have seen Snowpiercer.
Don't forget the AMOC shutting down and sending most of Europe spiralling into the opposite problem as the rest of the world boils!
Great, another one to stress about!
Supervolcano is also an option!

If only the sensationalist headlines would get into the really cool science of geology/magma mechanics, I would have been so much happier in school.
Hey don't forget flood basalts from all the shifting mass as ice melts. Those are real benders in both climactic directions depending on the composition. We have no idea how those actually start and the timelines involved, just theories and speculation.
in 1995, so they wrote it in 1994
I think that was more a jab at the overall terrible state of the American public education system, but your point stands regardless.
i''m still standing by "the simpsons predicted it"
Where do you think today's problems come from? Bad education makes a generation of ignorant, functionally illiterate, warmongering subjects.
Technically, we could all collectively decide we have had enough. We won't, but we could.
I'm not even sure that's enough. Some tipping points are already reached and the CO2 that's already in the atmosphere won't magically disappear because we don't add more.
Keep that in mind when you hear that the emission is still rising exponential
Yeah, we not only have to reach net-0, which is a pipe dream with the current leadership / collective will, but we'll need to figure out some method of carbon capture that can actually be net-negative AND deploy it on scales far beyond any sort of "carbon capture" that has been planned, whether their number were sane or just hype to get some of the "pork barrel spending".
I suggest making sure you have an "exit plan" for when it get worse than you'd like, which I expect to be in my lifetime. There are more violent, revolutionary, or both approaches, but I won't mention them explicitly.
Even if we replaced all energy production "magically" with solar/wind/tidal, we'll still have to keep extracting oil to make plastic!
If you're going to take an "exit plan" there are a lotnof revolutionary ways to go about it
Sorry, maybe I was ambiguous. The violent/revolutionary approaches would be to achieve some sort of climate recovery, which might obviate needing an "exit plan".
Yeah but most climate scientists say every little bit helps, so if we could just do a lot of bits maybe we won't all have to die.
So, every little bit might help, if we are not already dead.
But if we aren't willing to end capitalism and exterminate the scum who did this, and can not will not stop, nothing matters for shit.
Like putting a hand aid on a bisection wound with intestines leaking out.
People's initiative? We have the tools. Let's start.
True, I didn't want to sound as a doomer. Every little bit helps in the sense of harm reduction. This isn't black or white. Actually white is long over. It's dark gray or black and I'm willing to fight for dark gray.

Return to monke
Nope, we are in summer here, I guarantee it will be colder in the winter
Sir, this is a shitpost
No sir, that is clearly a comment, sir
Thanks for clarifizifizilication
They said "our planet is currently the coolest", not your local temperature.
They absolutely did, but they posted it in a shitpost community
That's true, but you're spouting the usual climate change denialist argument.
I am making a joke, not an argument.
This is a a shitposting community, stop taking it so seriously.
This is also just a meme, sure a meme that is accurate, but a meme none the less, it is not an article about climate change (which I have never held any doubt is real), if it had been and been posted in a serious community, I would not have made this joke.
Dude... no
What about winter? Checkmate libz
I mean all seriousness aside, that photo is pretty fucking cool
Not if we are just preparing for nuclear winter.
I've lived before this when it was cooler, and that's still part of my lifetime.
Span maybe, that's a more future looking term.
On average. 1.5 degrees hotter, every square inch of earth, every second of the day. But some areas will become cooler than we knew them up to now, when ocean currents break down.
Lol. "Children"
Not having children is great for the environment.
Judging by how much they scream on the topic, it's great at fighting capitalists as well! Though to be fair, screaming kids are great at fighting those as well...
BC is the new California. California is the new hell.
So cool. Fuck yeah
From now going into the future, yes. 10 years ago it was colder.
So when do we unlock Mad Max biome?
I'm so torn on whether to upvote this.
I'm vegetarian, cycle when I can, use public transport, recycle everything, and donate money to nature charities.
You?
Let me guess climate change or somebody lighting a cigarette?
I think a few people got wooshed on this one 🤣

The Earth was likely headed back towards another ice age before anthropogenic climate change took hold. So no, every year would not have been the “warmest” if humans didn’t exist.
