    Cowards? Or secretly want to follow in his footsteps, hoping they will succeed where Donald failed. And why shouldn't they? America is clearly crumbling from within, ripe for the taking - if you can take it. They're not scared, they're evil and calculating and hungry for power. It's a sickening corporate sponsered puppet show.

    We can't afford it? Then we go extinct. What is the higher price? Anyway, it's probably out of our hands by now. Like I mentioned, nature will probably choose for us, and she always takes the path of least resistance.

    It's definitely better than nothing, I'll agree, but also underwhelming from where we need to be because it makes such little difference. Most greenhouse gasses come from factory farming and the activities of corporations. We should still make these baby steps in green technology even if it's too late to change our fate, because the science of it is or could be valuable for an easier, more comfortable, or slower extinction process - as morbid as that sounds.

    Theoretically, it could make aviation almost carbon neutral due to inherent inefficiencies, but what good will that do? We need to be heavily carbon negative in order to even have a the tiniest, faintest glimmer of hope to avert our own extinction if we continue to do nothing about this problem.

    Reducing consumption is the only way to achieve this but that requires either a monumental shift in human behavior, or simply less humans. And, since we seemingly aren't making the choice, I wonder which one nature will choose for us...

    Scientists have been loudly warning us about greenhouse gasses for over 200 years. We didn't listen, still are not listening, and this is the result that has been predicted for centuries. Many more people will die, as required, all for some pieces of paper monopoly money that we just made up and pretend has value. Humanity is so special!

    Yes, I'm saying after that, literally in our final years, at the bitter end, even if we live long enough to see our sun begin to die and expand, the poles will be the only habital places on earth for a fleeting moment until we're finally extinguished.

    We are completely screwed. One reason nobody in positions of power are doing anything is because they know this, and also money. All these green initiatives are simply another handout or money grab until the end. Not that we shouldn't try or stop inventing new technology, but we must keep our expectations in line with reality as well.

    To answer your questions though, yeah, in our final years, humanity will be split between the North and South poles. Areas around the equator will be too hot to sustain human life. I wonder what our communication would look like then, being unable to physically travel between poles.

    Anyway, this endgame scenario is probably a bit past our lifetimes now, but not by much. We will get to see the beginning of the end, so to speak, probably around 2030s-2050s climate change will become extreme enough for it to be undeniable to the masses. Expect mass deaths from famine, disease, heat, drought, extreme weather, inability to grow food, etc., the usual, but worldwide.

    You can escape it for a while but eventually the entire planet will become hostile to most life as we know it. Maybe some microbes will be able to survive but not much else in the way of more complex lifeforms.

    It was an American named Eunice Foote that detailed the mechanics of the greenhouse effect, but, give or take, it was also around the same time that many scientists came to the same or similar conclusions about this subject. So yes, we've been warned for over 200 years and have done exactly nothing to solve the problem. Why? $.

    This is the most interesting thing I've ever read! It almost confirms that life spontaneously arises from self replicating RNA molecules and coevolves with parasites to create more complex interactions and more complex mutations. Their next step is for the molecules to evolve a metabolic function, which is life. Incredible read!

    In this context, it is. Reddit isn't even a tangible product, barely 18 years old. The 3rd party apps made reddit a little valuable, I'll admit, but still there is nothing on reddit that is unavailable elsewhere.

    Of course these are just my opinions I never said I was speaking for everyone, that's the point of conversing.
