So less humans means that the Earth will survive longer ?
Global warming
- Thread starter mthbstr8
- Start date
the earth will survive one way or another. but humans and many other species wont because of us.
50% of all species have gone extinct since 1970.
chris hedges was saying part of the reason things like the holocaust happened is because jews didnt fight back enough / rebel. if we fail at stopping climate change, it will be because not enough of us fought back

U.S. military is the biggest polluter in history. Resisting enviro costs of war & militarism must be part of antiwar & climate justice mvts.

EPA says about 40,000,000 acres of land are contaminated by hazardous waste by the Pentagon or its contractors in the U.S. Keeping us safe.

Fido And Fluffy Are Ruining The Environment, UCLA Study Says
LOS ANGELES, CA — When it comes to global warming, Fido and Fluffy are part of the problem, a new study by UCLA indicates.
Pet ownership in the United States creates about 64 million tons of carbon dioxide a year, UCLA researchers found. That's the equivalent of driving 13.6 million cars for a year. The problem lies with the meat-filled diets of kitties and pooches, according to the study by UCLA geography professor Gregory Okin.
Dogs and cats are responsible for 25 to 30 percent of the impacts of meat production in the United States, said Orkin. Compared to a plant-based diet, meat production "requires more energy, land and water and has greater environmental consequences in terms of erosion, pesticides and waste," the study found.
And what goes in, must come out. In terms of waste, Okin noted, feeding pets also leads to about 5.1 million tons of feces every year, roughly equivalent to the total trash production of Massachusetts.
"Given the significant environmental impact of meat production, the contributions of our omnivorous and carnivorous pets deserve special attention," according to Okin's study, published in the journal PLOS ONE. "The U.S. has the largest population of pet dogs and cats globally, with an estimated 77.8 million dogs and 85.6 million cats in 2015."

Stupidity is strong in this one.
our lifestyles are more than what the planet can handle.
we ship goods 1000 of miles when they could be made locally simply to exploit cheap labor and weak regulations. we eat a ton of meat which is energy intensive to produce. we all privately own things which sit idle 99% of the time.
the worst part is probably 99% of us either do nothing or not enough to promote the world we`d like to live in. i think the word for this is narcissism.

Donald Trump Just Disbanded The National Climate Assessment Advisory Commitee
President Donald Trump and his administration’s assault on the climate science community has continued, the Washington Post reported, with the elimination of a 15-person advisory committee which helps translate federal scientific research into policy.
According to the Post, acting National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration chief Ben Friedman informed the Advisory Committee for the Sustained National Climate Assessment its charter would not be renewed after its expiration on August 20th, effectively disbanding the panel. The review committee helps take scientific findings from the National Climate Assessment—a series of federal summaries of climate data which is supposed to come out every four years—and turn that information into “concrete guidance for both public and private-sector officials.”

NOAA climate report: Hottest year, other records - CNN
Climate report: Hottest year, highest greenhouse gas marks, record sea levels
• Global land surface temperatures last year were highest in 137 years of record keeping.
• Sea surface temperatures were also at their highest.
• Sea levels were at record highs in the 24 years that satellite record keeping has been used.
• Greenhouse gas marks rose faster than any year and carbon dioxide readings were above a 400 parts per million average for the year for the first time.
