Willful blindness packaged as cleverness won't save you. Climate models show that we only have about 10-15 more years before complete climate collapse. Welcome to the anthropocene.

> Climate models show that we only have about 10-15 more years before complete climate collapse. and here i am, waking up every day putting on my stupid pants and my stupid hoodie and meandering to my stupid laptop to make stupid little websites. like normally i'm just going with the flow with this knowledge that the future is gonna suck but somedays like today it hits harder than it usually does when i see it written out this way

  Don't fret. 'Scientists' (politicians that pretend to be scientists?) have been making this 'climate emergency' claim for generations now. It's all click-bait fearmongering.

    oh you're one of those climate deniers. nothing you say is valid or worth listening to.

      If I was losing the argument, I'd say something similar.

At the risk of excessive snark, are those the same models that predicted the ice caps melting in the 90s? Speaking purely historically, climate models and scientists predicting global catastrophe has happened multiple times, actual global catastrophe has not. Were this issue not highly politicized, I could openly question the implications of kind of failures without qualification :/

  You might want to check the news. The arctic has melted, temperatures have topped 100 degrees. The sea ice, where still present, is less than an inch thick. Commercial shipping is happening in winter without the aid of icebreaking ships. The Polar Vortex has gotten completely destabilized, sending the Jet Stream careening deep into southern latitudes (which is why Texas froze). This is ecological doom knocking at our door. There are multiple, overlapping positive feedback loops occurring. You really should be paying attention and not just smugly pretending that you can "own the libs".

    See, that last insult is exactly what I was hoping to avoid. "Hey, this particular field of endeavor has a poor track record of making bad predictions of doom" is a verifiable fact, and you just turned it into partisan shit-flinging. Nobody's attempting to own anyone here, but thanks for lowering the standard of discourse substantially. >Temperatures have topped 100 at the North Pole No they have not. The highest temperature ever recorded was 56. Cite your sources. sep_field silently edited their post to change "North Pole" to "the arctic".

      This is annoying bickering, made only worse by the fact that you're both quoting temperatures without sources or units.
