I'm quite optimistic about this too. Sure, we have to reduce our impact on the climate and be responsible about it, but even in the worst case scenario, I'm confident that we'll just find a way to deal with it.
The current apocalyptic scenarios we see on the medias is too extreme and pessimistic.
"If the Earth can't support seven billion people, then all seven billion of us just have to figure out a way! That's how science works!"
- rusk 5y agoWe’ve spent so long fantasising about living on inhospitable planets it’s not too much of a leap to imagine earth as one. Ala planet of the apes [spoiler alert] though, could a time traveller end up on earth in the future and mistake it for an alien planet? Could we do this with 7 billion people though? Will my children make it to this world? That’s what keeps me up at night.
- Avalaxy 5y ago> The current apocalyptic scenarios we see on the medias is too extreme and pessimistic Source? If anything, scientists have been too conservative in their warnings. Time and time again, we see that climate change is going _much_ faster than we anticipated.
- goatlover 5y agoThe models climate science is based on don't say that climate change is going much faster than expected. We're at about 1.2°C right now with with a current rate of 0.18°C per decade. This last IPCC report puts us in the expected warming range between 2.4°C and 4°C by the end of the century.
