Re: Earth likely briefly passed critical warming threshold on Friday and Saturday
#12Maybe we can get off our but(t)s and start restoring wetlands like our lives depend upon it. (Ah, hark, I hear crickets chirping.)
Farmer here. Planted about 1,000 native trees this year in our home-grown revegetation project, and going to spend the next 2 years making sure as many of them as possible don't die.
No govt subsidies or anything. Our own $ and our own work. Nobody will do it, nobody will pay to do it, so we do.

You would think that this is exactly the kind of project that carbon offsets should fund…

Thank you, "God bless you" as they say in the Deep South where I grew up.
Please consider making part of it a wetlands.
Forests cover about 10 percent of the planet and store about 15 percent of stored carbon.
Peatlands cover about 3 percent of the planet and store an estimated 25 or 30 percent of carbon.
We've lost 85 of global wetlands since the 1700s. Restoring them could dramatically increase the amount of stored carbon.

#15Welp. Time for a conference we all fly to using private jets to tell the plebs how it's their doing that's destroying the planet. Maybe agree on a tax or something that screws over the little guy while having absolutely no effect on the global climate.

#16It’s not critical, it’s arbitrary. The earth is warming, it’s going to keep warming. What we should do is focus on practical responses to both limit future warming and handle the consequences of where we’re heading.
The moralizing and doom don’t really help anybody.

In some areas the climate change is creating too much “wetland” which poses a different set of issues. We’ve had record amounts of rain here in Denmark, and the local farmers should probably look into farming rice, or maybe seaweed, if it continues. Which it probably will since the records we broke were set in 2019, which in term broke records set one of the years before that and so on. Looking at the graphs, however…
> Looking at the graphs, however, we should go back to covid society, well, without all the dying.
With the dying you save the environment way faster. "We should go back to covid society" just means let's all be ascetic monks. There's too many people in the world. We don't need more wetlands or this or that, we just need to understand that a population that grows without limits always destroys itself, that's all.
What's the point of a planet with billions of people if their lives suck and they have to stay home using their CO2 quotas? Much better to have less people living normally.

It's also time to greenwash some money to warm up our image.... I mean... it's time to invest in some corporations that promise to fix climate through elaborate yet ineffective means.
... or if that not helps maybe it is time to destroy some more Van Gogh paintings or something.

What?
It's critical, so let's focus on practical responses to both limit future warming and handle the consequences of where we’re heading.
A lot of people over-dramatise the situation, but we should be afraid to use words like "critical" when they make sense.

Your point being?
It's close to 20C here when it should be 10.
