We COULD have had "life as we know it", with different energy sources, different building styles & different types of transportation. Some of us have been saying this for years. It's not that much of a stretch to follow a path of logic using known scientific principals to see how pumping the quantity of burned fossil fuel emissions into the atmosphere for as long as we have would completely fuck up the planet systems and balance that is so precarious at the best of times.

The refusal of corporations to fund and develop these better forms of energy, thereby forcing anyone that participates in society to use them is causing a spiralling collapse of both human and natural systems simply by the immense amount of crap that is pumped into the atmosphere.
The average person is kept too busy, tired, distracted and broke, along with campaigns of disinformation and misinformation, to be able to effectively fight the powers that be.

NOW, thanks to the greed and complacency of humans, life will not be "as we know it" ever again. We will fight for survival with radically different systems. We will be scrambling to find livable spaces, fighting over resources, shooting each other over both of these with warfare and the decline won't take that long. Then the fight over overpopulation won't be relevant anymore because there will be a much reduced population anyway. And all the beautiful things we've created over the centuries will surely be lost along with much of the natural world. Thanks ya fuckers, it didn't have to be this way.

This year, the #Climate seems to have crossed another inflection point, most likely due to the building #ElNino. The loss of aerosol cooling from high-sulfur shipping fuel may have been masked by the persistent La Nina that is now long gone, so we're getting a double whammy. One of the next big inflection points looming in the not-too-distant future is the #BlueOceanEvent, which will probably be the nail in the coffin for western civilization. I'm curious what people's estimates are for that. #ClimateChange #GlobalWarming

What are you all gonna do with the next few years?

What else are we not talking about at government treaty gatherings until it's too late to avoid? For those of us who have a profound love for #coralreefs, this is a very sad moment during the anthropocene.

"To those who predict a #BOE in 2022:
---> We better be wrong.
--- But I afraid we aren't! ---

"#BlueOceanEvent" means we'll have less than 1 million square kilometers of #seaice left in the #Arctic Ocean (before early October)."

RT @ThomasKrantz4: Ifall jag inte missuppfattat E=MC2 så försvinner aldrig energi, den byter bara form. Så när energin inte behövs för att smälta snö och is så går energin direkt till uppvärmning. I Arktis kallas detta ögonblick #BlueOceanEvent
