Is it too late to do anything about the Climate Change?

I recall Donald Trump saying that. This man is a Reality TV star, right?

I think he likes to create drama and be at the center of it. People will cheer for him in these situations.

If he actually meant that then I will be genuinely surprised.

As noted by the three people above me, it's a distinction without difference, as it had the same damaging outcome.

He said it, millions of his cult cheered and the politicians who get elected by those same people heard "we don't need to worry about climate change".

Trump's admin promoted coal, even though it's a dying industry, rolled back vehicle MPG standards, the list goes on: Trump Administration Rolled Back More Than 100 Environmental Rules. Here’s the Full List.

He didn't even need Wisconsin or Michigan.

UK hit over 40°c for the 1st time ever today. The relentless, unstoppable march.

It's like we don't even have to go on holiday anymore.

Lulz. Just kidding.

Can't go on holiday if the runways are melting anyway.

It's like there's some sort of change again...

Riyadh, Baghdad etc. Never melt and it gets much hotter.

Because they've built runways to take that kind of heat. When the ones where built in the UK, the engineers didn't account for Climate Change.

Which you know is fake, isn't really happening and a Chinese Hoax.

I'll admit Britain needs to do more renewable energy.

Antarctica’s ‘Doomsday Glacier’ Melting at Fastest Rate in 5,500 Years

Researchers used penguin bones and shells to track ice loss in the Thwaites and Pine Island glaciers

Two major glaciers in Antarctica may be shedding ice faster now than they have at any point in the past 5,500 years, new research suggests. The melting ice could lead to more than 11 feet of global sea level rise in the next several centuries, according to a new study published in Nature Geoscience.

“Our work suggests that these vulnerable glaciers were relatively stable during the past millennia, yet their current rate of melting is accelerating and raising global sea level,” says coauthor Dylan Rood from Imperial College London in a statement.

“These currently elevated rates of ice melting may signal that those vital arteries from the heart of West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) have burst, leading to accelerating flow into the ocean that is potentially disastrous for future global sea level in a warming world.”

Scientists studied both the Thwaites Glacier (nicknamed the “Doomsday Glacier” for the potentially devastating impacts if it melts) and the neighboring Pine Island Glacier on the western side of the continent, which are both vulnerable to melting from warm water flowing underneath them." -snip

Dont Look Up

Yup

You'll all be pleased to know that, thanks to deforestation and industrialisation, the amazon rainforest is about to reach a tipping point where the area it encompasses puts more CO2 into the atmosphere than it removes. 👍

Didn't that already happen in 2021?

Also, it's clearly a Chinese hoax.

I was pretty convinced 20+ years ago when Larsen B collapsed.

The Arctic warming is some serious sh**.

Climate deniers and our governments need to wake the f*** up.

^ Liberal pansy upset because some ice melted, Pfft!

On a serious note, the Biden admin did pass the Inflation Reduction Act today, which has climate change $$$ in it. We'll see what happens. But at least his admins isn't outright denying climate change is a real thing while actively shitting on environmental protections.

Hopefully this urges other nations to move in that direction.

"Lake Mead and Lake Powell are currently at their lowest levels ever and are at risk of reaching “dead pool status”, meaning that the water in the dams would be so low it could no longer flow downstream and power hydroelectric power stations." -snip

Nother Chinese hoax.
