I used to be on board with that. Just feels more or less pointless when shit like this gets a pass.
The new world's largest cruise ship just hit the ocean — take a closer look at the gargantuan 7,600-guest vessel ahead of its 2024 debut
The up to 7,600 guests aboard the 1,198-foot-long Icon of the Seas will get to explore its eight "neighborhoods," water park, and 40 bar and restaurants.

That's nothing. Two years ago I was in Coahuila Mexico and I had to endure 45 to 48 'C for 4 months.

I do agree it is somewhat futile when big corporations and countries are burning serious amounts of shit. But it feels nice to try and do a little bit.I used to be on board with that. Just feels more or less pointless when shit like this gets a pass.

He’s talking about water temperature, not air. I’ve spent years in the tropics of Queensland, and even I’m startled by the idea of sea water that fucking hot.

No ones going to need to enforce it, unless you just want to die.

Just wait till the effects of plate tectonics really kicks in on top of man effects (of course one is a way more powerful force than the other). In fact...I would look back at temp levels on the geologic timescale - we're currently in an anomalous "cool" period in Earth's history. Whether we do it to ourselves or not, the planet will eventually claim us and that's why space exploration/colonization is necessary

This movie seems more and more ludicrous all the time.
It should be about the world burning up.

Man I sure am glad Climate Change is just a big hoax.
Otherwise the recent weather around the world would be deeply concerning and bordering on terrifying.

I'm in central Florida and it is miserably hour here. Went in the pool the other day and it a warm, didn't give relief really and I didn't want to start in it long. When we get rain it isn't necessarily a good thing, if we're don't get enough it will make things much worse with the humidity and the temps not dropping but if we do get enough it will get the temp down but your left with humidity so high it's disgusting.

I don't really understand the people that push back against the idea that we're probably in deep, deep trouble. If you ignore 99% of all scientists studying this and focus on the 1% of fringe scientists who say there's nothing to worry about, then I wonder at what point you take a look around and say "this might actually be a problem." If the crops fail, the fish die and people flee entire countries, then that would be undeniable. Is there a point before that happens where you start to change your mind?
If you were to draw a line from a safe, functioning planet to those sorts of events, would you say that seems to be the path that we're on? Because it looks that way to me.

When your politcal party or favorite influencer tells you so.
People are so damn easy to fool that you can hardly even blame the corporations for bleeding the planet dry. Like taking candy from a baby.

I’m not sure exactly because all I really remember about this movie was laughing at it the whole time and ruining it for some people who wanted to watch it seriously- but I think the idea was global warming got to the point it inverted some weather global systems or something and caused it to collapse in the other direction…like what if it got so hot it got really cold? …yeahThis movie seems more and more ludicrous all the time.

I agree, I think that we as individuals don't have enough impact to drive change through our actions. We need nations to move away from fossil fuels for it to make sense.I used to be on board with that. Just feels more or less pointless when shit like this gets a pass.

Ultimately, a number of things that people really like are going to have to change in order to avoid catastrophe, if you really like going on cruise holidays you might have to do it less, or even stop going in exchange for some of the countries that the ship takes you to being able to continue growing food, or not be swallowed by the ocean.
The problem is, I assume, a lot of really wealthy people make the decisions that count and they presumably feel that they'll be able to pay their way to safety.

yeah, I read about that too. guess it's time to start doomsday prepping.
Gulf Stream could collapse as early as 2025, study suggests
A collapse would bring catastrophic climate impacts but scientists disagree over the new analysis

We’re in completely uncharted territory folks. “Oh it got hot a long time ago too…”
Yeah, and there weren’t 8 billion humans stoking the fire and living in every corner of the globe. WWIII will probably start in large part due to climate change. But oh fucking well, not sure what I can do about it
My uncle works at Climatendo though and he says everything is fine!

I'm wondering what the fuck is going on in world leader's heads. Presumably they think they'll dodge the effects of their inaction by escaping to the grave before it gets really bad so are taking a short term view.

I think I read somewhere something like 60,000 people were estimated to have died due to Europe’s heat wave last year. As these “anomalies” become normal and the new anomalies become more severe, you can probably start multiplying that number, especially in developing countries that won’t have the infrastructure or money to adapt.
So I imagine if you’re in a wealthy country and not poor, you’ll survive and adapt. Until the nukes start flying over grain.

It's more likely that rich northern hemisphere countries will look on sadly at photos of the ravages of climate change from afar.
But then the crops will start failing and it'll be too late.
Would be my expectation.
The world is too much of a giant system for one place to be absolutely screwed by this while others go unscathed.

Nukes just mean no one eats at all, the ecological effects of those things are pretty severe. So thankfully I think there's some deterrent there.
Definitely is going to be economic and financial warfare. But technology may buy us time. We're very close to being able to grow food in a manufactured environment in any locale, making geological based agriculture less of a necessity.
Those are the things the top scientists need to be focusing all their attention on.
The water issue.... now that's gonna be harder to salvage, but I also think that's farther off.

I think water is actually easier to solve than crops. We know how to desalinate. We can also build hydroponic systems, but at the scale we’d need to support everyone? And before the crops fail? I think a lot of people without money will just end up starving first.
But hey maybe it’s just sun spots

Oh no, a lot of people are probably gonna die before we get this worked out.
Its a shame it has come to this point in the first place but thats the way of the world i guess.

No amount of human intervention can prevent the global climate from changing. But I guess giving trillions to the ones in charge will fix it, just trust them on that. It's not like the government can do anything WRONG....right? Good luck proving this increase in temperature is mostly from human emissions.yup. until this affects peoples lifes on a daily basis then nothing is going to change. where i am we've had some intense heatwaves (by our standards) and this summer has been unusually wet but everyone is still going about their life as usual. one of my co-workers asked why it was so warm and i explained why we're getting more heatwaves and all i got was "isn't that good? what's wrong with more sun??"
by the time people care it'll be too late. in fact it's already too late. even if we stopped all emissions today then it's too late as we'll be fucked for the next 50-100 years.
maybe humans deserve to go extinct. we're fucking lazy greedy selfish idiots.

If you're in an area that is impacted semi-frequently by weather events like hurricanes, now is really the best time to get a generator, batteries stock up, etc., since nobody else is thinking about it and panic buying every generator from Home Depot in 200mi radius like they will be a week before the next 'big one' is on the news.
