Bread and Circuses on Nostr: This is not Planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is ...
This is not Planet Earth as we found it. The world we’ve known all our lives is vanishing in front of our eyes.
Human civilization arose and flourished over the last 10,000 years based on the certainty of a stable, predictable climate which meant consistently reliable agriculture leading to century after century of growth and allowing huge, thriving cities.
But now we're seeing what happens when we pump a TRILLION tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in only a few decades, when we heat the oceans to levels never seen in human history, and when we threaten the survival of everything that makes our lives possible.
Storms, floods, heat waves, droughts, crop failures, war, famine, mass deaths… that’s the future in a rapidly warming world.
The past is gone. Continue to hope and work for the best, but *prepare* for the worst.
