Tough call. I agree with you, but I think all you can do is try to reduce your own impact, and where possible encourage others to do the same. Use the car less, fly less, pay into carbon offset schemes, support clean and renewable energy etc. If everyone did it would have a huge impact. We're a way off from that, but I think people are starting to take notice and some are making changes.

I think many of us are worried about this. But the problem is more than any one person can solve. It cuts across many spectrums of life: personal lifestyles, political, economic, etc. All we can do is keep fighting the good fight, as mentioned above, and try to vote for people and policies that support the environment.
Believe me, I'm worried too!
Why, we've even ignored the warnings and are still buying peat that comes from a resource we've quickly squandered! If there was any chance of saving the planet, it's gone now.
The Brazilian dictator has started burning down the Amazon. If this carries on, our last chance of saving the climate will be GONE.

It is indeed an enormous problem. It might even be insurmountable. All we can do is our best. And hope. And be curious.
Also I have really noticed that people are waking up to this. Even a few short years ago it wasn’t unusual to be a denier
Hope?! There is no hope, there never was! When that evil man took power, it was already too late!

Yes. Maybe human civilisation is doomed. Is that a bad thing - or just a thing?

I mean, biologically speaking, it’s quite interesting- this naked ape and what it’s done?
It's VERY bad!
Yes- sometimes I feel that. And sometimes I just feel like a alien observer.... and then it is interesting. Which helps. Because otherwise it is just unbearable
But mostly I just feel cross with us. For our stupidity.
My God, I'm having a panic attack over this!!!

If the whole planet could have a panic attack then maybe we’d have a hope?

The earth is like any living "thing". It can heal. But it will not heal because humans will not let it. It's not possible. The survival of the human race today depends on resources, transport, farming, yadda yadda. Do you know how many servers power the internet? Billions. All requiring power. What about the backup farms for the billions^billions of terrabytes of historical internet data that the NSA stores? Tremendous amounts of power. And it's only getting worse.
I keep saying this, but it's humans that have destroyed this planet and the living things on it. We're the cancer of the planet. It's in our DNA. No other living species destroys the planet like humans. What we depend on for "convenience" is eventually what will wipe out the human race. I wonder if other life forms have existed before us that wiped themselves out?

I have in the past, but that's usually a sign that my anxiety is spiking like crazy and I generally need meds to level me out again.

It's how it happened to the dinosaurs. Scientists have been baffled for years what the strange tablets found in their claws were for and it's only since Apple brought of their wares that the scientists had a big "aha" moment :winks:
I blame Fred Flintstone.
Yeah... well... Fred Flintstone would never go as far as frying the planet Earth like Bolsonario would.

Maybe not Fred but Mr Slate might of :winks:
This issue is now getting attention from world leaders. The ever press coverage grabbing Macron is raising it to be discussed ahead of the G7...which Brazil isn't in (G20) so perhaps talks will start?
It's not even new, we were taught in school about this stuff. Another price of wanting everything cheap really.
Perhaps the Americans will "manage" Bolsaonario out if they change their minds about their direction? :whistles:
There are a couple of petitions I've just signed and one is from an activist in Brazil so hopefully public pressure can be added too.
It's also been noted how the UK media were silent on this issue for weeks.
Just... Be honest with me - agree that the world is going to end in 11 years, and there's nothing we can do about it!
Load of BS where do people come up with this shite.
The Planet is f...anyway.

Please do not be a scaremonger on here.... This maybe what you believe but please do not force your opinions onto other members on here and tell them they have to agree with you.

Do you have the exact date? I want to plan a party and maybe even hire a band and a footballer to attend ;)

Why 11 years? Why so precise?

A tree surgeon has scaled Big Ben to highlight the climate crisis for XR. What? A bloke that murders trees for a living?!!! What next, a bloke that makes 4x4s? :biggrin:
These protestors are a joke. They do nothing to promote and highlight their cause.

So it's headline news then? Takes precedence over Brexit and Man United's demise?

The more significant date is mid century and the next decade is crucial to being on target for that. That's what they have said. They have not said at 2030 the world ends, it just declines from there. And it wouldn't help if we just kept on wasting and producing more carbon to flick a switch in 2030 to have halved emissions for the target. Again, Frank, catastrophizing and not correctly taking in what is being reported in the same way a doctor says 'I would like x test just to rule out y' and on here it then becomes a cancer someone has.

Quite right, Mr T. This is simply anxiety manifesting/expressing itself in a different form or context. But it's still anxiety that is not being effectively challenged and treated.

I will send over an old retired footballer and an Aussie singer,Shannon Noll.:roflmao:
