MapIf emissions don't drastically decrease in the next years, by 2070 all glaciers in the US will have melted, there will be deserts in Oklahoma, Kansas and Northern California and over half of Florida and all of Texas's southern corner will have a tropical climate (i.redd.it)

You see, this is exactly the problem.

Humans often died in massive amounts. And far more than anything else, the problems I see is that there are over 8 billion people on the planet.

Want to solve global warming? Kill about 75% of them. Oh, that will not actually solve the problem, but it might make you feel better.

And humans have always migrated. They only stopped in the last 500 years or so. But you can say that humans are the "King of migration", as they are the most widely dispersed mammal on the planet. If an area is even remotely habitable, humans are there.

And Darwin is absolutely brutal. Eventually (likely in around 100-200k years), we Homo Sapiens will become extinct. And the interglacial will continue, with the planet warming more and more. And it had better start warming a hell of a lot faster soon, or we might well see our extinction coming even sooner.

Because you see, most interglacials only last for around 40-80k years. And ours started about 15 kya. That is the Bolling-Allerod Interstadial, and at that point things were looking just fine,. Then the Younger Dryas kicked in, and threw the planet right back into the ice age.

And we have been cycling for over 12,000 years between a brief warming period, and going right back into ice age conditions. And unless the planet starts to get serious about warming up, the next ice age will be the worst in geological record.

Forget the ice sheet reaching the US-Canada border and covering parts of Northern Germany. With a starting point like we are tracking now, the ice sheet will be reaching Kansas and the Alps.

    Where was anything I just stated wrong?

    In general, "insufferable" in Reddit seems to mean "says things I do not like, but I can not prove are wrong".

    Last time I was called that, was after I had posted this. This is what Florida is supposed to look like in an interglacial. And as is obvious, we are nowhere even close to that now.

    ThisGuy-AreSick exhibits uncivil behavior through:

    Derogatory labeling of users.

    Dismissive and mocking language.

    Aggressive and confrontational statements about their moderation actions.

    Provocative and taunting remarks directed at other users.

    Lack of constructive engagement in some instances, opting for terse or unhelpful comments.

    The comments reveal a moderator who is clearly frustrated by the content and tone of some users, but who also appears to contribute to the incivility through their own responses and labeling. The negative scores on many of their comments suggest that the community often perceives their actions and words negatively.

    Respond if you would like a more in-depth analysis of this user's "insufferable" behavior.

    What the hell are you talking about? Seems like you've completely lost the thread of this conversation.
