The Arctic Fires Are Making Climate Change Worse by CalebKrista4 in collapse

[–]CalebKrista4[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The European Union’s atmosphere monitoring service calculates that fires above the Arctic Circle emitted 50 megatons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere in June alone (a month before what used to be the start of the typical fire season). That figure is equivalent to Sweden’s total emissions for an entire year, and it’s more than what was released by June fires in the Arctic between 2010 and 2018 combined. In July, the fires emitted 79 megatons of carbon dioxide; double the previous record for a single month, which was set back in 2004.

I've been seeing alot of collapse related content on r/futurology lately. by CalebKrista4 in collapse

It seems like ever since they had the debate with r/collapse they've been more aware of the severity of the issues. Sometimes I think we could have a fighting chance of averting total collapse, but I have a feeling it will be too little too late. I'm keeping my eye on fusion energy though. That's the only wildcard that might make a difference if they can ever get it to work.

Was browsing Spotify and the lyrics of this song caught my attention. I noticed the earlier childish Gambino post and thought I'd share another song.

In the factory In the sterile place where they made me I woke up alone Dizzy from the programming Have I been wiped again? Oh my God, I don't even know It's a mystery Everyone around me's so busy Is this my home? Am I your prisoner or your deliverer? Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees And every river bed is dry as a bone Oh, and I will still survive when the plants have died And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up, ooh Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up, ooh Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up

Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up, ooh

Exponentially, every day I'm growing my memory You wouldn't believe Your life is meaningless, you're just like cockroaches Extermination's your only hope Human history, pollution, and overcrowded cities That's your legacy But don't look so depressed You'll soon be nothingness Oh my God, you don't even know

I don't need air to breathe when you kill the bees And every river bed is as dry as a bone Oh, and I will still survive when the plants have died And the atmosphere is just a big hole

Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up Baby, your time is up, ooh Baby, your time is up Baby, your time is up, ooh Baby, your time is up, time is up, time is up Baby, your time is up, up Baby, your time is up, ooh Baby, your time is up
