"planet heating pollution" must be cut 60% by 2035 to save the world.

It grew by 1% last year.

Here's a thought: If this is so important, stop going after citizens and start hammering the countries and companies that are responsible. I see individual people making big sacrifices all over the world, and clearly their efforts did nothing. As I've said before, "we" aren't the issue.

Also, electric vehicles aren't the solution.

I'm going to use my car battery as a power wall when it is too degraded to run my car. Even at 50% life that's enough to power the fridge and furnace for three days, in a power outage.

What would happen to the Earth if we detonated the world's most powerful nuke at the bottom of the Mariana Trench?

Pfft. Who cares about that? What would happen if someone dropped a plastic straw there!?

My guess is.... not much noticeable from the surface.

edit - Yup. These bombs will level cities, but are nothing compared to the energies naturally released on earth every day.

Do you recycle? Does it make you feel good? Like you're part of "the solution"?

Here's some good news then!

Plastic recycling isn't working.

Better news!

Plastic recycling is creating countless millions of pounds of microplastics each year. Yep, our recycling might actually be killing the oceans faster.

Humanity for the win!

It's funny. Penn & Teller BS called the recycling industry out on this a decade to two decades ago.

When faced with the facts that their noble environmental practices don't work, they find faith and become enraged at the blasphemers.

Another day, another climate change warning.

Seems like banning plastic straws isn't working. Maybe efforts should be made to curb corporate pollution instead of citizens?

It's your fault, citizen. You used a plastic shopping bag last month, didn't you. It isn't the 100 corporations that accounted for 71% of all emissions.

*some lakes

Personally I'm shocked that when an area overpopulates and begins taking more water out of a system than what goes into it, that levels decline. Give a grant to a scientist to study this phenomenon STAT.

Long video, but interesting.

TLDW: Scientists are genetically modifying trees to make them able to absorb more CO2.

Some places are becoming "uninsurable".

For example:
This month, the largest homeowner insurance company in California, State Farm, announced that it would stop selling coverage to homeowners. That’s not just in wildfire zones, but everywhere in the state.

90-100 in the rooms of the Luxor.

If you've ever stayed there, you get the joke. Their AC sucks.

Climate change is so yesterday.

Underground climate change is the new hotness.

Just Stop Oil are the assholes blocking roads and gluing themselves to paintings. They deserved this, but honestly, it would have been more poetic to bar the exits, set the place on fire, and when they're screaming to be let out ask what they're learning.
