Human activity is imperiling eight of the planet’s critical life-support systems and seven of them have already passed into a danger zone, according to a massive review of Earth science conducted jointly by more than 60 researchers and published Wednesday in *The Lancet Planetary Health*.
One corporation can potentially change to make up for thousands of people not changing to meet the scientific mandate these people have been telling us about for years. Fucking get the big businesses polluting and destroying earth boys. Litigation Inc

I am fully confident that we are further past the doomsday line than even these types of reports can recognize, that our understanding of the consequences of a multi-system collapse is naïve and oversimple, and that this is the end.
We like narratives. Narratives make big things small and turn complex into simple. “Technological advancement will save us” is a narrative. “Climate change is a hoax” is another.
“We can still fix this” is now a third.

We need moderation between oh shit it’s over we’re all fucked, and we can stop this.
I agree, in principle, we have overshot a lot, and the future doesn’t look like it’s going to be too bright. But the consequences of that sort of nihilism is that it lacks the context that – yes – actually – things can get worse.
We need action not to prevent, but to mitigate the even worse effects that come after.

Could we just nudge the planetary orbit, we only need a little bit furth away to bring down temps. /s

Feelsbadman, the anti climate change propaganda has won and now everybody will suffer for it, even the billionaires themselves.

We have had a scientist say this for the last 20 years.

It’s 90 seconds to midnight. This is the closet the clock has been to midnight since it was created *in 1947.*

When I was a kid watching 90s superhero movies, one thing that never made sense to me was Superman’s origin story.. it never made sense how with all their advancements, they let their planet be destroyed…
I was so naive back then.

We had a couple 60°F days in February last year that would be normal if I was talking about California but I’m talking about Vermont. We got a third as much snow as we did just three winters ago. Two years ago it was unseasonably warm, we had a heat wave in November. Last winner it literally never got cold.

Earth and life upon it have survived worse. The problem is what will happen to us.

I read this and imagined earth not respecting mars’ boundaries and the other planets are also angry with earth. I only need this narrative to cheer me up from the dread.

Human activity is imperiling eight of the planet’s critical life-support systems and seven of them have already passed into a danger zone, according to a massive review of Earth science conducted jointly by more than 60 researchers and published Wednesday in *The Lancet Planetary Health*.
Looking at necessities of a livable Earth — including the climate, freshwater systems, biodiversity and soil nutrients — the researchers find almost all have crossed crucial thresholds.
