To those of you who've seen the video or just want a rundown on it.
Dr Simon Clark, alongside other scientists essentially tried to predict the next 87 years of Climate Change

starting with
The AI bubble collapses in 2026
Heat waves across europe and flooding in asia across the 2020s
Peak CO2 in the 2030s
China and Africa becoming trading partners in terms of Nuclear and Solar in the 2030s
Sustainable aviation fuels start becoming popular in the 2030s
Water wars in both Ethiopia and the Fergana valley in 2030s
We hit past 1.5 in the 2040s and gain discussions of geoengineering around then
50% of all nonhuman species goes extinct in the 2050s
Climate Refugees cause governments to shift right as we reach immigration peaks
Fossil Fuel collapse in the 2040s, including state owned companies die out
Antarctic and Arctic Sea collapse in the 2040s
Ecoterrorism increases in the 2040s
Elements of a societal collapse in the late 2040s/2050s
Methane decreases in the 2030/40/50s
China and India almost go to war over tibetan water, almost going nuclear.
We hit net zero around the 2050/60s
We hit 515 PPM as a maximum amount of carbon in the atmosphere
Parts of Florida/Indonesia and all of Tuvalu/Kiribati/Marshal islands are all lost to sea level rise.
We reach net negative emissions in 2080, due to lack of food waste and less meat consumption
The AMOC doesn't collapse, and neither do ice sheets

Ultimately, he sees a world at 1.8-2C of warming by 2100, even if we see 2.7 as the most recent right now, and this is a bad post, I understand but it is by far my most watched video on climate change by my favorite climatetuber, it's what I feel as the most "realistic" video on climate change, it's a very tough, and very real watch, I just want to know if what some of what he's predicted may be true?

This, is just wrong, it's a statement that genuinely ignores just, all of bionicle

The way it goes, is that Tahu (and the rest of his siblings) were trained by the single best fighters in the bionicle verse, hydraxon and the rest of the order of mata nui, he was trained both how to deal with opponents stronger than him (spinax) and even found a way to break into and outmaneuver toa helyrex (the first ever toa, even before the toa mata) and yet he still fought and trained and worked with the toa mata for thousands of years, if not decades the belief that he was "in a nap" is when he was sealed in the containers after the great catyclysm, note the great cataclysm was at the VERY END of mata nui's 100,000 year journey throughout the cosmos, the toa were out for around a thousand years, but for the rest of those 100,000 years, all 6 of them were constantly training, fighting and bettering themselves, alongside this, while he lost these memories, in 2008 he got all of them back, he gained every bit of his hundred thousand years of experience back while still having gotten everything from 2001-2002-2003-2006-2007 and 2008 (plus 2010), the story of bionicle, while it takes place over thousands of years, afaik is around 1-2 years from 2001-2010, ignoring 04 and 05 because they were flashbacks, saying tahu loses experience because he was powered down for basically 1/100th of his life is just, outright wrong and just saying shit because "no tahu wincon can live lol!!!!" he's consistently been part of the story, always been there when he needs to, and has always surpassed people stronger than him, like a real one.

thanks for reading, blessed be by the great spirit.

I have been trying to be more optimistic about both environmentalism and things like climate change/the future in general, but also, god what the hell can we even do against the meat industry, it's not that it's just deforesting the planet, warming the world with methane emissions pushing us past 2C even if we went net 0 globally this exact second you're reading this post, using alfalfa/soy we could feed 10+ billion people with and have megatons left over to make us no longer have water across the globe, I just cannot understand how something this ingrained into society because of capitalism and profits first mindsets can even be well, de-established, it's honestly quite bleak looking at how we can basically do so much but because a few million people want to eat steak and cake and eggs and pork all day we are, basically what feels like, well. fucked.

I myself am a pescatarian, only eating sustainable fish occasionally and usually just trying to be purely vegan (holy crap seitan tastes so good btw) but m family are all so obsessed with red meat, everyone we know is obsessed with red meat, hell it feels like red meat itself is politicized, think about all the people talking about "carnivore diets" and "beef tallow" and I try talking to them about that but they just close their ears when it is literally destroying the planet, it will kill us all and I just, cannot understand how we can stop the meat industry from being well, our end lol

thanks for reading!

Hello all!
So recently, I've been wanting to get back into both arts and crafts and environmentalism after a very deep depressive episode that lasted a few years where I'm finally ready to get back into both, making things for others and myself, and helping the planet fully around, and I've been reading a lot about how the earth is "running" out of a lot of materials such as water and a lot of minerals and, I personally loved working with things like foliage and copper, just for simple strands and such, so I guess I want to ask, is there ANY materials I can use that I know will be pretty easy for the planet to refresh and not well, get rid of something we're already running out of. thanks for reading all!

Look, while I could be an optimist and say we're heading towards an overshoot timeline or somehow perfectly geoengineering our way out of all this and everyone stops eating beef and goes vegan/vegetarian and everything is okay with all our aquifers being refilled perfectly, I am a realistic optimist, I know we are going to live through a LOT of pain, worldwide, and have a LOT of issues with water and well, quality of life and animal extinction, I've asked a lot of my friends (some of who work in these fields) others who have just, read a lot of papers and some of them agree we're going through a LOT with some recovery, some extinctions of major species I just, want to know where others are going too, in around the next even let's say, 15-20 years.

title says all really, with global temperatures just continuing to rise every year, more PPM of C02 in the atmosphere than the past 100,000 years and almost everywhere on the planet in danger of reaching wet bulb 50-60c in the next decade/well even by tomorrow with it being summer and all, do you think we'll see some actual geoengineering to lower temperatures by anywhere from 1-1.5C in the next few well, decades?

Especially with more papers coming out on it with discussions on it being possible to cool by 2C in 15 years and costs being much cheaper than thought, i do wonder, especially with more carbon capture facilities being made and the current renewable explosion (that's still not doing ENOUGH!!)

Thanks for interacting and glad to see discussion about it here.
