Dopamine is killing the planet. I want, I want, I want.
Weâll have all the dopamine we need when Limerick blow up in the heat.
It was like this for 2 months in 1984 from what I can remember. June 2013 was a full month of this too
RTE on their website were saying itâs too early to blame the floods on climate change
Bizarre
Tis called Summer. Get out and enjoy it.
All scientists?
What about priests, mullahs, rabbis or reverends? Iâm sure some of them put the weather down to Godâs wrath
The environment is the biggest crisis the planet has ever known.
I pay no heed to creedsâŚ
Doubt it. The planet has had bigger crises than this.
Weâll suffer and might not survive it but earth will keep spinning and life will remain in some form or other.
Well, I hope you are right⌠But what was bigger? The Black Death? Not sure myself⌠WW II, I guess.
I think you are mixing up crisis for humanity and crisis for the planet. Whatever caused the extinction of the dinosaurs was worse for starters.
Well, I agree. That distinction is correct.
Was thinking of planet, although crisis is man made, icebergs calving and so on. The destruction of insect life, likewise man made, is beyond depressing.
True on dinosaurs â but hard to feel any relation to that event, since it is such deep time.
Yip, possibly the planets biggest humanitarian crisis on the cards alright.
There is probably too many of us⌠If all 8 billion needed a basic safe and dry house with heat in the winter and everyone needed 3 basic meals a day⌠Have we even got the resources for that?
Do you really think there is genuine scientific consensus on something as complex as the climate âŚnever mind mans impact on it?
We likely do have resources â with caveats about distribution. And population has apparently peaked and will level out, in a global sense, by end of 21st century. But certain well flagged places, such as parts of Africa, will be in big bother.
Cutting down forests to grow soya to feed to livestock is beyond nuts. But cheap protein is the opium of nearly everyoneâŚ
I do not like to think about such matters too much.
Apparently population growth is plateauing and there are sufficient resources for all of us. Iâm not downplaying climate change and itâs dangers but there has always been a sense of pending apocalypse within humanity, all humanity. Our native religion is founded on the notion of preparing for the imminent end of days and before climate change we lived in fear of mutually assured destruction.
What about the fish supper ? Isnât that in danger ?
Mad stuff.
Everyone knows floods only started in 2021.
