The older I get the more my politics align with that of Poison Ivy. Was she the hero we needed all along? 🤔😜 @comicbooks @humor@fedigroups.social @humor@lemmy.world @aiop#GeekMemes #Geek #Meme #Humor #Humour #Funny#Comics #ComicBooks #CEO #PoisonIvy #Heroes #Green #Bees

Comic where a man in a black suit is held by vines and screaming, with Poison Ivy saying, "The world can't survive without bees... but the world will never miss a greedy ceo."

    As a point in fact, we are well well past irreversible damage with global warming, even if we cut it all now, which we won't. We won't even reduce it, it will continue to increase, and there was never any doubt about that sadly.

    And yet, every moment we don't cut it, the irreversible damage will continue to get even worse. So we can't even say "oh well, too late to worry about it."

    No, but lying to people that it's reversible is counter productive as well. Try using the truth I would suggest to our activists. That way one retains credibility.

    The feedback loops are what is going to swamp us, it will snowball, the co2 and methane in the permafrost alone has more greenhouse gasses to be released than is in the atmosphere, 2x co2 just in the siberian permafrost to say nothing of their huge frozen swamps that are methane sinks.

    By all means we should reduce omissions, and not just for warming but to reduce pollution that harms life. But it's not looking good and catering to the good news only crowd that can't handle the truth loses more support than it keeps.
