    Yeah I’ve understood since high school, what the fuck do you want me to do about it when I can barely keep myself and my family alive as is?

      This particular author wants you to panic.

      We are certainly facing many environmental crisis, there’s no doubt about that… But the data here seems limited. I assume we simply don’t have measurements older than 50 years to add to this graph?

      Edit: Here is a better graph!

      Still alarming, but the data only goes back so far… It feels like something everyone needs to pay attention to and take seriously, but perhaps turning down the Vault-Tec guy knocking at your door is still a reasonable action to take.

        Seems like the authors doomerism is working. Look at some of the assholes in the comments. It feels like they get off of the negativity.

        Is shit bad? Yeah. But giving up helps no one and is a punch in the face to all the people that are fighting tooth and nail every single day.

        That graph is 4 years out of date and still shows the same thing, if we don’t make radical changes, we’re fucked.
