The world’s high mountain glaciers, upon which almost 2 billion people rely for water, are also melting fast, the IPCC found, while landslides are expected to increase. A third of the great Himalayan range is already doomed, with two-thirds projected to vanish if emissions are not cut.

One of the most worrying alarms sounded by the IPCC report is about melting tundra and increasing wildfires in northern latitudes: “Widespread permafrost thaw is projected for this century and beyond.” A quarter is already near certain to melt, it said, and 70% or more would go if emissions are not curbed. In the latter case, hundreds of billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide and methane could be released, supercharging the climate emergency.
From the same report as above

Btw the tundra permafrost melt is so dangerous bc it has vast reserves of co2 stored in the ground. If that goes the runaway greenhouse effect will go nuts

Maybe there is things that need sorting out, but the Planet is gonna be fine, it always has been, it'll survive us humans and long after. If they've identified problems, then stop talking and go sort them out. It's the more practical way.

The planet will survive but we won’t.

Well that's a given, every human born in the future is gonna die at some point.

But I'd much rather dwell on the positives of life and make the best of it I can, and try to live a honest, happy life, even though every thing out there is trying to stop you doing that.

This is getting quite morbid, which is apt, because I've been to a funeral this morning.

Basically, yes! It's not that I don't care, it's just that I'm not programmed to save the World, and what they've said so far isn't panicking me, and in all honesty, at the moment, It looks like a confidence trick to me.

You’re not programmed to save the world but will openly criticise anyone that is?

Nobody is talking about the planet dying.

But our life on it will become extremely hard

Nobody is doing enough , that's why the kid and others campaign

It is as if you haven't listened throughout this thread
