Definitely not. I’ve seen these type of questions and answers on practically any job application in America. Thing is, this isn’t even the worst example of it, unfortunately. It’s fucking depressing and degrading.

We can’t afford it? Then we go extinct. What is the higher price? Anyway, it’s probably out of our hands by now. Like I mentioned, nature will probably choose for us, and she always takes the path of least resistance.
It’s definitely better than nothing, I’ll agree, but also underwhelming from where we need to be because it makes such little difference. Most greenhouse gasses come from factory farming and the activities of corporations. We should still make these baby steps in green technology even if it’s too late to change our fate, because the science of it is or could be valuable for an easier, more comfortable, or slower extinction process - as morbid as that sounds.
Theoretically, it could make aviation almost carbon neutral due to inherent inefficiencies, but what good will that do? We need to be heavily carbon negative in order to even have a the tiniest, faintest glimmer of hope to avert our own extinction if we continue to do nothing about this problem.
Reducing consumption is the only way to achieve this but that requires either a monumental shift in human behavior, or simply less humans. And, since we seemingly aren’t making the choice, I wonder which one nature will choose for us…
Not much else to say except yes you’re right. Unfortunately, the average person doesn’t care or understand the difference.
I think these would look pretty cool in my art deco living room, and they’re free too! Such a great deal ;)
Yes, I’m saying after that, literally in our final years, at the bitter end, even if we live long enough to see our sun begin to die and expand, the poles will be the only habital places on earth for a fleeting moment until we’re finally extinguished.
We are completely screwed. One reason nobody in positions of power are doing anything is because they know this, and also money. All these green initiatives are simply another handout or money grab until the end. Not that we shouldn’t try or stop inventing new technology, but we must keep our expectations in line with reality as well.
To answer your questions though, yeah, in our final years, humanity will be split between the North and South poles. Areas around the equator will be too hot to sustain human life. I wonder what our communication would look like then, being unable to physically travel between poles.
Anyway, this endgame scenario is probably a bit past our lifetimes now, but not by much. We will get to see the beginning of the end, so to speak, probably around 2030s-2050s climate change will become extreme enough for it to be undeniable to the masses. Expect mass deaths from famine, disease, heat, drought, extreme weather, inability to grow food, etc., the usual, but worldwide.
You can escape it for a while but eventually the entire planet will become hostile to most life as we know it. Maybe some microbes will be able to survive but not much else in the way of more complex lifeforms.
What about the year after that?
It was an American named Eunice Foote that detailed the mechanics of the greenhouse effect, but, give or take, it was also around the same time that many scientists came to the same or similar conclusions about this subject. So yes, we’ve been warned for over 200 years and have done exactly nothing to solve the problem. Why? $.
More like over 200 years ago. There was a french female scientist that discovered the greenhouse effect before John Tyndall but I forgot her name and I’m at work rn, can’t search for it.

My god you are insufferable. Go back to reddit you troll.
In this context, it is. Reddit isn’t even a tangible product, barely 18 years old. The 3rd party apps made reddit a little valuable, I’ll admit, but still there is nothing on reddit that is unavailable elsewhere.
Of course these are just my opinions I never said I was speaking for everyone, that’s the point of conversing.
When I think of value, it’s something that is needed. If reddit disappeared right now, nothing would change. Everyone’s lives would continue on as normal, and what information that is on reddit can be found elsewhere. It’s entertaining, yes, but not valuable.
Hell yeah can’t wait!
I’ll have to disagree, reddit is not a living thing, it is made up of users and creators, the good 10% of which you speak. Although I’ll agree reddit went through many phases, some better than others. The end result though is what I am describing.
Shit posts are not necessary and bots are not inevitable, they are are allowed. I’ll confess, I do enjoy both occasionally. But, real people make these decisions, they are not generated automatically. A real person clicks the button, for lack of a better phrase, and they can just as easily not click it, philosophically speaking.
Humans will be humans though and it’s only a matter of time before even lemmy will be ruined. That’s what we do best, for better or worse.
That’s pretty much what the fediverse is, people host their own “subreddits” called instances on their own hardware. I think it’s pretty neat.
Oh, gotcha. The word ‘only’ instead of ‘just’ would have made the sentence more clear. Anyway, I wish you happiness and good health!
