Oh, gotcha. The word ‘only’ instead of ‘just’ would have made the sentence more clear. Anyway, I wish you happiness and good health!

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?

That’s it!

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.

Hell yeah can’t wait!

It’s a tale as old as time; a never ending battle.

Straight to jail.

Hell yeah! Sync is the reason I joined the fediverse when I heard you’re making an app. Been a loyal user of your reddit apps since the beginning, there is no comparison it was the best! Can’t wait to see how this project matures. So far, seems to be much better than other social platforms simply because it’s decentralized and all the benefits that brings. Things are looking promising and I, for one, don’t miss reddit at all!

The picture quality will be pretty much the same or identical, but the 265 file will be about half the size compared to 264. That’s the main benefit of h.265 is smaller file sizes without much if any loss in quality.
