šŸŒ Is the planet Earth doomed?

Iā€™ll buy a boat.

I think you should read Flood by Stephen Baxter

If I had a choice Iā€™d come back as a Cockroach. Their numbers seem to be holding up very well; a very robust creatureā€¦

Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources, such as the glue from the back of postage stamps. Some can go without air for 45 minutes.

They donā€™t seem to survive a well aimed blow from a trainer

Iā€™d come back as a mayfly so I could get the fuck off this shithole planet as quickly as possible.

Happy Thursday everyone!

Iā€™m watching Kingsman (the first oneā€¦ Itā€™s very average/ not that good) but the Samuel L Jackson character (Valentin) is sounding a lot like SOS has been on here. Is there a link?

Are you referring to the massive wealth and intellect?

Or just this kind of thing, that everyone has known for decades?

When you get a virus, you get a fever. Thatā€™s the human body raising its core temperature to kill the virus. Planet Earth works the same way: Global warming is the fever, mankind is the virus. Weā€™re making our planet sick. A cull is our only hope. If we donā€™t reduce our population ourselves, thereā€™s only one of two ways this can go: The host kills the virus, or the virus kills the host.

Itā€™s accelerating more and more with each day that we think we can ignore it and carry on as usual. Itā€™s coming so much faster than people can imagine.

What have you got up your sleeve @saint-or-sinner ? Iā€™m getting worried.

The first Kingsman movie was Slightly Above Average, you fkn dipshit!!!

I know what you mean tho, itā€™s not often you watch one of them bond type movies where a Megolamaniac is upto something Shady and think, hmm, thatā€™s actually a Pretty Good Idea. I hope he pulls it off.

How about a 35Ā°c wet bulb.

Sounds good and itā€™s relevant. All it needs is people to keep on doing what theyā€™re doing and thatā€™s a given. Itā€™s so simple itā€™s brilliant. Try it, mention 35Ā°c and people all say ā€œiā€™ve been in hotterā€ and dismiss it.

Weā€™re getting closer and closer. Lots of people already dying, but when we hit 35Ā°, millions could die in days.

Pakistan and India are going to suffer big, but all the middle east, africa and south east Asia are in for massive death and population movement. Everywhere will suffer to various degrees, even Europe, so just as well weā€™re leaving. Donā€™t laugh, it has more validity than most the other reasons.

Pakistan is suffering regularly now and it has not hit the magic number yet.

Dr Seemin Jamali, a senior official at JPMC noted to Al Jazeera:

ā€œThe mortuary is overflowing, they are piling bodies one on top of the other. We are doing everything that is humanly possible here. Until [Tuesday] night, it was unbelievable. We were getting patients coming into the emergency ward every minute.ā€

Nasa have put together an interesting little film showing the time and length of the seasons changing over the last 20 years.

Welol, this sort of thing cannot help.

Looks like the EU has been exposed

It seems someone made a mistake and our acceleration towards our impending doom never slowed down, despite our weak half harted efforts. Oops

It builds on a range of research that shows that despite repeated claims global warming had stopped it is actually continuing at a catastrophic pace.

See, thing is @saint-or-sinner , as you have alluded to in previous posts I think there is very little that the Human Race can do about it. Weā€™ve fucked the planet and now the planet is getting itā€™s revenge.

Gaia is very much a thing and the Earth has gone through hots and colds in the past. The planet is one big petri dish and Gaia is, just now, putting it in the steraliser to clean it ready for the next lot.

I like that idea, but it is just an excuse for the carry on as normal mentality, which in itself condemns more to certain death.

The amount that will die goes up everyday people think like that @btripz

The only way everyone could possibly be wiped out is?

Have you worked it out yet?

Still in denial?

Carry on as normal then.

Oh Iā€™m doing as much as I can @saint-or-sinner but we do really need buy in from the whole of society for this to work.

But I think weā€™re fucked anyway, Gaia is bored of us and wants to get rid.

Perhaps Gaia is a Saints fan and sees this as the only way to get rid of MP/ Reed/ Black(delete as appropriate)

This.

Those who worry most and try and recycle/manage their carbon credits actually create MORE harm than the remaining 99% (well that is the jist of it)

Almost posted that on your black Friday thread Phil. Itā€™s a good article and as you have pointed out, raises the ugly issue of whoā€™s to blame.

1 million plastic bottles a minute stood out.
