Earth’s climate swings increasingly out of balance
wmo.int
Geneva, Switzerland (WMO) – The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and melting of ice, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds – and potentially thousands – of years.

      Smoke 'em if you got 'em.

      I’ve definitely been shifting by focus and planning (e.g. financial) to be less future-oriented and more about the present.

    Just end it already. I can’t take the constant awful news and the apathy of the ruling class anymore

    “Skids” would probably be more appropriate than “swings”, since it’s getting worse and worse in one direction rather than back and forth between extremes…

    Also fits with the fact that a bunch of selfish bastards are making everything worse by pouring oil on the road we’re all forced to traverse.

    I personally think microplastic and chemical water pollution will kill us sooner than climate change but who knows.
