Hold the fuck up. We’ve shifted the axis?!
I am not downplaying climate change here, but how much of tilting the earth’s axis affects the weather (fronts, storms, etc) and what we’re seeing with climates? Could this be a bigger deal then human consumption and CO2?
Once again, not saying give up on other efforts. We know things change with the moon and rotating around the sun, so what are the repercussions here compared to CO2 and other man made factors? Is one a bigger impact than the other and is one easier to solve for?
The article doesn’t give these specifics, but it does say how much we’re shifting yearly which seems significant.
Why would you think the answers would be known? Especially when the GOP outright bans reports containing such trigger words as "global warming" and "climate change" (oh right, but it's the other side that cancels things, got it!:-P). Donald Trump even banned Yellowstone National Park from releasing raw data in the form of numeric measured temperature data from thermometers set up to do just that.
Global warming doesn't exist, and you won't say otherwise if you know what's good for you, capiche!? Or your family, who goes to school at... \ every day at \AM.
Guess we'll have to turn to a billionaire to save us, I reckon? Fortunately, they say they have our absolute best interests at heart, yup yup!:-D
I’m not really sure what your answer was trying to get at here. Did you think I’m some MAGA nut trying to downplay climate change? I’m not.
I was honestly trying to see if analysis has been done and whether one of these issues was the better to go after solving first, or not, due to overall positive impact of reversal.
Why so serious? It's not like the entire fate of humanity is at sta... oh wait, right...:-(
No, I was just joking around (gallows humor, a desperate act to deal with the apocryphal events unfolding in our lifetimes) - but to be clear, I meant it be like alongside with you rather than at your expense. No worries, I do not think ill of you at all:-). (whereas if I thought you were a MAGA nut, I assure you I would not have responded at all:-) - there just would be no point to that) Sorry that I did not make that more clear.
Hahaha. All good, friend!
As someone that has a kid, I do hate what we’re doing to this planet and worry so much about what he and others in the future will have to put up with.
You would have to be an insane MAGA nutjob to not worry about that these days! There is more reason for hope than it seems though, as explained in this Kurzesagt video. We need to not get complacent... but there is still some hope.:-)
