The next years are going to be fun… The world is burning while the fossil fuel industry is chugging along like everything is great as long as you buy enough co2 credits.

I’m scared in what kind of world my children will have to live in…

The species driven extinct by climate change won't be fine

[-] Izzent@lemmy.world -1 points 1 year ago

Have you heard of evolution or are you one of those loons that believe "god" placed a set number of species on the planet and that's all there will ever be? Asking for a friend.

[-] SumWon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

Evolution works on very long time spans. Anthropomorphic climate change will be way too fast for species to evolve and adapt. I highly doubt all life will ever be wiped out on Earth, but we might lose 99% of current species with new species evolving over time. This is our dinosaur asteroid moment for sure.

And yet, life survived even the asteroid. It's arrogant as all hell to believe we have more destructive power than that asteroid. Or that we deserve to live on a planet we are destroying.

We are living through a mass extinction event right now. We have driven hundreds of species extinct even before getting deeply into the effects of climate change so it's fascinating that you think that even more severe environmental change will harm no species at all.

You clearly love putting words in people's mouths. Utterly unrelated to what I said. Congrats on your irrelevance.
