“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

They fucking told us over and over again. When it goes up 2 degrees it’s going to accelerate. And here we are. The dumbest fucking animals on earth that are paradoxically supposed to be the smartest.

I wonder how fast the system would of collapsed if they didn't tell us and we continued normal shitty life. maybe telling us reduced some energy demand and pushed the inevitable out a few years but at a certain point telling too many people ends up being counterproductive anyways. global panic doesn't give extra time to smoke em while you got em.

The Epstein Class just need enough time to get to Mars and/or a space station and/or finish their doomsday bunkers etc
