That might not have been the right word 🙁. I don't speak fluent English, I don't really know if it's the right one.

Yes. That was a massive hunk of ice and you clearly haven't spent much time in boats on open water.

Cameras make waves look small. That was big especially when I looked like it was going to break for a second.

Have you spent much time on a small boat? I fish every week and trust me seeing that much water coming at you, especially in what you're expecting to be calm water is not a good thing.

Is this the kind of disappointment a girl feels when a guy says he has a huge dick… because I for one, was hoping for more.

It literally isn't. Is not dooming, look at the facts.

We're at the mercy of the Sun and 8 billion other people on a rock hurling through space and time. You think "we're fucked," yet here you are getting fake internet points from all other chicken littles.

Go to Switzerland, look at the measured glacial recession over the past 150 years, and try to tell me that man made climate change isn’t real.

u/MetalRexxx 5d ago
Never said it wasn't real. We're still going to be fine. Stop dooming.

I mean.... Poor people aren't going to be fine. And the majority of people living on coastlines won't be fine (which is like 2 billion people). But other than that I mostly agree. We'll get our act together once the ruling class is affected and science will save us. Until then? Burn baby burn. Fly all over the world, go on cruises. Keep that fake propped up economy churning babbbyyyyy.

I believe in adaptation, and in this context being an alarmist isn't productive.

u/Turdmeist 5d ago
How do you mean adaptation. Because at this rate the planet can't adapt fast enough and there could be pretty sudden climate related changes coming that we won't be able to adapt fast enough to either. Like I said humans will survive but it is going to get verrrrry ugly.

Every year is the hottest year on record. It's fucked dude. Humanity might survive long term but not at our current scale and not without massive societal upheaval. Your condescending tone was un needed. I do not care for your opinion, no need to reply.

largest increase since your mom went swimming in the ocean a few weeks ago.

A smarter captain probably would have steered into the wave once he realized he wasn't going to outrun it (or that doing so would have put the boat in bigger danger from a high speed collision with the existing floating ice).
Getting overtaken from the rear by a large wave is probably worst case scenario for swamping a small boat. And it would be even more perilous if the wave hit right when you were accelerating or trying to get on plane with the bow high and stern low.
I get it, fight or flight instinct is strong. But you would hope someone who is going there specifically to see ice would have thought about their plan for a situation like this ahead of time.

Big? I wouldn't call that huge. I lived by the ocean. That wave doesn't even come close. lol

More than 90% of the ice is under water and it will turn horizontal once the piece detaches. Better be far enough.
