The Carbon Tipping Point | #1 | ||
So, we are sort of in a bad state. This is a test we didn't want to pass.
However, to look at it positively: This is not the point of "we are doomed", what this means is that the only way for life on Earth not to experience a severe mass extinction is through human intervention. It means that nature can't cover for human pollution alone anymore - we have to through research, technology, and conservation - help. Thoughts?

First that graph really puts into perspective how quickly as a species we have screwed everything up XD
I can only hope what they said may ring true with "scary numbers could scare people into action" and hopefully? I remember hearing earlier that America happened to join the Paris Agreement, but have not yet actually taken time to read into how they purpose to lower these levels. Quote:

(we actually have a law in town banning plastic bags in general, so we all have paper bags again....) I feel the biggest question is how to approach the subject in a way that will inform people and change their minds from their viewpoints onto the matter that these are facts and not political bs that they don't need to involve themselves in. =/ Edit: I wanted to see more viewpoints for this, so I posted what you said onto FR, and once I get some replies will link you to the thread so you can also see more opinions/thoughts! I thought the more the merrier, and a decent way to spread the news around hopefully.... {MyAnimeList}{My MAL Graph!}{Read manga?

There's a plastic bag ordinance in Los Angeles too, but what ends up happening is that grocery stores sell reusable bags for cheap that just get thrown away anyway, so instead of having flimsy biodegradeable bags in the landfill, you've got heavier, sturdier bags. :/ And I DO live pretty close to the San Andreas fault. >.>; Games by Coda (updated 4/15/2024 - New game: Call of Aether)

It took me an hour to reread that in my head until it made sense to me XD
What can be done to cover for those who do not do their part? (if I understood correctly) For us the reusable bags are 99c or more, and the paper bags are 5c, and quite a few stores will give you a small (TINY) price break for each bag of your own you bring in. You do live in a dangerous place, in more then one way >.> {MyAnimeList}{My MAL Graph!}{Read manga?

Well, to be honest there's a side of me that doesn't really mind if all humanity dies in a few generations, because I believe nature will find a way to be like it was before humans were around.

mdom, I guess what this post is saying is, "That may have been true 10 years ago, but it is no longer the case." We are past the point where nature without engineering can clean things up.
SparX, we use our own bags mostly. Things like half-broken-down school backbacks, or the knitting my grandmother does. Stores don't like it, but it cuts down on our overall bag usage. I am not sure if that is helpful or not. And I'd certainly welcome what others have to say on the matter.

It costs 10 cents to get one of those bags here, which is cheap enough proportional to the cost of living that most people just shrug at it and get bags anyway instead of bothering to bring their own.
