Good luck convincing the rubes that. Literally heard jokes about “global warming” today in the office. Had to say, well its climate change actually and wild shit means its not doing good.
There once was an explosion the size of Russia because the coal and oil underneath it got in contact with magma, killing 99.8% of all life on earth (before the dinosaurs) 🦕🦖- this process released more CO2 in the atmosphere than if we would burn all the fossil fuel today (I’ve forgotten by how much more)
Earth took its time, couple million years, but the carbon-silicate balance was restored.
Edit: Fun fact 2 - during this time there are records of winds >800 mph, acid rain and temperatures >180°F
Fun fact: There was not a single mass extinction because of the shift of the magnetic poles, all mass extinctions can be linked to the carbon-silicate balance.
Woah, never heard of this. Got a link or a technical term?
The naturally occuring nuclear reactor in Africa is really interesting as well. So is the coal fire in Australia that’s been going on for like a thousand years.
“It’s cold as fuck because a monster bolus of hot air hit the arctic from the other side of the planet, sent a chunk of the polar vortex down here. Heat directly caused this. Did you have a problem with the word ‘bolus’, or perhaps understanding the Earth is spherical? Was ‘spherical’ too big a word? I can dumb this down if need be.”
Let them know that they changed the term to “climate change” so that stupid people would understand that the Earth getting hotter on average will make some places colder, because ice that used to be staying put, will now melt into water, which will flow into places where there wasn’t water before.
That’s about as dumbed down an explanation as is possible, I think, lol.

Should have called it “climate instability” or “climate chaos” from the start.
It shouldn’t have been “save the planet”, it should have been “save the humans” because the planet will be here long after we’re gone

Naturally occuring nuclear reactor in Africa? Nature is fucking weird bro.
1.7 billion years ago, natural Oklo breeder reactor in Gabon.
That’s fucking amazing, Joe Scott should do a video on this.
Burning Mountain in Australia, 6000 year old coal seam fire.
It’s called the carbon silicate cycle

“war on summer” might be the only one that works
You will pry my summers from my cold dead fingers.
Climate Change: “acceptable”
Climate Crisis is my preferred term. Gets the point across quite nicely.
Easy money.

Yeah except I myself didnt know that directly either. I just knew that, no, this is because of climate change not in spite of it.
‘It’s not okay to be this stupid.’

Please don’t get yourself fired!? Facts themselves are political these days:-(.
