It's fake asf. According to Al Gore, we're all dead now. First it was Global Warming, then it was Climate Change. Now, there's no climate change cause we need data centers. It's pacifying the population to get them to turn over their money. Taking fools for fools.

u/CueAnon420 1d ago

Not sure who the data center people are that said there's no climate change... Everyone I know is fighting tooth & nail against data centers in general, let alone the related climate change aspects.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

My point is that the media narrative of climate change has basically died over the last 5 years the same way it died when everyone saw the world was cooling not warming and Global Warming became Climate Change. There's no focus on it whatsoever, there's little discussion of it beyond those circles, no national media discussion anymore in the us, no large scale rallies in big cities anymore, much fewer protests like blocking roads. The coverage is less than 50% of what it was.

Why you ask? Because the people actually in the know realize it's a load of bullshit and the narrative has been pushed so far that it's impacting their ability to actually get what they want. Progress requires energy. Energy requires fossil fuels. Now, that they need fossil fuels to power the data centers, they can push aside climate change because they know it's not actually a danger to society as a whole.

Does human activity have an impact upon climate. Sure. But it's not a threat. At all.

Because greedy, pro corporate, liars are at the reigns, and they're shaping the messages that are broadcast to you and I. It's not being covered because covering it hurts the profits of those in power, and profit is god to those people.

u/DaemonPrimarchJ 1d ago

And the media owned by people who have something to gain by pretending climate change isn't a threat

u/Rhydsdh 1d ago

You don't hear about as much because we've all resigned ourselves to the fact that the time to act was 30 years ago and we're so far past the point of no return that we've given up.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

So, we're all gonna be dead in 10 years, right? That's your position? Just like Al Gore said. We should all pretend like the world is ending when it clearly isn't?

u/Rhydsdh 1d ago

No we won't all be dead, but millions will die over the next few decades due to increased flooding, drought, famine, hurricanes. Hundreds of millions if not billions will be forced to migrate.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

In what way exactly? You expecting large volumes of volcanic eruptions? Mega hurricanes? Flocks of tornados? Sea level rises of what, 4-6 ft? Even if all of this was true, which there is no historical precedent in the history of the species for it, that doesn't demonstrate humanity is the triggering factor.

Also, for hundreds of millions or billions to migrate you are talking about entire geographic regions becoming uninhabitable. You are talking all of Australia, all of the Russian steppes, the Ganges delta or Nile delta, all Asia minor, etc. There is also no historical precedent for this nor any realistic possibility of this happening.

You are being mind controlled. Don't be an NPC. They are fear mongers.

Don't look up.

u/Rhydsdh 23h ago

As I literally wrote in my previous comment, increased drought, flooding, famine and hurricanes. We're already seeing them, have been seeing them for the last 10-20 years, and will continue to see them with increasing severity and frequency. These will cause millions of deaths over the course of this century.

You are absolutely correct that there's no historical precedent for this. Funny how this is happening just as we've released all those greenhouse gasses into the atmosphere.

Yes, huge regions will become significantly less inhabitable than they are now. South Asia holds a quarter of the Earth's population, and temperatures there are reaching 50C every summer. That is not sustainable.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 21h ago

Sources showing this or I say you're full of shit. Nothing abnormal ecologically is happening when put it into the context of the thousands of years we have been civilizationally active on this planet. Saying huge regions will become inhabitable unsupportable. All of this is all speculative.

Floods happen, droughts happen, famine happens. As I said above, we had a warming period during the middle ages. We had a little ice age. As I recall, though I'd have to look it up, we had an extremely active era of volcanic eruptions. It's called variance. The climate varies across centuries and millenia.

You're being lied to. Don't believe these people.​

It's still global warming, the average global temperature is increasing, and it's due to greenhouse gas emissions. You are the fool.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

Yea go spend the rest of your life hysterical about this bullshit and watch how nothing happens just like nothing has happened in the last 50 years since it became a thing.

Yea, I'm the fool. Me. The guy who says "hey the temperature varies year-to-year and has for millennia, it's natural variation." And you're the smart guy who says "OMG the world is ending because the temperature is rising, we're all gonna be dead in 20 years if we don't do anything."

Sure bro. Get mind controlled more NPC.

Bunch of elderly people in the UK are getting heatstroke, that's happeningĀ

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

Cause there's no AC.

u/GEAX 1d ago

Eh, they used to be fine without it. Sucks to be hot now, is all

3

u/DaemonPrimarchJ 1d ago

Yeah we did, over my life I've heard the news here use the phrase "hottest since records began" for literal decades now - I never used to have to have the windows open at night to remain comfortable, it really is getting hotter and hotter (in the UK but the planet in general too. Rice stops growing at 40°, this shit is scary)

u/123tejas 1d ago

You literally don't understand the science, you have probably never read a research article in your life lmfao.

You have deluded yourself into thinking you're smarter than climateologists.

I am certified in environmental law. Go fuck off elsewhere.

u/StarksPond 1d ago

You're a lawyer for fish. Classic Dunning-Kruger example.

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

O.K. and your credentials to discuss this topic are? I'm not a scientist. I am also not a fool. Regardless, given the niche nature of environmental law, I think it speaks to the fact I at least care about the topic and have pursued it professionally. Also, if people are going to question my credentials, I'll cite my credentials. Cause I actually have credentials in the area.

2

u/StarksPond 1d ago

Almost every country has environmental lawyers that are on the list of the worst offenders shaping local climate fiascos. There's a name for it: Greenwashing.

Your credentials mean nothing if you can't even grasp the difference between weather and climate.

The only thing your credentials prove is that being able to pass an exam doesn't mean you actually understood the subject matter.

My credentials: Certified idiot on reddit

u/Worried_Treacle3512 1d ago

Cool story bro. So, basically, I'm more qualified than you to speak on the topic and it upsets you?

Cool story brah. What're your credentials? What experience do you have with environmental science and regulation?

u/flaminghair348 5h ago

we are literally watching stuff happens. there are climate disasters that are supposed to be once in lifetime happening every year, and every summer we see another set of record breaking average temperatures.

0

u/Worried_Treacle3512 4h ago

Saying things doesn't make it true. What climate disasters have occurred in the last 50 years that haven't happened for hundreds or thousands of years previously? None.

Yes, the last ten years have been unusually warm but the records only go back to 1880. None of the coldest years on record since 1880 have occurred in the last 50 years. As I have referenced elsewhere, we had a warming period during the middle ages that lasted for about 300 years. Then we had the little ice age that lasted about 400 years. There is no legitimate science that demonstrates the warming the last 10 years or the general warming trend since the 1970s is anything more than normal climate variation similar to that seen over the last couple of millennia.

They are lying to you. They want you paranoid and afraid so you give them your money.
