Honest question - how do you all cope with this? Do you ignore it because it is painful? Do you donate to environmental groups like the EDF or NRDC? Did you quit your tech/advertising job to work on renewable energy?<p>I personally have been donating to environmental groups, but it feels like a cop-out. I'm using money to pay-away some of my guilt and my unwillingness to put more substantial effort towards such an important cause as this. It weighs on me daily though.<p>So honestly, how do you all cope? For those of you who have had the willingness/bravery to go "all-in", how did you do it? I'm addicted to my comfortable, wealthy lifestyle as a software engineer and I'm ashamed of it.
I would recommend the book Apocalypse Never by Michael Shellenberger. It's an interesting read where the author talks about how environmental alarmism hurts us and makes us focus on the wrong things and the importance of nuclear.
>But that figure, found in scientific studies, advocacy reports, the popular press, and even the 2021 U.N. climate assessment, is incorrect<p>So my understanding is that linking papers that claim the IPCC is wrong makes you a science denier, or am I confused about how the rules work?
"Mark Serreze, director of the U.S. National Snow and Ice Data Center, also welcomes the new analysis but points out that Arctic amplification is never a fixed ratio. As the researchers showed, the time span used to calculate the rate matters, as does the latitude and season—amplification is far larger in the winter. Serreze adds that Arctic warming has always been more uncertain than the rest of the world, because of the spottiness of the observational records. “As a result, I’m always in favor of looking at it as a range,” he says. “Two times to four times.”"
I know this will likely get modded down, but how is this report any more credible than all the others (for other places) that say exactly the same thing? How credible are any of these reports, if they all conflict with one another?<p>Citation: <a href="https://youtu.be/YUV8U3yBJ6U" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/YUV8U3yBJ6U</a>
Eh. Maybe I’ll invest in real estate in Greenland, as it might turn more green.<p>As long as air quality remains ok where I live, I don’t really care about the climate warming, and I feel it is something put into motion long ago, that our stupid “carbon credits” won’t do a damn thing to stop.<p>If it gets really bad, well, human agency is a marvelous thing.<p>The last thing we need is politicians with investments in “green” technology forcing us to use “green” technology. (Same goes for those with investments in fossil fuels, shouldn’t be forced to use those either)
