A 70,000-person global study found understanding how events such as fires and floods are linked to climate change may be a key driver of support for climate action.
I’ve read up about it before, but news feeds are currently completely overwhelming all our brains. That is despite mass extinctions being one of the most important things we focus on
Just so we all remember, Mass Extinctions usually don’t mean anything like all species on earth dying. Like, even the big ones killed max like 75% of genera. We won’t end life on earth unless we do a very impressive nuclear war or hit a runaway heating threshold that turns Earth basically into Venus, neither of which is even remotely likely.
Possibly more sadly, all signs appear to be pointing towards most stuff staying alive and just suffering.
Half the country thinks you can eat horse dewormer to cure a virus, and those same people think literal demons are engaging in child sacrifice to stay young. We’ve been absolutely fuckin’ cooked for years.
Oh we are so absolutely fucked as a species. Return to monke

Maybe a few tardigrades will survive, and after a few billion more years of evolution they’ll grow up to be less of an asshole than humans did.
Tardigardes be like
Doubt
Ah fuck you’re right. We’re going to be the cause of the next mass extinction
We already are the cause of the current mass extinction.
Anthropocene Extinction Event
We are currently driving the next mass extinction event.
Sit down for a moment.
