    Iirc, if you’re 60 today, around 75% of human CO2e emissions were created during your life time. The number may be a little off, but the point is: since emissions have steadily increased, it’s very likely that the majority of emissions were emitted during your life time. Which also explains why shit is getting crazier very right now, as emissions are on a level never seen before and still rising.

      But the rising is slowing down! Yes we’re still emitting more and more everyday, we’re atleast emitting less more

      This is why I think we need to have global battle Royales. Thin the herd. Keep the population lower so we don’t have to work the earth as much.

      Maybe a nuclear war and the following nuclear winter would be a good reset for ol mother nature lol.

        Population is not even the issue here. We are capable of sustaining the amount of people we have we just refuse to do so efficiently because it benefits rich people.

        No need for nuclear war. Looks like Captain Trips is being brewed in the US bird/cattle/human populations at the moment. M-O-O-N spells pandemic.

        De-growth in general would save us without population decline but the world economies collapse when there’s de-growth.

          That’s because the world’s economies are built on the unsustainable principle of infinite growth.
