Phew, looks like the industrial revolution just saved us from falling below the safe climate zone! /s

Wow, so nature was getting colder to give us a bit more room to make some extra heat and we beat that to death.
The Earth is always trying to become a snowball. It has a pattern that has been consistent for millions of millions of years. Homo Sapiens were basically survivalists that won the lottery because it was a warm side of the last cold period.
Make no mistake, the heat we feel now is nothing compared to the heat the planet has endured in the past. Dinosaurs had a much hotter world, with the poles being tropical forests. But the problem is we broke the normal hot and cold time cycle. And the next cold cycle is going to be a massive freeze and its going to happen in a flash (thousands of years) but when it does its going to mean that if we survive the heat, will we survive the next cold that could bring mile thick glaciers at the equator.
The bigger concern is the rate that the climate changes. The climate is always changing but we have sped up so significantly that many ecosystems will not be able to adapt in time to survive.

The shopping realization for me is that I can't find this kind of graphs online with my average ass searching skills.
I can find linear graphs from the last 200 years or log graphs from the last 2000, but not what is show in this picture. No ship average joes think it looks natural, I'm convinced no one sees this graph, they see the shitty confusing ones. I bet many people don't have any idea what a log graph even is.
Hell yeah, bring back pangea. I want dragonflies the size of baseball bats.

I was just thinking about the poor air quality today and yesterday here in the Midwest, and then I see this. I want to be hopeful we can change this in my lifetime, but I am also not optimistic.

Younger generations are ignoring it as well. They're busy blaming past generations, while they themselves are some of the biggest contributors to our current climate crisis.

This is my boomer dad whenever he complains about it being extremely hot in the summer, cold in the winter, too much rain, etc. Always responds well it won't last too long and that's just nature, nothing we can do about it because it has a mind of its own.
And what were they supposed to do other than go out and vote in their own best interest?

Economists are orgasming so fucking hard at this you wouldn't beliee
Some economist did his calculations and came to the conclusion that climate change up to 4°C would only cost 0.1% GDP (or something else ridiculously small). Somebody else remarked that his calculations showed the same 0.1% at -4°C. There was a a kilometer of ice on the spot he was now sitting when it was last -4°C, and you'd think the influence on the economy of that would be a bit more than 0.1%.

Sure but right now is arguably worse. To say they ignored this while we are basically ignoring Trump destroying America is the same thing. People are so dependent on their jobs most people don’t have the means or the time to quit their jobs and protest.
My parents believe we’re in the end times and god will return any day now. They were mentally ill from the get go. They are pure evil and don’t see the evil they are.
Go figure they’re also extremely obese and mostly immobile. They are sloths and glutens. They never took care of themselves and believe bullshit snake oil salesmen over their own children’s advice.
You can’t reason with the evil that is these fundamental cultists.

The rich made the poor ignore it.
Just like with debt, we can just raise the ceiling and the problem is fixed
