So we’re winning on Aerosol loading and Ozone, the two things we actually made societal efforts on reducing before our world governments went fully to shit (well, more actually, were decaying but still kind of functioning in the 80s and 90s).
I guess if there’s any silver lining, humans had the power to address these things and theoretically could again if, well… y’know. Sigh.
It’s nice to see a comment from someone else who read the article rather than just more generic doomsy comments : )
Can’t wait for the new mass extinction to drop
We’re already in one
Welcome to the Holocene Extinction, you’ve been here the whole time but I guess most people aren’t aware.
I was really hoping for worldwide volcanoes or something. Quietly cooking in our own soup while everyone blames each other is such a depressing extinction party.
Turns out our Great Filter might just be us.
Pollution being the great filter would make so much sense.
Scientific American? What kind of DEI enabled woke bullshit is that?!? /s
Don’t worry about planetary boundaries. Fascist America will jail or murder the scientists and journalists so your average mouthbreather will die in bewilderment.
