LaffyThe Arctic Is Farting ‘Ancient’ Methane and It’s Scary as Hell #ClimateCrisis https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/climate-change-arctic-emissions-methane-global-warming-1234783825/
MichelleRN, Former CHPN, Ret.@GottaLaff Our decline is speeding up and soon, there will no place to hide from the havoc humans have imposed on the earth.
@MichelleRNCHPN There's no place now. Even up here in BC we're having hot weather way more often.
@GottaLaff So very disturbing. One never thinks of Canada as having hot weather.
@MichelleRNCHPN It does now. Our neighbor told us it used to be rare, but now it's a regular thing.
Darrin West@GottaLaff @MichelleRNCHPN Hot is uncomfortable for humans. But desiccated trees are going to be more than uncomfortable. The line demarcating conifer vs deciduous must move north somehow. The fast way is with fire.
@obviousdwest Water. That's an issue. The big one. @MichelleRNCHPN
@GottaLaff @obviousdwest Absolutely. My water district has done a good job sourcing water and our conservation efforts are paying off...at least for now.
Paul Chambers🚧It is.
One thing for sure, I would put bet money on the fossil fuel industry is figuring out how to capture and use this methane gas to burn as fuel which would probably heat up the climate.
Off-topic, my fear is deep frozen viruses that may come alive at some point of the defrost that we are not aware of nor prepared for.

Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈@GottaLaff oh crap, I was wondering when this would happen. They said it would happen, and now here we are
@Lazarou And we could have stopped it
@GottaLaff even now our leaders try to fob us off, 'now is not the time' they say, as the air turns toxic and the sky orange.
@Lazarou Pure insanity

State governments that won’t legislate State Employee Pension Funds divest from fossil fuel be like - me, at the casino in the back room of Rick's Café Américain.

Doug Baker - Elbows Up! 🇨🇦@GottaLaff Wait till the permafrost melts- you ain’t seen nothing yet. Seriously.
JohnWIt's such a big thing that it's difficult to grasp. The full impact of the realization that most of civilization will die off within 100-200 years may damage us if we don't have some kind of mental buffer.
It's very scary, even if our understanding is fragmented.
@the_Effekt I know. It's completely overwhelming.
