The bad news: Earth's climate change problem just passed a point of no return. Atmospheric carbon levels have passed 400 parts per million, and they won't return to more environment-friendly levels "ever again for the indefinite future."
The good news? Oh, wait, no. Sorry. We're pretty screwed.
Carbon dioxide just hit its annual minimum at Mauna Loa Observatory and failed to dip below 400 ppm https://t.co/m0ZoyzgcEf — Climate Central (@ClimateCentral) September 28, 2016
We already knew it was bad. After all, in the last 20 years, humanity destroyed 1.27 million square miles—10 percent—of the Earth's wilderness. Climate change has "devastated" 93 percent of the Great Barrier Reef. The world's so screwed that genius Stephen Hawking recently claimed that "the human race has no future if it doesn't go to space."

Well, if we’re screwed, then there’s nothing more for us to do about global warming, right??? No more need for liberals to tell us what changes we need to make to fight global warming. We’re already screwed, so why do anything else to fight this alleged problem????
Well, if we “passed the point of no return”, why bother worrying about it and continuing on with the hoax and scam? Time for this old 70s disaster movie to end. Roll the end titles.
Choose wisely.
[In my best Carnak the Magnificent voice:] I predict that nothing will come of this environmental horrorshow, just as none of the other greenie gloom-and-doom catastrophes have materialized. However, I also predict that that won’t matter to the global warming fakes, who will continue to push their alarmist agenda until the next ice age, when they’ll claim that global warming was actually global cooling all along.
What? A number with two zeros is really significant? Is 400 special?
The climate system of the Earth restores equilibrium. If one part of it gets out of sync, that part is brought back to the norm by the entire system.
It is not irreversible. The only thing irreversible is the deterioration of the mental state of wacko liberals.
Ever grow a plant you effing moron?
Does that mean we can stop giving zillions of dollars of grants to “scientists” “studying” climate change?
Yes!
Many DOCUMENTED time in earth’s past where the carbon level were much much higher than now, sometimes 10x as much!
Grow hops. Hops needs carbon dioxide!
Does any more than 0.001% of the “global warming is a serious problem” crowd actually do anything serious about it? Like completely forego CO2-creating vehicles, for self & products?
We’re not going to solve the alleged problem if nobody concerned about it does nothing about it themselves, being a population-cumulative problem means it’s solved only by all individuals doing something about it.
He11, I’ve done more than most “environmentalists” by driving an electric car for a couple years and actually looking into powering it via solar panels.
Even if true (it’s not), the Earth will be fine.
I always wondered how we will be saved by going to space after all if they can’t fix our environment on earth what technology will they use to create the climate in space?
Oh boy, humans of the earth are getting guilted again.
“ever again for the indefinite future.” = prolly by next Tuesday.
Well, one thing WILL happen with the full support of the current admin. BIG BUCKS will continue to roll in for these true believers. Good news is that it’ll be our tax dollars. Oh, wait.......................
So, if we really are screwed, can we stop worrying about it, or using it as a club to destroy people’s livelihoods?
