So, are we in the 'Oops' phase right now or what?

So, are we in the 'Oops' phase right now or what?

#ClimateChange #Meme

@NickEast_IndieWriter if we're in the oops phase it's missing some other oil sponsor to say that "oh, well, it's too late to do something, keep using oil"

@NickEast_IndieWriter

Following a similar time line to cigarettes and cancer …

[anonleftist@mstdn.plus]

@NickEast_IndieWriter fuck right wingers.

@electricsheep @NickEast_IndieWriter aka. the "we can save it all with carbon capture and storage (which has never worked)" and "everyone should switch to hydrogen (so we can continue to control the supply and make it from fossil fuels anyway)" lobby...

@roknrol @NickEast_IndieWriter
I thought there is extensive evidence that both Shell and Exxon actively thought themselves to be lying while paying researchers to say those things at those times.

[roknrol@beige.party]

@screwlisp I think you're right.

For clarity, I was referring to the public in general.

@NickEast_IndieWriter depends on which "we" you mean

Sadly oops and fuck are unevenly geographically distributed.

Ideologically some people are still on the isn't real end of the spectrum. There's also a "it's real and I don't care because the coloured people who live somewhere else and the poors everywhere are the ones who will die first" group not shown on the graphic

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@roknrol @screwlisp I was thinking more about a scientific average, I couldn't even pretend to care about what the public in general thinks

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@RedRobyn That is certainly true, but lets say on a scientific average for all living things?

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@wendinoakland Oops and 'Oh shit, it's brown pants time' does seem have a significant statistical correlation...

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@MiasAlt It's more like, 'We know climate change is real, and sure our children and gradnchildren will die, but saving them doesn't make me richer now."

[nickeast_indiewriter@mastodon.art]

@electricsheep I thought that was the Capitalist US, oligarch controlled Russia, and anti-humanitarian parts of the middle east?

[miasalt@sunny.garden]

@NickEast_IndieWriter I like yours better.

@NickEast_IndieWriter
As a planet, we're way into "fuck"

[grayrattus@mastodon.social]

@NickEast_IndieWriter yes

[zynaesthesie@mastodon.social]

@ozzelot @NickEast_IndieWriter Half past “FUCK”, I presume

[reiddragon@fedi.catto.garden]

@NickEast_IndieWriter I'm pretty sure we're already at "fuck"

Even if we go completely carbon neutral yesterday, temperatures will be hotter for the rest of the century than they are today.

The last one is brought to you by Open AI.

[jmax@mastodon.social]

@NickEast_IndieWriter Nah. The trigger for that will be when we lose a major city.
