In the 52 years since that date we increased atmospheric CO2 by 92 ppm. Two thirds of the atmospheric CO2 have been generated since this day.
It wasn't some clueless ancient ancestors, it was us.
From last year to this date, atmospheric CO2 ppm rose by 3 ppm, a new record rise – we are not slowing down, we are advancing the speed at which we race into a catastrophe. Last year, earth temperature was was 1.6 deg C above normal – the year we failed the 1.5 deg C goal.
There are not many animals that pee into their nest, especially if they are unable to leave it. Mankind manages to soil it's entire world.
But corporations will not stop by themselves.
Petrostates will not stop by themselves.
We must stop them.
Now.

@isotopp Who is increasing CO2? The industry? Who is using cars every day? The petro companies?Who is going by plane, traveling for holidays? The airlines? Who is using ChatGPT, is it OpenAI? Who is taking showers half an hour a day? Who is heating their apartment to 23°C? The landlord or Russian Natural Gas? And who is buying at Amazon...?
THIS is true democracy, YOU are the one in power, you decide...
@isotopp - We must, some are trying but 'they' are not listening. The reason for a Corporation is to extract profit for the investors, and until that changes we are f****d
