70% of the Amazon is gone.
4-10 years left until the north pole is gone.
Whole ecosystems are going to die because its happening at a rate that is too quick for the creatures to adapt. In the north pole, polar bears are being found dead from swimming exhaustion and they can swim up to 80 miles in one sitting as far as I know.
We can't even stop it as algae is growing in places where the ice melts as well which further accelerates the process.
Doomed!.
I knew it was bad but not like this.

We speed this all up and it has been proven with ice cores but here you go people. The air as far back as millions of years is trapped in the ice and can be anaslysed. What is happening is natural (except the Amazon) except that if you factor us into it, we completely screw up the process. Its going to be a hot summer.
Copied and pasted of course.
What causes ice-ages?
Fluctuations in the amount of insolation (incoming solar radiation) are the most likely cause of large-scale changes in Earth's climate during the Quaternary. In other words, variations in the intensity and timing of heat from the sun are the most likely cause of the glacial/interglacial cycles. This solar variable was neatly described by the Serbian scientist, Milutin Milankovitch, in 1938. There are three major components of the Earth's orbit about the sun that contribute to changes in our climate. First, the Earth's spin on its axis is wobbly, much like a spinning top that starts to wobble after it slows down. This wobble amounts to a variation of up to 23.5 degrees to either side of the axis. The amount of tilt in the Earth's rotation affects the amount of sunlight striking the different parts of the globe. The greater the tilt, the stronger the difference in seasons (i.e., more tilt equals sharper differences between summer and winter temperatures). The range of motion in the tilt (from left-of-center to right-of-center and back again) takes place over a period of 41,000 years. As a result of a wobble in the Earth's spin, the position of the Earth on its elliptical path changes, relative to the time of year. This phenomenon is called the precession of equinoxes. The cycle of equinox precession takes 23,000 years to complete. In the growth of continental ice sheets, summer temperatures are probably more important than winter.
How does the ice build up?
Throughout the Quaternary period, high latitude winters have been cold enough to allow snow to accumulate. It is when the summers are cold, (i.e., summers that occur when the sun is at its farthest point in Earth's orbit), that the snows of previous winters do not melt completely. When this process continues for centuries, ice sheets begin to form. Finally, the shape of Earth's orbit also changes. At one extreme, the orbit is more circular, so that each season receives about the same amount of insolation. At the other extreme, the orbital ellipse is stretched longer, exaggerating the differences between seasons. The eccentricity of Earth's orbit also proceeds through a long cycle, which takes 100,000 years. Major glacial events in the Quaternary have coincided when the phases of axial tilt, precession of equinoxes and eccentricity of orbit are all lined up to give the northern hemisphere the least amount of summer insolation.
What makes the ice melt when the glaciation is over?
Major interglacial periods have occurred when the three factors line up to give the northern hemisphere the greatest amount of summer insolation. The last major convergence of factors giving us maximum summer warmth occurred 11,000 years ago, at the transition between the last glaciation and the current interglacial, the Holocene. During the late Pleistocene, the Rocky Mountain regions of Canada and the regions farther west were almost engulfed in the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, while most of Canada east of the Rockies and the north-central and northeastern United States were covered by the Laurentide Ice Sheet. The divide between the two ice sheets lay east of the Rockies, with the two ice bodies meeting near the U.S.-Canadian border in eastern Montana. The Laurentide ice sheet is thought to have been as much as two miles thick at the center.

We're in the same boat.....when rising sea levels destroy 80% of civilized land
Are you a sierra club member?
I'm from the uk so no.
I'm not part of any group. The reason there's a problem is because if our way of life. No amount of protesting is going to change anything while we keep spending, its borderline hypocritical.
The meat industry is also one of, if not THE most toxic and polluting industry going as well. We don't even need as much meat as we eat and there's no ice age coming, our bodies crave fat still when its not really needed. As intelligent beings, we should really be switching to fruit and veg and eating insects.
Might sound crazy but it's not.
Just like third world countries, they are in that mess because of our system and their governments buying into it. Watermelon s come from the Kalahari desert, I doubt they even grow there now.
Our way of life is the problem and so long as we keep spending, it won't stop.
I have switched to a vegetarian diet.
I recycle everything
Iv also quit smoking, ish, I keep having a smoke every few days.
That's action, not waving a WOODEN board about and whining to the government. That's like an alcoholic standing out the front of a wine merchants drinking a bottle of booze and protesting about how bad it is and then going home to drink some more lol.
Sorry, not trying to pidgeon hole you, I just think protesters are all talk and no walk.

Probably about as much as it took to make the machine you are using.
One of the best things you could do for your health and the environment is turn vegetarian. There's literally no need to eat meat.
Our task must be to free ourselves . . . by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty." "Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances of survival for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet." Albert Einstein, physicist, Nobel Prize 1921
This cuts out about 5 cars worth of carbon emissions alone. The whole process in the meat industry is more toxic than coal fired power stations.

A lot of people don't buy global warming.
You are welcome to educate yourself mate.
1 thing I will say is that evolution is always behind with the times and we are conscious intelligent beings. By your own insinuated Darwinian logic, I should be banging every bit of minge that I can get my hands on regardless of how my gf feels.

But surely locally sourcing the meat I eat, like say from the local butcher, fisher, hunter etc would work to cut out the toxic meat industry you speak of. Apologies for any naivety/ignorance I may have shown.
Yeah that's great.
Its the actual mass production that's bad on every level and unfortunatley, we are few.
Its fking hard being vegetarian because our bodies crave fat as our bodies are expecting a long winter that's never going to come. That's the hardest bit because I have yet to find fat that isn't in meat but I'm not wasting away.
That's why herbivores eat an absolute fk ton because there's not much storable energy in what they eat. Its kind of sucks either way lol.
Our intelligence surpasses our bodies and its really annoying.
Nah no worries, we are all human (simultaneously dumb as fk and the most intelligent beings we have encountered).

Its advised that we should only eatv1 or two bits of meat a week, fk correcting the first part of this sentence.
Red meat is good for iron/the immune system but because we are still not actually adapted to digesting it, it rots in our bowel and can cause bowel cancer.
White meat is your low fat (generally) and high in protein meat.
Fish is the don hands down but too much red can give mercury poisoning. Sadly we have ragged the oceans so much in both farming and destruction that we should be cutting fish out of our diets for about 30 years for it to recover.
Anyway this subject is wedge and I could go on forever about it lol.
But yeah, fat is lazy and unhealthy energy that our bodies aren't weened off yet. The next stage of evolution is with our mind and literally thinking mind over matter because our bodies are not genetically up to speed and never will be, we literally have to change it ourselves.

Nah no worries, we are all human (simultaneously dumb as fk and the most intelligent beings we have encountered). Honestly, I'm starting to believe the times are changing. Seems to me more and more people are taking their own steps to cut ties to big industry. On vegetarianism, I'm afraid I can't help you there.
As an intelligent being, it should be your obligation to educate yourself on the matter.
Information is available to read and cross reference with just a fw clicks and we are the most privy to it on the planet and yet the most ignorant at the same time.
Don't be a fool mate, willful ignorance is the epitome of stupidity next to just plain ignorance.
I say this because I care, seriously.

Aside from changing your diet. what can the common man do to improve the environment from within their own home? I like to recycle but I am not sure how much of an impact I am actually having by doing so. Do you have any other ideas?
Eat 1 piece of red meat, 1 piece of white fish and one piece of chicken per week. I'm not 100% sure how but most people eat so much meat that they are borderline guaranteed cancer as most meat has growth hormones in nowadays. There's going to be a cancer epidemic soon once these younger generations get to about 45 - 50, well actually loads of problems.
Were already seeing increased diabetes and other genetic diseases because the crap people eat is literally messing people up and their offspring.
Recycling is great.
Switching off unused plugs is great.
Getting a hybrid eco car is great and 60 miles per gallon.
Switching to solar panels for electricity is great.
Buying less plastic items is great.
Taking omega 3 fatty oil tablets will clean out your arteries as well on a side note.
But seriously though, charity, protesting and blah blah blah is all simply just treating a symptom. Our very way of life needs to change and if we all did these alone then the world would be much better off.
We need to stop this snivelling pathetic 'first world problems' bullshit. When you come face to face with the fallout from our system, just having running drinking water alone will make you feel blessed.
The third world has a great opportunity to build toward change but their governments buy into our bullsht, that's the only reason they are poor. That and the fact that we buy them out for cheap labour. They are not so heavily stuck the way we are but they are drinking the kool aid and wandering why they are poor, its ridiculous.
Our system is literally psychotic and its breeding psychos as well.

Though I'm really interested in how the culture grown meat pans out. That's pretty exciting.
I'm always a little hesitant to agree with things people say on this subject though. IRL I'm a working Environmental Scientist and too many discussions go like this.
Climate Change is a very real pressing concern that can have consequences both on physical well being but also economic stability. *agree*
Most of the arguements against suggested actions to change this come down to "it'll cost too much" while at the same time we spend trillions on silly things. (The equivalent of the GDP of Africa is spent each year on the world's military to name one) *agree*
Now if only we could get rid of the Jews we could finally solve these problems! *facepalm*
Yeah its bullsht, our fking system is a farce and a joke. We have people dying and starving in places like Africa that are resource rich just because they don't have the fking paper to obtain food and water.
Its fking ********, grrrrrrrrrrrr.

I think I may already be affected by this. 23 Yr old male and I am beginning to learn that I can't eat certain things. For example, fast food. After eating a big mac, I just feel like passing out or fainting. Body parts would feel completely numb such as my arms and my hands. As a programmer, I am not the most active but I am not extremely over weight. I can run several miles without stopping, and lift weights on occasion. Could it be a sign of diabetes? Could it be a rapid change in blood pressure? I don't know but it usually happens when I eat something that is not good for me. I have always had a sensitive stomach and another thing is that I cannot handle acidic foods. There was a time in my life where I threw up every morning for a year from overproduction of acid in my stomach. If I stay away from spicy or acidic foods for 1-2 weeks I could probably eat something a little less bland for a single meal. One thing I noticed was that the state of my health improved once I began eating more home cooked meals, but I already know that I will never be the same again. (dietwise).
I do software testing but my metabolism has always been high so I naturally don't gain fat but smoking is my poison. My buddy who was in the same predicament and started juicing and changed his diet. He went from about 21 stone down to 14 which is perfect as he is 6ft. He designs websites and does coding himself as well.
I'd defo go to the doctors if I was you. I found out that I'm sensitive to caffeine so I had to cut down on tea. My metabolism sees more caffeine being entered into my bloodstream at a quicker rate than most people.
So I'm not literally sensitive to caffeine, its just my metabolism. I don't know wtf they put in fast food but if I eat that before exercise, I feel like passing out or a lack of energy very quickly.
I'd put that down to our bodies struggling to digest that crap and so we spend more energy digesting it than what we gain from it I reckon.
My gf was also on her way to bring overweight but she's lost a lot.
If you are thinking "where the fk do in start though?" Like my gf was then I'd suggest going to a gym and getting a personal trainer and do what she did, she literally saidvthat she wants to look good and be healthy. A trainer will know precisely what will be good for you.
Straight up running is bad actually if your not used to exercise but you sound much like my mate, healthy but overweight and at the tipping point.
I don't know what your confidence is like on the matter but a lot of overweight people worry about what others might think up the gym, no one cares and anyone up the gym will secretly be hugging you in their mind if they see you doing something about it.
My mums side of the family has a hereditary thing with a blocked left ventricle and only in the men so naturally, I'm fairly terrified of that. Its something to do with the dairy products.

Chili is also really good for you, preferably home made.
I take a tablespoon if I'm hungover. It actually settles your stomach. Recent scientific studies have shown that its actually good for your stomach. There's nothing in chili that actually burns anything. Its just the signals it sends your brain because it doesn't want to be eaten.
Then our brain says 'fk you, this sht is good' and sends enforphines around our bodies. That's why we like it at the same time.
A lot of processed and take away food rots in our stomachs much like white bread, that was probably the source of your discomfort. Preservatives are the stomach Raper.

I'm good with hardware but that's small fry lol. It is not that difficult, the hard part is keeping yourself motivated. Must always be willing to learn new things and expand your knowledge. I don't see many programmers going very far at all unless they have a passion for it. Back in college 90% of my class dropped out of programming because they did not have enough passion to keep on trying. I found it easy and entertaining. (not because I am a genius) but because I just like doing what I do. It just all boils down to practice and if your hobby reflects your career... it will only help you advance that much more. For example I know how to program for android but if I don't keep reading about sdk updates and new os features and programming styles. My knowledge will be out of date in a few years unless I continue to learn.
Yeah defo, I don't have a passion for it like you and my mate does.
Iv seen him coding and the code resembles what he's creating and iv seen some hilarious logic that he puts into it, the choice of words are sometimes just plain toilet humour but its legitimate lol.
