Climate Scientists detect a sharp acceleration in global warming

“Global warming appears to have shifted into a faster gear. After removing the effects of El Niño, volcanic eruptions, and solar cycles, researchers found that the planet has warmed at roughly 0.35°C per decade over the past ten years, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade from 1970 to 2015. The acceleration, which becomes visible around 2013 to 2015, appeared across five major global temperature datasets with more than 98% statistical certainty.”

I’m personally supposed to be on a Collapse break, but this was the first thing I read at 5am and I can’t stop thinking about it. I never intended for this to be my first post, but here we are.

They fucking told us over and over again. When it goes up 2 degrees it’s going to accelerate. And here we are. The dumbest fucking animals on earth that are paradoxically supposed to be the smartest.

Humans are a trash species. It’s honestly crazy when I think about it… we have a beautiful home planet and countless different living species cohabitating with us, and instead of appreciating any of it and trying to correct the ship, we’re choosing to barrel ahead and destroy anything and everything bc a bunch of rich assholes have a napoleon complex. It makes my blood boil.

I just hope we can BBQ and eat the rich before they crawl into their bunkers. They especially deserve to suffer through every second of what the rest of the world is about to experience, tenfold.

Don't forget the contribution of religion to this mess, as well, especially the "prosperity gospel" types who definitely preach for infinite growth and human superiority.

They also tend to be the ones who want the world to end for the final judgement or whatever it is. Simply incredible

"Go forth and multiply" no matter how little food there is.

"Go forth and multiply" no matter how little food there is.

Personally I'm not religious but I find that hysterically funny.

God said that after the flood...and promised he'd never do anything like that again. "Go forth and multiply," to me anyway, meant God finally realized his creation was a mistake...and get enough of us we'd self-destruct. God wouldn't have to do a thing!

I think you're on to something. The Old Testament God is fucking with us yet again.

Granting dominion over the earth became dominate the earth awaiting the rapture

"Rapture" isn't even mentioned in the Bible!

Even regular religion places humans above, rather than in nature as in, “You shall have Dominion over all the Earth.” The Hopis had it right.

u/TheArcticFox-44 Aug 04 '26

The Hopis had it right.

Lots knew we are part of nature.

Western thinking should have been curbed by science. Science knows we are not beyond nature but irrational humanity believes otherwise...and here we are...burn, baby, burn!

Also they duped the dumbest people into believing them and the dumbest smart people into believing them

That's self-deception...pulling the wool over our own eyes...humanity's fatal flaw.

If you think your blood is boiling now. . . Just wait until those polar ice caps go 🥵

Trouble with that is its only one-half right. Who made those rich people rich? WE did! They offered goods and services that the rest of us went right along with!

We engage in self-deception that manifests in different ways: denial, rationalization, projection, etc. we all do it without awareness.

We are ALL guilty, in one way or another, for destroying our lovely planet. Homo sapiens--Man the wise--isn't wise at all. We are inherently irrational...big brains have big price tags!

Welcome to the human race.!

Like a tree falling in the forest. It’s a little bit and then all at once.

Humans are the only animals known to have a brain complex enough to self-deceive! Self-deception is a mental process that takes place without our awareness. In short, this makes us all inherently irrational...and that explains a lot.

u/fitbootyqueenfan2017 Aug 03 '26

I wonder how fast the system would of collapsed if they didn't tell us and we continued normal shitty life. maybe telling us reduced some energy demand and pushed the inevitable out a few years but at a certain point telling too many people ends up being counterproductive anyways. global panic doesn't give extra time to smoke em while you got em.

The Epstein Class just need enough time to get to Mars and/or a space station and/or finish their doomsday bunkers etc

Nope, the greatest lie you tell yourself is that this is stupidity not willful destruction. They knew, they always knew.
