@ClimateDad77 No I disagree - That is emissions - of which the top 10% and top 1% are mainly responsible - but what about nature - humans are displacing nature science.org/content/articl…
@ClimateDad77 Oh FFS. What utter BS. FF emissions are just one aspect of overshoot. What about ecocide, loss of C sequestration, decimation of biodiversity, freshwater usage, N pollution. All more directly related to the food and water requirements of population!
@ClimateDad77 If you were to look at our species from a dispassionate point of view, you'd see a mammal with very low generic variation, completely overwhelming it's habitat, consuming it's resources and polluting it's environment and say "that ain't going to last".
@ClimateDad77 Any population that has a growth curve like ours crashes. We are over extended. Too many people using too many resources. There is not enough planet for all the people here. It’s not just the rich and it’s not just GHGs.
@ClimateDad77 It’s both, isn’t it? Consumption drives emissions, and population drives consumption. There’s far from a 1:1 correlation, which this graph shows, but emissions is only part of “the problem.” Carbon could go to zero tomorrow, and we’d still have pollution and mass extinction.
