Pakistan, one third of the country under water. Videos of hotels collapsing into rivers that weren't there a week ago.

Flooding or drought, depending on where you live.

This is beyond politics. I don't think we, as humans, are able to get it together and fix this mess.
I'm literally just hoping we hold it together till I'm dead

That's too bad. Climate has been changing since the Earth became a planet.

Dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier," Thwaites has been the subject of scientific concern for decades given its immensity—it is roughly the size of the U.S. state of Florida and, if melting continues at the current pace, it could raise global sea levels by 11 feet or more.

I think the issue is that it is changing faster than it has in the history of mankind by a large factor and that we have billions of people now living in areas that will be impacted.

"the climate has been changing throughout the history of the planet" is a worrisomely ignorant take that too many people seem to share, and those that that parrot that nonsense clearly don't have even a rudimentary understanding of basic entry level climate science concepts.

Rising seas could swallow millions of U.S. acres within decades

1. Sea level rise will shift coastlines — and property lines
2. The Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast stand to lose most
3. It’s not just about flooded homes. It’s about eroding tax bases.
4. The potential ripple effects are vast
5. The future is not (entirely) set in stone

Wait....so it's NOT been changing?

I think there are those of us that believe that climate change is happening and there are those of you who buy into the propaganda.

Patagonia’s founder gave the $3 billion company to a set of trusts and nonprofits meant to combat climate change.

It's not an easy thing to adapt to food and fresh water shortages. We'll do better here in the US but alot of third world countries are going to feel the pain.

Has there been any studies showing how
much impact U.S. green efforts will have on global warming if other industrialized nations like China, India etc.. don't participate?

This feels a lot like having a no pissing end of a swimming pool.

China says 1/3 of its energy will come from renewables by 2025. India currently gets 40% of it's energy from renewables.

Seems like a fair topic to consider. Turns out China (and India) are building many coal plants to address demand and energy security. Not ideal.

This -
India currently gets 40% of it's energy from renewables.

Can only be true if Poop burning is considered "renewable".
By any measure this practice is toxic, highly polluting, and unsustainable.

I’m not a denier. The expert studying the issue doesn’t feel comfortable saying it’s climate change yet. He also isn’t sure if they died or moved somewhere else.

 

[Ilov80s]

Climate change and ocean acidification are major problems. Pollution of our air and waters is bad. I can’t believe anyone can genuinely believe otherwise.
