  Yet people will still whine about gas prices
context: Maybe it's in Shell's safety deposit box. >
  
  There's something almost every week now that has "climate emergency" written all over it. Kicking the can down the road has got to be taken off the table already. >
  
  Maybe too late. With permafrost fires we may be in a positive feedback loop. >
  
  While 'positive feedback loop' is more correct I use 'runaway reaction' when I explain it to people.  People have a habit of equating 'positive' with 'good'. >
  
  The amount of people who could not understand negative and positive feedback loops in my freshman college class no matter how it was explained was too damn high. >
  
  That reminds me of accounting class and people struggling to understand that credit and debit does not mean good and bad. >
  
  Tried to convert your username to text yielded empty translate screens on two different sites. 
  Has anybody, to your knowledge ever tried this before?
  If so, did they live to talk about it? >
  
  That’s 3 minutes of my life I would have spent scrolling Reddit, so thanks for giving me a laugh and something to do >
  
  California. The Sierras. My backpacking instructor-Cal Poly Pomona- took us to see his favorite glacier up high near our 11,500 ft camp. He recalled it as actually a valley of ice w small pools of blue water and lots of fun boulders to scramble upon. 
  When we got there…nada. Just boulders. 
  This was in 1985. >
  
  This has to have a massive effect on the kids of today. Growing up knowing in the back of your mind we are speeding towards an unrecoverable nosedive and all we can do is sit back and watch the rich get richer. No wonder everyone born after 1995 has depression and anxiety >
  
  Honestly, it's brutal. Young millennial (late 20s) here.
  I was raised by parents who cared very much about environmental degradation and these correlated issues. This made me aware of the issues at too young an age.
  My dad always mentions this dream he had in the 80s, living in Seattle, of all the beautiful evergreen trees dying and fires. In my lifetime the Western Red Cedars and Big Leaf Maples are starting to die off. Madrona blight as well.
  Went to school for Marine Science and sorta regret it. Ignorance is bliss.
  It's hard to justify seriously saving for retirement (I hedge my bets just in case). 
  My wife and I consider climate change a massive factor in our decision to skip children.
  I've been to therapy over this subject. Fun stuff >
  
  Elder millennial here. I miss bugs. There were so many more bugs all the time in the 80s. Butterflies, praying mantises, crickets; you'd see/hear them all the time. Now it's a surprise if you see them at all outside of a zoo. Everything just felt more alive. >
  
  Holy shit. Is the oil and gas industry okay? 
  Cunts. >
  
  Do not worry, stonk line still goes up. >
  
  I’m sure housing prices finally forced it to relocate. >
  
  The gas bill was too high. >
  
  People who keep on thinking climate change is imaginary can dream all they want because we will be losing more glaciers and icebergs as time pass. >
  
  This will do nicely as my daily existential dread-inducing headline about climate change. >
  
  Seriously. What can someone do to not have a breakdown everyday? >
  
  Maybe it went searching for answers >
  
  It wanted to find itself. >
  
  It's always in the last place you look >
  
  Wasn't Nestlés looking for water to buy in your area? /s >
  
  Anyone remember Dixy Lee Ray? She was a Democratic governor of Washington from 1977 to 1981. I lived in Seattle during that time. I was asleep in bed when Mt St Helens blew.
  Dixy wrote a book titled Trashing the Planet. In my opinion this book did a lot of damage to the effort to reverse climate change. >
  
  Knowledge of an impending climate emergency is old enough that it’s planning it’s retirement. 
  My bet is it’s going to do a bit of traveling, might tour the world like it’s been dreaming of. Florida and California are nice, might spend some extra time there. And who hasn’t wanted to visit Greenland and Antarctica? Climate change is a real adventurer, they’ll leave no stone unturned in their quest to touch every facet of the planet and that which lives on it. >
  
  It’s not even a funny joke because no one used the word “suddenly.” >
  
  Alright, who took the glacier? Please put it back as we all close our eyes…..you got 5 minutes…..
  /word >
  
  I’m not saying it was aliens, but…
