Actually, Greenland was warmer 1000 years ago than it is today. Vikings were able to grow wheat and vast pastures
Well I guess Erik the Red's going to be vindicated eventually. >

Greenland was warmer when he settled there. The Vikings were able to farm crops that simply cannot be grown there anymore like wheat.
It has to do with ocean currents more than anything else. The world's climate now is technically warmer overall. >

The problem is, there’s only so much individuals can currently do. It’s like trying to limit your exposure to PFAS. Because of corporate policy, they’re in our food and water now. >

Make Greenland green again >

... and the rest of the world under water. >

Well, the most inhabited areas, at least. >

good, we can have sea finally >

Kevin Costner will be happy. >

And all I am reading are governments making coal mines >

This is what climatologists have warned about for decades. 
We are fucked. Hell, it's 75°F here in Texas in JANUARY. 
Weather systems are going to only get worse. Food productions will have to be shifted like they have never been. >

We're not fucked.  Humans have and always will adapt.  Stop being so negative.
incoming reddit rage in 5, 4, 3,........ >

The lucky humans adapt. 
War, disease, natural disaster, etc. People die, and the survivors move on. 
The difference here is that there is no where to run to. 
We ALL aren't gonna die. But humanity in 30 years vs humanity now will definitely appear in the "fucked" form to me. 
Don't even get me started on fertility rates. >

So survival of the fittest then?  Otherwise known as.....nature. >

There is nothing natural about human caused suffering. >

Especially considering we are intelligent enough to make better choices regarding sustainability.
Edit; word >

Maybe if we thought a little less about manufacturing weapons or the latest consumerist fad, could take a step back and focus on making our lives more sustainable. Egotistical human nature becomes unsustainable at scale. >

The problem is, there’s only so much individuals can currently do. It’s like trying to limit your exposure to PFAS. Because of corporate policy, they’re in our food and water now. They’re in packaging we still use. Why? Because a small group of hyper wealthy people genuinely do not care if we live or die. We need to make sustainable choices easier and more accessible, but that’s hard to do with our current ruling class. >

Of course. The way life is set up, you have little choice among what is set up, and most people for understandable reasons take the practical route - they have a family to feed and other concerns. That being said, people can start from small things - like not littering, everyone can start from making the community they live in a better place, but even that is sometimes not attainable aside from very socially cooperative Swiss communities perhaps. >

Meanwhile, the one being arrested is Greta Thunberg, not the fossil fuel executives who caused this disaster by misleading the world into thinking climate change isn't real while knowing it is real as well as bribing politicians to prevent climate change prevention policies. >

Yeah that was hilarious.  Pigs in their natural environment. >

Trump's gonna try and buy it again >

Literally his only good idea IMO. >

things are picking up pace. >

mhm.. Perhaps those scientists who made climate simulations showing there is a possibility for a runaway effect were right.. >

There was another article that said Siberia is colder than it's been in 20 years. Seems similar to an ElNino/LaNina trend to me. >

This is how most horror movies start. Virus from ancient ice. Least it’s starts on other side of the planet. >

This is how The Last of Us starts lol >

But there's no human caused climate change, right?  /s >

Maybe it will actually become green. >

Will Greenland even exist 1000 years from now? >

It will just be a bit smaller. >

That's interesting.  How do you know? >

Will climate change end human civilization as we know it? >

It will require an intense level of global mobilization and adaptation. Humans are very clever when it comes to adapting to threats, but the lack of food and potable water will cause mass migration. >

I think the word you're looking for is War. Lack of food and water will cause lots of wars. And currently is causing lots of regional conflict. >

The oscillating jet stream has caused record cold in Siberia >

Ok but this confirms that temperatures were actually this warm before - temperatures are not unprecedented >

Sure, temps were also up to 9C warmer than they are now, and much colder too. But it took hundreds of thousands to millions of years to get to that rather than less than 200 years for an increase of 1C. It's not so much the temperature that's the problem as it is the rate at which it is changing. Average global temperature change of 1C over only 200 years is a lot. >

So the 1000 year trend is flat, then? >

hot girl summer all year! >

I wonder what caused it to be that warm 1000 years ago. >

Boy am I excited for the future resource wars in Greenland and the Antarctic >

Don’t forget about the new awesome fight over the Artic! >

The climate started to get warmer in the 1500's. Before that Finland was the smallest nation in Europe, about 1/5 of Denmark. But now the population is equal with Denmark. Nowadays Southern Finland is excellent for farming, almost as good as Northern Germany because of light Nordic summer (enough sun light), and even Southern Lapland fits to farming relatively well. >

Yeah, that was during the last period of Euro warning from around 900 AD to 1420 AD, when the Little Ice Age started, which lasted until near end of 19th century.
The warm period brought immense wealth to Europe, Britain grew wine grapes, population, wealth exploded. High Middle Ages. Previous cold period 400-900 AD, collapse of Roman civilization. In previous warm period, Greek and Rome flourished. Humans have no effect on climate change. >

As someone who works in climate resiliency and renewable energy, it’s always very sad to see people in denial. I’m sure it’s a much more comfortable way to be, but folks in denial are going to be so unprepared and get absolutely fucked by corporations ready to exploit the desperate. >

unfortunately we are all unprepared. Well maybe musk and a few others being the exception >

It’s called weather. It happens. >

I remember 1,000 years ago, it was definitely colder back then, we had just come out of a mini ice age. Oh, the good old days, now it’s 70 in January everywhere.
