minus-squarejabrd [he/him]hexbear32·4 years agoAnti-natalists are weird to me because they’ll make this argument but then would also make the same argument for any given point in history too. Like is it really about climate collapse or is it something else?? link

minus-squareFriendlyDogman [they/them,he/him]hexbear3·4 years agoWas digging around for some info to help put things in perspective and found this: To find atmospheric CO2 levels equivalent to the present, we have to go back 2.5 million years...This was a time when there was far less ice on Earth; the Arctic was apparently 15 to 20°C warmer than it is today, and sea level was about 20 meters higher than the present. I think current estimates are that modern humans arose something like 300,000 years ago, so this is truly an unprecedented challenge for humanity. link
