      There are literally billions of lives at stake. Being a doomer is reactionary. Complaining that nothing is possible is reactionary. Doing nothing except asking for a bamboo straw once in a while is reactionary. I guarantee that there are people organizing where ever you live. Join them, help them. I know shit sucks, I really get it but please, don't do this doomer shit. Nothing will change if we give up.

        It's not doomer to admit that this shit is really really bad and the best likely outcome is still bad, it's only doomerism if you don't kick against the pricks who did this shit

        That said this COVID shit is making it very hard for orgs to stay together and engaged locally at least

      I believe total area of icecaps over the course of the year. By now, all previous years had their upswing but we are still waiting

        It is extent, not area (see here for the difference - but basically: the former provides a boolean value - ice or no ice - based on a threshold; both are useful measures during the melting season), and only on the Siberian side of the arctic, but yes.

        As for anyone interested in following the impact of the rapidly unfolding catastrophe that is climate change on the cryosphere, the ASIF Forums are excellent and full of knowledgeable people.

        So I'm guessing the reason they're smallest at the fall equinox is it takes a while for the summer heat to actually melt them?

          The arctic ice is lowest at the fall equinox because that is at the very end of the summer / period of arctic daylight, after it has melted all summer; after said equinox, the arctic is plunged in darkness until march, allowing the ice to refreeze.

    It’s fine if you just don’t think about all the methane hydrates in the Siberian sea.

    I'm imagining a morning show host trying to look chipper while broadcasting from a helicopter above a completely-flooded Manhattan.

    I unironically want to live in Sibiria; I'll move there once I've saved enough and have a dose of Polonium ready to off myself. I'll take advantage of the sinking temperatures until it's the right time to leave this dimension.
