'Collectively' is the problem at the moment. Whether it's the bat brick crazy people we have in some of the top jobs in the world, or masses of just angry, negative, miserable people. That's not a mindset conducive of 'helping'
Personally you can just do what you can.
Mate if you think my responses to you calling my post a load of bollox as been taken to task then you have a different definition of that than I. Also, you are still wrong on the ice age thing at 10k years from now too but never mind.Intents and purposes.
Anyway listen for whatever reason you took me task for this bear in mind we can all reduce our carbon footprint.
We won’t be breaking systems but it is the length of that system to react to the sudden influx of CO2 that is unknown. it won’t be 10,000 years though and that is how long before the next ice age will be due.
Regardless, what we should all be doing is reducing our carbon footprint. Having just done a personal audit I was pretty appalled how much of theyvfootprint is accounted for by food even as a vegetarian - to the extent I cannot immediately accept that exceeds my heating nor travel.
Here is a link if anyone is interested in determining where they stand and how they might reduce their baseline footprint and to think about making reductions rather than just blathering on about other people doing it.

LOL. Double-check what? The next ice age? It is supposed to be in about 10k years, but it won't be for reasons I explained. I am not going to respond to this any more, as you are getting a bit ignorant, but if you want to listen to an astrophysicist explain to deGrasse Tyson this exact thing, then here you go ->
Good for you. You should probably take a course in manners to add to your list.
Luckily for them, they won't have far to go to be housed at an immigration centre. There's one just up the road...
You posted a youtube link you haven’t watched?
Yes I watched it all a few times. The money shot is about the 12min mark where he contests that there may be no glacial period for this cycle. It is not a fringe opinion either. It is one held by the Potsdam Institute also and others. It is a theory that has been bouncing around for a decade. And mate, I have not been abusing you, just pointing out you have been rude from the off, which you have been. So, lets leave it there. You disagree with these scientists but I dare say we agree on most other things climate-related.
Fair enough. I think calling me ignorant is worse than my saying your claim is gonads but i am sure everyone else is more sick of this spat than we are so yea let’s focus on the common ground.
I know. You appear to have said the opposite, though it may have been your phrasing. I didn't want to kick things off again.
Do you agree with Rorschach that we have ended the ice age because you should broadcast this on your channel - what is your channel called?Melting permafrost releases significantly more carbon than new growth will capture:
Why Frozen Ground Matters | National Snow and Ice Data Center
Since permafrost contains lots of organic matter like frozen plants and, occasionally, animals within, it holds an enormous amount of carbon.nsidc.org
Oceans are storing less Carbon as temperature rises according to NASA and Science journal ......
How Temperature Affects Carbon Capture
(quick AI searches have been known to be wrong but both these fit with me knowledge of climate crisis (the need to maintain the permafrost, why adding large herbivores to Siberia would be beneficial by soil compression to slow down thawing, the science behind solubility and mixing).
- Lower Solubility: Warm water holds less dissolved gas than cold water. As sea surface temperatures rise, carbon dioxide (\(\text{CO}_{2}\)) becomes less soluble, causing the ocean to absorb less from the air and release (outgas) stored \(\text{CO}_{2}\) back into the atmosphere. [1, 2]
- Reduced Mixing: Warming increases the temperature difference between upper and deeper ocean layers. Melting ice adds fresh water, making surface water lighter. This layering prevents water layers from mixing, trapping carbon at the surface and stopping deep-water circulation from restocking nutrients and carbonates. [1, 2]
- Weakened Sinks: Recent studies show that record-high sea surface temperatures cause regional outgassing—such as in the Northern Hemisphere and North Atlantic—making the global ocean absorb roughly 10% less carbon than expected during peak heat events. [1, 2]
I should add, apparently, that I have a degree and a masters in environmental stuff but not directly carbon and climate. My Youtube channel isn't related to any of this either
