It’s getting hot in here
So take off all your clothes
A toast to everyone in this thread that decided to not have kids! 🥂
Yeah, it’s great to know we’ll die off!
I mean, it’s also great that we’re not leaving behind offspring to have progressively poorer lives until it’s just Event Horizon: Earth.
If we all had this point of view, that’d be the end of us.
It will be either way
Maybe I’ve consumed too much sci-fi over the years. I’ve always thought the primary goal should be that of making this species a space fairing one. Secondary, they to extend the life of this planet as much as possible. It will die one day, that’s unavoidable.
At the present, it looks like neither are being achieved. It’s all just going to collapse on itself. Maybe the human population 2.0 can resurface and try again after the planet kills almost everyone.
I feel sorry for the younger generation and my peers with children.
Human self-sufficiency in space— what’s needed for any real redundancy-- is for sure >50 and probably >250 years away.
Space settlements are going to need support from Earth for the conceivable future.
Even a destroyed planet from global warming or the middle of the ocean is infinitely more hospitable than the space environment.
On current course, the first planet we’ll have to terraform is Terra.
A total of 106 GW of new coal power projects were permitted, the equivalent of two large coal power plants per week .
The size of coal-fired power generating units varies widely; the actual number of permitted units was 168 at 82 different plant sites.
