Life exists on planet earth for a good reason, it exists because the conditions to support life have developed over millions of years. I don't think we can mess with this balance without consequences, we are already seeing these due to human activity causing climate change.

The Earth is heating up and there is more than enough science to prove this, as a result the climate is changing. We were advised by the science to avoid a 1.5 degree rise in temperatures, which we have FAILED to do. Now this is what may happen if we fail the next step.
This isn't being reported on BBC news, as far as I am aware, granted it is like to be a tropical storm by the time it reaches land, nevertheless it will still be a devastating storm.
Hurricanes are NOT normal in California.
Meanwhile Canada still burns! As far as I am aware, Yellowknife is facing serious damage and probably loss of life.
Vital Atlantic Ocean system could collapse sooner than previously thought
We have been seeing this on the news recently and this was posted to the Fediverse on 31/7/2023. Interesting article, we are on the bring of something very bad indeed if this happens. Read more here.
This appears to be so we can increase our energy security. This of course is garbage, we can produce our energy needs using renewable means, we just need to get this capacity connected to the national grid. We just need to ban the sale of gas appliances, retrain people in the newer tech so we can minimise job losses and find more sustainable ways of doing things.
At the same time, we are trying to tell other countries to cut down on fossil fuels, we need to lead by example.
This is why I use fedi, intelligent people, having intelligent conversations and discussions, encouraging critical thinking and understanding of the science, hence recent posts on here about theory and hypothesis.
This link was posted to the fediverse. An very hard hitting article on the ITV news website, spelling out the reality of climate change and the damage we are doing to our planet as humans. You can read the article here.
I think when 11,000 scientists are all saying the same thing it is time we woke up and listened.
The fediverse seems to be about the only place that we can hold sensible, science and evidence based discussions. People are actually LEAVING mainstream social media, joining the fediverse to discuss as they feel safer and are not being subjected to the abuse they face on mainstream social media.
Report in nature, that Top climate scientists are sceptical that nations will rein in global warming. I think these warnings are really plausible, as we have seen much higher than average temperatures this winter, well above this 1.5 degree rise we are meant to be avoiding.
The fact so many scientists don't think we are going to even meet these targets is also worrying.
This was posted to the Fediverse I commented to make the point about higher than normal temperatures.
