All the billions of lobsters dead and mass die off of species around the world the next few years as the planet heats up within the next 7 years is breathtaking.
Atlantic Ocean current is struggling to stay currenting. Honestly looks like the tides around the world will change from the warmer climates .. and now to tack onto this methane is starting to creep up as the #1 reason of planetary changes due to ice melting around the globe.. The world is in a scary estate over the next few years as we make the changes to renewable energy resources. Some are to ignorant to change until we have mass starvation periods in the next few years. Than what?
Exactly. Protecting the largest animals won't matter in a few years when all the corals and microfauna disappear due to ocean warming, triggering devastating chain effects in all ecosystems.
I'm not sure if I've watched too many science documentaries, but the future looks grim from any standpoint. Even if this accord is upheld and protects the largest species, I'm afraid it's too little, too late to stop the environmental catastrophe.
The only thing that might slow things down is if we very aggressively stop burning fossil fuels. This is a political and economic problem that everyone needs to agree on, yet we can't even stop killing each other, so I'm not that hopeful.
Optimistic view: the populace wakes the fuck up and demands that the madness stops, and we introduce carbon taxes.
Pessimistic view: the populace decides that any cut to their consumption and lifestyle is unacceptable and gets behind geo engineering in a big way. Next thing we are pumping new stuff into the atmosphere at one place to shield us from the sun, while at the same time pumping in ever increasing amouts of methane and CO2 thanks to moral hazard.
Left field view: A nuclear war wipes out a large part of the population, and the planet breathes a sight of relief.
