Same amount of green.
No trees in your vision? The only difference seems to be that you have realized that you won’t own a penthouse at the top of a skyscraper when you are old.
Ahh, chicken little the world is not cooked yet. But it’s close.
When you have not enough food, when the water shortages start and when the world temps stay so high we can’t bear it, well then itll be to late to fight back.
Good news is, the world will heal when the virus dies.
It’ll be closer to Hokuto no Ken/Fist of the North Star, except instead of 199X, 209X.
We do not know why we are here. We do not know who built the Silo. We do not know why everything outside the Silo is as it is. We do not know when it will be safe to go outside. We only know that day is not this day.
The problem isn’t climate change itself, or rising temps.
The problem is the SPEED of these changes.
We are seeing in just a century what previously took hundreds of thousands of years. This imparts an immense amount of inertia that no other prior warming event has ever come close to. Even if we were to stop human CO2 production immediately, the inertia will continue to warm the planet and trigger feedback loops for the next several centuries… environmental feedback loops that will continue to pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere even if there are no humans left.
Plus, it is not allowing the planetary biosphere to adapt in time. Prior warming events were so slow that ecosystems were able to migrate across entire continents to follow the temperatures and rainfalls that best suited them. This requires tens of thousands of years at minimum to achieve. So the very plants and ecosystems that are meant to “put the brakes” onto any change are being destroyed in real-time. in a century or so there will be no significant biosphere left to pull CO2 out of the air faster than it is going into the atmosphere.
The possibility for a full-blown Venus Scenario before 2200 becomes greater every year. Warming continues to accelerate. More and more CC events start kicking off “well ahead of schedule”. And thanks to the Parasite-Class lust for wealth locking us into the worst-case-scenario “business as usual” path, we are truly fucked.

I feel like humanity has already taken some inadvertent steps to address this point by accidentally spreading the most aggressive, virulent species across the globe as invasives.
I try to plant natives where I live, to help the native wildlife that’s currently here. But I have this small sliver of hope that maybe at least the worst of the invasive species will survive what’s coming.

I appreciate that these tipping point events also accelerate global warming by putting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, but I have to think that once humans are gone, there could still ultimately be a significant slowdown? I gotta review the math.
People also act like all hope is lost. We could start scrubbing CO2 from the atmosphere tomorrow if the political will was there.
I think the dome in the top looks about right.
You thought it would look bleak but it’ll probably look like Mexico?
Nowhere to run, it’s all undone.
Everything hurns. Everything burns.
People generally think the good times are over and things always used to be better in the good old days. It is part of the human condition.
The final reckoning, the threat of nuclear war, the millennium bug, some ancient calendar ending, COVID and many more. There’s always a next global catastrophy coming our way. It’s ok, it will either happen or not or something in between. Or something entirely different that we didn’t see coming.
We’ve never dealt woth wide spread climate change like this before. Pretending like this is the same as the other stuff is disingenuous.
To me this meme was not clearly about climate change. Just a vision of the future. There’s no buildings left in the bottom picture. I thought it was about wars and destruction or whatever
I don’t see the contrast… both images could perfectly coexist. Both look like a barren hellscape.
