Planet earth is not prepared for rapidly growing climate risks.
Europe is certainly not prepared for climate change but I have the feeling that the rest of the world might be even further behind.
The planet will be fine don’t worry, it’s mostly us humans that are going to have a problem.
That’s what people mean when they say planet earth, though. It’s referring to the animals, not the non-biological matter.
Humans as a species will be fine. Human civilization and human individuals will be pretty fucked.
Yes, them too of course but others will probably thrive. The planet has been through worse times than these (see: dinosaurs). It’s a big rock and it won’t collapse because we’re fucking with it.
It’s habitability that’s the real problem.
Indeed, the existence of life on Earth as a whole is not threatened by climate change (probably not even humanity). I’d consider it a matter of ethics regarding the life of individuals though.
The planet does not care. He will survive with no problem. Human society … well.
Following all kinds of politics, local, domestic and international, it’s extremely frustrating to watch how one project after another gets approved without even considering the pledges that where already made.
It’s not taken seriously at all. Apparently biodiversity is a potted plant along road expansions, ground water means drainage in the parking lot and trees are obstructing the seaside views.
I live on a hill in the middle of an island. I look forward to a billionaire making me an offer .
If not, it will be easy to fortify .
Get yourself a very long stick to push away any sneaky billionaires trying to climb on your island. You might also want to invest in naval mines in case they arrive by yacht.
Is the hill tall enough?
How deep is it gonna get ?
Depending on the scenario you can find any number between 30 and 100cm in our lifetime.
Let it rain !
