Activists say the research marks a growing awareness connecting everyday life to the toxic contamination of the planet and ongoing harm to the climate. More research is examining how women are disproportionately impacted.
Actually there is a serious risk that Earth turns into Venus.
I’m sorry, but no. There’s not. Not only is there not a serious risk, there’s not even a slight chance. Even if we burned every drop of oil and bit of coal and released all the methane deposits, the earth still wouldn’t even be close to reaching the conditions required for runaway greenhouse effect. Not for about 2 billion years, when it’s estimated the sun’s output will have increased sufficiently to vaporize much of our oceans.
I get that climate change is serious - my graduate thesis centered around it and carbon cycling - but please don’t spread bullshit. We have enough issues to deal with already without making up more. Please fact check yourself and others.
