Humanity Unites
The ever coming together of the human animal in the face of all of the issues that have been caused by humanity is truly an exceptional inspiration to the universe.
Such incredible inventions from the adult community such as "9 months pregnant porn" & allowing young kids to have access to extreme explicit sites is just one example of the outstanding nature that is human.
The human history is by far the most superior example of any living species ever to exist - it is beyond unreal.
May it all long continue...

Scientists putting together the latest global assessment of climate change science revealed that a better understanding of the role of clouds in a warmer world mean a key assumption that has held steady for 30 years may be wrong, meaning the Earth’s atmosphere is more sensitive to changes in greenhouse gases than previously thought.
The early indications are that business-as-usual predictions of the world reaching a disastrous 3C of warming by 2100 should now be revised upwards to a catastrophic 5C. This would also mean that the already very difficult goal of keeping the temperature rise below 1.5C is beyond humanity’s ability.

Scientists studying this year’s prolonged heatwave in Siberia through winter and spring linked it to fires across massive areas and a huge diesel spill from tanks sinking in thawing permafrost. Temperatures reached 38C this weekend when normal highs are 20C.
The Arctic is already warming faster than most other places and any acceleration is very bad news because of the large amounts of methane that could be released from thawing permafrost and warming seabeds. Methane is 50 times more potent than carbon dioxide as a climate change gas and one research group predicts the thawing Arctic could add 10-18 per cent to climate change over this century.

The extreme record-breaking heat that has baked Siberia for several months should serve as an “incredibly loud alarm bell” of the need to adapt to climate change, say researchers.

Humanity to the rescue:

Rather than benefiting the environment, large-scale tree planting may do the opposite, two new studies have found.
One paper says that financial incentives to plant trees can backfire and reduce biodiversity with little impact on carbon emissions.
A separate project found that the amount of carbon that new forests can absorb may be overestimated.
The key message from both papers is that planting trees is not a simple climate solution.
