Science fiction is causing CO2 to increase?I remember reading that around 7 out of 10 people worldwide live on less than $10 a day as of 2015, and that only around 7 pct of people worldwide have college degrees. Meanwhile, oil production per capita peaked back in 1979 and over fifty positive feedback loops involving climate change have been detected the past two decades. CO2 ppm has risen at 14 times the rate; the last time it was this high was around a million years ago, and even then it rose at a rate of 30 ppm every thousand years. Now, it's rising at 50 ppm every 50 years.
If you move your lips while you read it might. (The editorial "you" by the way. )Science fiction is causing CO2 to increase?
My post is in relation to the previous one: science fiction movies predicted flying cars, etc., and they didn't happen. But other science fiction movies predicted combinations of predicaments leading to societal collapse. Are we seeing signs of that now?Science fiction is causing CO2 to increase?
Wait a minute! Are you saying CO2 levels are rising dangerously?!My post is in relation to the previous one: science fiction movies predicted flying cars, etc., and they didn't happen. But other science fiction movies predicted combinations of predicaments leading to societal collapse. Are we seeing signs of that now?
Even the 14-time increase in CO2 is unbelievable. To recap, around a million years ago, CO2 ppm reached around 800 (it maxes out at 300) and it increased at a rate of 30 ppm every one thousand years.
Now, it's rising at a rate of 50 ppm in only 50 years.
Predicting the future is difficult without abandoning the banality of reality so you can offer the drama and adventure that is necessary for narrative entertainment.
