I am glad that I survived oil outage, sour rain, the Ozone hole, mass famine because of overpopulation. All in a lifetime. I must have had sheer luck.

A bear is chasing you. “Glad I survived crossing a dangerous road, smoking a cigarette and unprotected sex”

>>jhoech+(OP)
There was massive concerted effort to stop acid rain and ozone depletion. Maybe we should try that for the climate crisis if we want similar success at preventing catastrophe.

Recently I survived covid exponential deaths apocalypse and Al Gore's sea levels rising in 2016.

Your list is a 1.75. What's occurring and coming fast is a 9.9. Thanks for sharing the kind of naivete that helped get us here.

Amazing how the ozone hole repaired itself despite China releasing thousands of tons of CFCs.

Covid was no joke, 3 million people died despite the entire world grinding to a halt and hiding in their houses for months. Sea levels are up 10 cm since Gore was VP and it's accelerating.

The article doesn’t seem to support your claim.

“After the ban came into force, global concentrations of CFC-11 declined steadily until about 2012. However, last year scientists discovered the pace of that slowdown slowed by half between 2013 and 2017. Because the chemical is not naturally occurring, the change could only have been produced by new emissions.”

“If emissions do not decline, it will delay the recovery of the Antarctic ozone hole, possibly for decades”

61 milion people died in 2023 with and without covid. Al Gore predicted 20ft by 2016 not 10cm.

>>jhoech+(OP)
Also you’re in what, likely the top 10-20% of the wealthiest people on Earth?

>>jhoech+(OP)
Yeah, but are you building a bunker in Hawaii? Because Mark Zuckerberg is building a bunker in Hawaii.

> Al Gore predicted

I see no predictions by him.

What I do see are examples of him selectively quoting other people and that he was in turn selectively quoted himself.

This is also why you shouldn't rely on politicians for anything.

CFC-11 is one specific CFC, you need to look at all of them. Overall they’re increasing, yet the ozone layer has continue to “heal”.

Al Gore got Nobel prize for PowerPoint presentation.

>>slaw+Uq
"Political satire became obsolete when Henry Kissinger was awarded the Nobel peace prize."

Which was extra ironic, given Kissinger reportedly said to Soviet ambassador Anatoly Dobrynin "I figure it like Groucho Marx said 'any club that took him in he would not want to join'. I would say that anything Lê Đức Thọ is eligible for, there must be something wrong with it." while Lê Đức Thọ declined the prize, on grounds that such "bourgeois sentimentalities" were not for him and that the Paris Peace Accords (for which he and Kissinger had been awarded the prize) were not being adhered to in full.

25 mln of excess death.

>>slaw+bd
No matter how you spin this covid brought up 25 mln of excess death. That massive event, which is so foreign to "normies" minds that the majority just ignore the number.

>>Someon+Iz
Where did you get that number? I initially just looked up WHO's estimate which turns out quite the lowball compared to what everyone else is listing, but most sources I can find seem to say something around 5-9M. I suppose it most depends on just how much China is fudging their numbers since they had the most people exposed at the worst time.

right here: 15 mln between 2020 and 2022 (https://www.who.int/data/stories/global-excess-deaths-associ...). For better, more up to date data check analysises by Ariel Karlinsky and The Economist.
