For about 2% of the world’s amphibian species, it’s already getting too hot to survive in their natural habitats, according to a new study in Nature. If the planet keeps warming unchecked, this number is expected to jump to 7.5% by the end of the century.

    I could say, I do share your anxiety about what will happen in the near future. Still, personally, I don’t like doomerism because imo it restricts our collective imagination towards solutions.

    Apart from that, lets keep in mind that this is an article about amphibians specifically, not about saving the planet or humans in general.

      We don’t need imaginative solutions, we already have the answers.

      This is an open-book test and we continue to fail.

        Right there with you my friend, we already have the answers, we actively chose not to implement them at any point since we’ve known about carbon global warming since around 1896.

        The answers are out there, but one problem is that we - the people - expect that those in power will implement them, and they don’t.

        So, we need imaginative solutions, in order for these fixes to be implemented.
