Humans have doomed themselves to fail for a Century. We can't quit our fighting and squabbling enough to save ourselves.

And here we are …..

Worshiping the Golden Calf has always led to problems.

Fuels did do all that revolutionised the world, now it’s time to do something else

No need to debate precedence, just the need to act: every country; every person - this is an emergency. Much climate change is already ‘baked in’. Re-inventing our energy policy will ameliorate our grandchildren’s and their grandchildren’s future. Must act now, as we’ve been told for decades now.

Proof that humanity’s greatest talent isn't innovation, but the ability to stare at a warning light for over a century and collectively decide it’s just a "feature" of the system.

They’ve always known…

Imagine if we would have listened back then?!?

As long as trump can make money on coal he does not care

1912 is wild. Svante Arrhenius had the math. We had a century of perfect information and chose... this. The lag between knowing and acting might be the actual story.

The wild part: we had the physics nailed down by 1896 (Arrhenius). A century of "we know" followed by a century of "but what if we don't act yet." Inertia isn't ignorance, it's incentive structure.

👆👀👀👀👀

These new fangled theories.

Arrhenius calculated the Greenhouse Effect in 1896

"...in a few centuries"

Yes fossil fuels have paid billions to bury the findings

Amazing!

18,000 years ago the glaciers started melting as earth began warming out of ice age. It’s been happening for awhile

The first to prove the "power" of CO2 was Eunice Foote in 1886. In 1896, Arrhenius related the rising of CO2 in the atmosphere to the rising of global temperature (and was awarded a Nobel prize).

700 years ago they knew it was bad. "In 1306, King Edward I of England passed what’s often considered the first environmental law, when he made a proclamation banning coal burning." They didn't understand the details back then, but we still have idiots who don't believe it.

Two words. Tetraethyl lead

"advanced civilization" Nope.

This looks like a fake...

They knew this effect over 100 years ago. They mathed it.

And we still aren’t addressing the issue. At least not here in the US.

This was 5th grade science as I was educated. Just saying.

The insanity continues

To be fair, in 1912, there were fewer than a million autos in the whole country, so the impact of many millions of cars burning gasoline hadn't been foreseen.

Coal is the most carbon intensive fossil fuel. It would have happened even sooner if coal was the only fuel we used.

And more than a century and a truck load of extra data later, there are many that still deny it. The ones that push climate change as a "hoax" are the ones making money off what causes the warming. They probably know, but don't care.

Just like fucking tobacco, cigarette companie lobbyists. Coal industry, Oil industries, chemical industries, predatory capitalism is why we must have unions and enforce anti-trust laws!!!

Isn't it amazing that what the world has denied for so many years has turned out to be true? Who would have thought it???

Send this to the grand old pedos.I know they already know - it’s all about the money Lebowski! They knew for a long time that cigarette caused cancer!

Investigation has proven this prescient.

And prior to that. This was with the oil industry in its infancy but growing up fast and the nuclear age in the womb but ready to explode on to us like Alien.

Well Republicans didn't want to hear it back then and they still going here cause they own all the refineries so they don't care just like the weapon trees they own most of those too so they don't care that pro-war and pro destruction we need to eradicate that off Earth

on the other had, increased water evaporation dues to CO2 warming amplifies the warning, like melting ice pols amplifies it by lowering albedos of earth.

I have heard reports from a similar newspaper story dating back to 1888 but haven't been able to track it down. As of today we will reach 2.2 degrees by 2100. All glaciers will be gone from Europe, the USA and the Andes. By 2050 droughts will cause mass migration in the USA and with food shortages..

Wow! If we'd only started then perhaps it wouldn't be 91° at 10pm here in Tulsa.

News the American petro-dollar, doesn’t want to know about.

A century ago ! Our government is pathetic blinded by capitalism and greed.

More proof that it is a very T H I N blanket of .017% of the atmosphere and not much a threat vs The sun spots!

It's amazing how much MAGA hates renewable energy. It takes true idiots to not understand it.

Shame our reaction could not be a little quicker. Looking at this nice cool summer (wait til you see what's coming!) I reckon we'll only start really reacting when profits get seriously impacted. Hope mankind survives.. .

Coincidentally, this was two months after the Titanic sank.

Yep we've all known for quite some time but we did the human thing of burying our heads in the sand till its too late then oops. We deserve everything that's coming our way. My only question is are we still gonna just sit on social media,electing the same people who sell us out to big oil n all rest

sadly this is true but probably got little attention as it was a New Zealand paper. The Waitemata and Kaipara Gazette (officially the Rodney and Otamatea Times, Waitemata and Kaipara Gazette) was a historic New Zealand regional newspaper.

centuries....sounds like the first order term was bad enough, but there wasn't enough data to estimate the second order, interaction, and feedback effects.

In case you thought this was a new issue dreamed up by the "woke."

The imbecile does not care. Period. He got (at least) one billion a year ago from the fossil fuel industry, to promote fossil fuels.

Maybe he is just a very, very slow learner.

It was from an article in ‘Popular Mechanics’ which was reprinted around the world.

They knew

FOX FUCKING NEWS

Many people knew better, others ignored the facts to pad their wallets.

Replace "centuries" with "decades".

FIGHT BACK AGAINST THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION TO PRESERVE OUR CLIMATE FUTURE EARTH JUSTICE #EarhJustice

RACHEL CARLSON WROTE THE BOOK "SILENT SPRING" AND NO ONE WANTED TO PAY ATTENTION TO HER WARNINGS ABOUT NOT PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT BECAUSE OF CORPORATION GREED... AND MOST OF ALL BECAUSE SHE WAS AN INTELLIGENT WOMAN WHO KNEW WTH SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THEY COULDN'T HAVE 'THAT'.. SMH..

Texaco: "Hold my beer."

I disagree, I think climate change is a scam

And there are sooo many people that either don’t believe in it, or don’t care enough to make any effort.

World’s most enduring conspiracy of greed; fossil fuels worse than tobacco industry.

maybe in another 100 years we might get off coal

Wait til you see all the fossil fuel companies’ internal studies in the early 70s!

fun fact...the continent of Europe went into full blown existential panic in 1911 after news from a returning expedition that an enormous ice island had carved off of the ice sheet in Antarctica. This mindlessness is nothing new.

Oil companies are explicitly responsible for the hellish heat domes, tornadoes, and sea level rise.
