What is geoscience?
Geoscience (also called Earth Science) is the study of Earth. Geoscience includes so much more than rocks and volcanoes, it studies the processes that form and shape Earth's surface, the natural resources we use, and how water and ecosystems are interconnected. Geoscience uses tools and techniques from other science fields as well, such as chemistry, physics, biology, and math! Read more...

I'm so tired of this bullshit. I am a doomer. I believe that our current society will collapse, rather sooner than later.
Why? Because the consensus is "we can still avoid the worst if we all come together now and work together!". You mean like we did during the global pandemic? The opposite is happening, we are widening our differences and move apart. We fight each other in stupid wars.
I am a doomer. I live a simple life, choose not to fly for holidays, hardly ever drive and avoid things that I believe are bad for climate if I can. If governments would come together to tackle the issue of global warming, I would appreciate it. Even if I would get taxed harder. Or if my food gets rationed. Man, even if I would be called to voluntarily work on a solution. I am longing for action!
I tell you what is one of the biggest obstacles to avoiding climate breakdown: It's the companies, that sow doubt in science. It's politicians that divide the people. It's the climate deniers, who don't want action.
