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 tend to think we've already passed a few and it's going to get exponentially more fucked up.

You ever just think to yourself

“Wow I really AM going to live to see society collapse under the burgeoning weight of its own destructive greed,” and then stop and think about what you’re doing with your life? Because I do that periodically and it is bone-chilling.

I regret having a kid. He's going to live a long time, maybe, in this world we're destroying. Or die what would be considered too soon. He's too soft and kind for the shit that looks like it's coming.

Anyone who isn’t expecting it to start any day now needs to tell me what drugs they are taking and that I clearly need to be using

We are already in the 6th global mass extinction since the 70s. It's not even the first one caused by an invasive species that spread too fast everywhere.

This headline vastly overestimates my view of the situation.

Tipping points for human habitation. Obviously some other species, too. Maybe one that will evolve into a technological species that can NOT wreck whatever climate has enabled their advancement.
