Dogs cause global warming confirmed!
The amount of methane my dog emits should classify our home as a Superfund site.
US Mitary wants to know your location
Have to wonder if these are the same time of year.
Like... probably. Climate change has definitely caused this much damage and worse. But one should always be skeptical of images on the internet, doubly so if you agree with them.
Don't know about the other ones, but glaciers don't go through yearly cycles.
I'm beginning to notice a correlation between new iphones and climate change...

to be fair there is a lot of causation there
I mean in a round about, somewhat symbolic way...
They used to say "go see the glaciers before they no longer exist" and that time came faster than people expected.
We are so, so boned.
Glaciers have been melting and reforming since the earth existed, we aren't special. The climate goes through stages
I guess the current 'stage' is human-induced ecological collapse. Just another chapter in the earth's story.
If your point is, "the climate changes anyway, humans will be fine", I strongly disagree.
If your point is, "once the Earth kills off all of those pesky humans, it will recover from this damage within the next ~million years and will ultimately be fine", I agree, unfortunately we won't be here to see it.
This is like saying, "people die, that happens."
Yes... But the average lifespan is around 78 years, not 4.
Human bodies slowly die over the course of 75ish years, so by your logic if you see someone stabbing the shit out of someone there is no reason to stop it because naturally they are going to die anyway and we shouldn’t take any action to stop the person from dying?
I get that we aren't special and the earth will be here, but we are responsible for accelerating green house gasses by pulling it out of the ground. The cycle is going too fast for the other life on earth to adapt. In the past, like the cold that caused the dark ages was because of volcanoes and so on.
Ok so lets just go with it So The earth goes through cycles where it becomes uninhabitable for humans. You think we should just let it happen?
This is the dumb shit about the climate deniers arguments. Even if you don't think humans are causing it, we should be working towards preserving earth in a state that humans are acclimated to. Fund climate research and ways to SLOW change if nothing else.
Brain damaged.
But... Jobs!!!
yes they do tend to change over the course of a few hundred thousand or even millions of years. not over a 10 yeah gap
Are you…actually this stupid? That’s incredible!
Being this stupid practically makes them a cryptid
Cryptid would imply they're not everywhere lol
Let me dream
The speed is the issue.
Right right... all that coal and oil that sat for hundreds of millions years was going to just all burn itself in a measly 200 years.
Our short lived civilizations and their survival, and our much much shorter lives and the lives of our direct descendants, can't be stretched to fit into geological timescales. So I'm not really seeing the point you're trying to make if there even is one.
Yeah, but we're causing this stage of heading towards making it no longer able to sustain life for us humans.
Even the Dog is sad..
I thought the second picture was just zoomed out and was like "damn, the earlier phones were so much better!"
But then realized that this is a side-by-side comparison of the same exact spot showing the same specific section of a blue glacier. And it's.... I just realized that growing up, I saw glaciers in the mountains that are now probably entirely gone. That's insane to think about. That glaciers just... Won't...be anymore. I wonder what the ramifications and implications of that are? OH WAIT WE ALREADY FUCKING KNOW
The iPhone peaked at 6 anyway. Let's save the planet and go back to using old phones.
The last pic might be a bit controversial. That lake destroyed one of the most beautiful places in Utah with countless ancient artifacts lost forever. I would love to see Glen Canyon someday without it being under a lake. Hayduke lives.
Last pic? I can only see one pic of a glacier in Norway.
What app are you using?
Sync. Just opened it in Boost, now there are more pics
i use raccoon, i can recomend
Dang that dog ate all that ice and drank so much lake
Look at his face, he'd do it again too!
On the walk up to that glacier there are markers that show where it used to be on the path up. If I remember right it used to be a mile long from the point that photo is taken from only 40 years ago.
Gosh, that's a striking mental image. I don't have words to adequately describe how I feel right now. It's the same thing I felt when I looked at the images in the OP, except distilled down and super concentrated
I visited a glacier up here in Canada a couple years ago, it was very cool but also really sad compared to how it was a decade ago.
:(
that hippy looking doggo needs a haircut and a job.
And the sign said, "long-haired hippy doggo", need not apply

Man, I miss my iPhone 4S.
