It’s sad to see people making jokes about this. The message is rather clear. The amount of times I’ve said this exact thing and gotten down voted before is depressing. People seem to want to ignore the issue. If climate change is as bad as predicted, it will affect everyone, and when it does, it will be too late to reverse it, we can only make it less bad.
Get off your high horse. It’s a joke about layout and styling. It’s the “don’t dead, open inside” meme from way back.
No one is ignoring the issue. It’s plastered on the front page daily. We’ll be just fine without you. You’re not spearheading some unknown cause. Go touch grass.
Yes they are. Plenty of politicians still say it’s fake. Lots of people I know in real life saying it isn’t man made, or it’s not real, or we don’t need to deal with it bcz it’s the coming rapture. If we were paying attention to it, we wouldn’t need scientists doing the research to protest.

it will be too late to reverse it, we can only make it less bad.
It is more sad I’d say. From what I read in mainstream media and social media it is already happening, we’re being fried to death. Lots of animals and parts of the Eco-system died already, yet the fossil fuel addiction continues.
I guess lots of people prefer to look away and do short term planning only.
The planet will be fine. It might suck for humans for a while (especially bad for poor people), but we will succeed in bringing carbon levels back to whatever is best for us (somewhere between pre-industrial and a hundred years ago, I suppose)
Right now the cheapest electricity is renewable. We are making inroads into electrifying transport and running planes and ships on renewable energy. There is money being pumped into research to find low carbon ways of making steel and concrete.
Once electricity is clean and transport is clean we’re a long way towards cleaning up industry. Electricity, transport, and industry are the two biggest wedges in the emissions pie chart
There are clear paths to make agriculture cleaner through renewable fertilisers and treatments for ruminants’ methane emissions (which oxidises the methane to CO2 (which is carbon neutral unless their feed was fertilised with fossil carbon))
I don’t need to educate myself. I live with someone who does climate adaptation research. Hell, we are ignoring the more important issue right now which is ecological collapse. Arguably that’s going to screw us way more than the changes in weather that are coming.
And I’ve read the IPCC reports compiled by scientists, I don’t need to watch youtube videos on the subject.

You must be fun at parties.
A little dark humor is good for you.
I take climate change very seriously. Everybody should. I joke about plenty of other things in my life, but climate change isn’t one of them.
Nothing is off limits for joking.
It’s funny. Learn to live a little before the world ends.
What’s sad is we don’t have to “live a little” before the world ends. We can stop this. We seem to be determined not too though.
How about interpreting like this
There’s our planet to save, noob.
I found no joke in your comment and I’m disappointed.

We are well underway in the 6th mass extinction. You dont know what you’re talking abojt.
The typo indicates you typed that in a huff and a hurry. Please watch the videos I linked. My optimism isn’t completely misplaced.

You’re calling people noobs?
Humanity is in for a rough future, undoubtedly.
I think this post is just about this phenomenon though:
