Acidifying oceans are leading to sensory loss in fish. Scientists fear people might be next.

    Evolution is far slower than the climate has been changing. Many species have, and will suffer these consequences. We’ll probably wait until our food supply is threatened more than just a little unseasonable bird flu to really care.

      Crops are already failing. As a species, we will do nothing but panic at the last moment and look to assign blame

      Always reactive, never proactive. That’s humans for you!

        Guarantee we’d be proactive if it were profitable.

          It is very profitable to be proactive. The climate crisis will cost trillions of dollars to “repair” and deal with. Taking the right steps at the right time is way cheaper. We really are too stupid as a species and it’ll be our downfall.

            Yes but corporations won’t pay for that, governments will. If a company could make a buck off of preventative measures, they’d be all over it.

            But is it profitable this quarter?
