Over the past 65 years, the rate at which atmospheric CO₂ grew, increased from less than 1 ppm/year in the 1960s to 2.5 ppm in the 2010s.

in reply to CassandraVert • • •A planet where billionaires have culled the entire global population leaving it all to themselves?
These fools ignore what happens during a population collapse. Complex society vanishes into war & chaos.
There's no wealth because there's no customers, no vendors, no investors
Nothing but rubble left to rule over
Poverty & famine drives the birth rate off a cliff. Billionaires consume so many resources, leaving nothing for anyone else

In a depopulated world, who refines & delivers the jet fuel? Who manages flights so planes don't crash?
Who repairs & maintains the jet?
Who manufactures the parts?
Who feeds all these workers?
Who provides houses, water, sewage, & electricity for these employees?
Modern life is built on multiple layers of interdependencies that aren't resilient.
As the pandemic demonstrated.
