>>12912178Funnily enough, I specified in soil science.
>I'm not so sure that humans will be able to adapt to circumstances, but in any case it won't be a smooth transition which (anecdotally) people seem to have an idea about (ie, we'll just move away from the equator and farm land enriched by glacial melt).What most people seem to miss is that soils are vastly different when it comes to pH, Nutrient availability, water retention, physical properties. I've heard argument like "Yeah if all fails I'll just move to formerly `cold places´ (siberia, argentina, Canada, skandinavia) and will start a farm there. - no big deal" before as well.
I think that it is definitely not natural. Anthropocenic activity spiked after the industrial revolution and there are factors that are most often ignored.
- Historic and ongoing Destruction of Wetlands and Peatlands: Large CO2 sinks getting destroyed - leading to CH4, CO2, NOX release into the atmosphere.
>At the same time, peatlands are the largest natural terrestrial carbon store. Worldwide, the remaining area of near natural peatland (>3 million km2) contains more than 550 gigatonnes of carbon, representing 42% of all soil carbon and exceeds the carbon stored in all other vegetation types, including the world’s forests. This area sequesters 0.37 gigatonnes of CO2 a year. https://www.iucn.org/resources/issues-briefs/peatlands-and-climate-changeBut people just had to colonize peatlands.
- Rise in global trade and transportation creates a demand for fossil fuel that seems unstoppable. As a consequence natural environments are destroyed on top of the already high carbon emissions made by tankers, planes, cars, trucks cruising the oceans. Dont get me started on cruise ships.
- Globalization leading to sixth extinction - because of neozoa creating pressure on intact systems, introducing pathogenes.
It's a dumpster fire, really - and I haven't even started ranting.
