Climate change includes both global warming caused by human-produced greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. Even though there have been periods of climatic change throughout history, since the mid-20th century, humans have had an unprecedented impact on the Earth's climate, causing huge problems on a global scale. And one Facebook page perfectly illustrates how many of us feel about it.

It's called Rare and Endangered Memes for Edgy Environmentalists and it gives people exactly what its name suggests.

"This page doesn't adhere to a specific branch of environmentalism or a specific political ideology, although we have hard left leanings," the admins wrote in its 'About' section. "Our goal is simply to save the planet with the power of edgy green meme comics."

Scientists believe that global temperatures will continue to rise for decades to come, largely due to greenhouse gases produced by human activities. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which includes more than 1,300 scientists from the United States and other countries, forecasts a temperature rise of 2.5 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit over the next century.

According to the IPCC, the extent of climate change effects on individual regions will vary over time and with the ability of different societal and environmental systems to mitigate or adapt to change.

I've only been on this rock for 33 years and if someone can't tell that there has been drastic changes in the environment....I really don't know what to say.

The IPCC also predicts that increases in global mean temperature of less than 1.8 to 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (1 to 3 degrees Celsius) above 1990 levels will produce beneficial impacts in some regions and harmful ones in others. Net annual costs will increase over time as global temperatures increase.

"Taken as a whole," the IPCC states, "the range of published evidence indicates that the net damage costs of climate change are likely to be significant and to increase over time."

Of course, we have to do more than create and share memes. But it's a start.

Every single meeting I go to I vote against it...which is tough in a country so dependent on the industry.

I've published research into flooding and explaining to persons that they basically built their commercial properties on a flood plain and that's why they're being flooded is like teaching Greek to a dog.

I worked on a fish farm...and we were struggling to sell the fish but they were actively buying store bought fish...the same fish...from China...that was six months old. Just...think about that for a second.

Capitalism is a broken system, maybe it could work but only with tons of governmental adjustments. It would be better to just switch to something different from different

The blatant disregard of our planet is infuriating. We've got only one and we've got the resources to save it, sadly that means the 1% would need to lose some wealth and by God they wouldn't see that happen! That'd be sacrilege.

This is scientifically incorrect. People of different regions have different skull structures, but I get the point.

Let’s see if overpopulation is a myth in another 50-100 years. Why does capitalism keep producing products? To make money - sure. To be able to sell to more and more people as the population keeps growing - definitely. We have a people problem, Mr. Institute. This BS about having enough food and resources is just not true. And if there are 15 billion people on the planet, where are they going to live? And what are they going to get to eat? There’s only so much land that can be farmed, that’s why 95% of us occupy only 10% of it.

There's a hill being developed near my house and I have been sorely tempted to sneak over and plant a bunch of trees in the dead of night.

Accurate. "Oh no the straws are killing animals....stop using straws! You're so bad if you use straws" Proceeds to keep funding deforestation and plastic products.

I guess this person is forgetting that it was the baby boomers who first implemented recycling programs and were pushing for laws against industrial pollution way back in the 60s and 70s.

They're not forgetting. They're simply taking the more convenient and feel good option of laying the blame on others.

Will everyone stop blaming previous generations. It is not their fault, sure you should realise? It is the fault of the greedy, wealthy, rich, brainwashing everyone, now many people know better but NOT because they are more caring but because information is so much easier to come by.

I don't accept this. I know both my parents are filled with regret for not doing more and anger for being lied to. They worry about their grandchildren and great grandchildren.

And it’s the new generation who are going out and tagging everything in the wild. Our national parks have been tagged people have been rock stacking which is also detrimental to the environment and painting rocks and putting them out in the environment where they don’t belong and where they have a possibility of doing environmental damage. No baby boomers doing any of it. Half of our county was saved because of people in my generation the open space that we have around the entire nine counties you’re where I live is thanks to baby boomers. Earthday - baby boomers. Etc etc etc

While I agree that BB aren't the cause of all evil and not in their entirety to blame, I will say that tagging trees is not exactly on the same level as poisoning rivers and oceans with oil and oil-derivates.

Honest-to-god, I've thought about this. I'm not a baby boomer. I didn't expect to see retirement because of climate change. But I'm getting closer now, and might be able to hang on for 12 years. I have thought about climate change approximately 325 days of the year (at least) for the last 15 years. Not enough people care, and we now have a guided democracy in the US, so the politicians don't care what we want for the most part. I think about my son, but it's beyond that. It's the future of many animal species, and the future of all humans. Maybe I want to die before things really go to h**l. (It will start with economic crises, then war. I mean, it already has. Look to Syria. One of the biggest tragedies of all human history.)
