Human-induced climate change is causing lakes to heat up rapidly, affecting both surface and deeper water layers, and threatening ecosystems.

Sorry but this is just such a weak ass article which you can only assume was ai generated and reviewed by someone who was either too lazy or stupid to care.

Nothing new, useful or interesting. We are all very much aware of the major issues at hand and it really sucks, but to basically write an article that can be summed up in a single sentence: “Lake habitats are different than oceans or rivers because species cannot go anywhere else”.

Just lazy all around.

Also this:

Steps to reduce lake warming

Tackling lake warming requires both individual and collective action. Here are some steps to mitigate this issue:

  • Reduce greenhouse gas emissions by using energy-efficient appliances and renewable energy.
  • Support afforestation and reforestation projects, as trees absorb CO2. Implement green infrastructure like green roofs and urban forests to lower temperatures.
  • Enhance water conservation efforts by fixing leaks and using water-saving fixtures. Advocate for clean energy policies and international agreements like the Paris Agreement. Increase public awareness through community programs and education.
  • Support research and monitoring of lake temperatures. Protect wetlands and riparian zones to absorb heat and pollutants.

It forgot about ecoterrorism towards major polluting companies, who are the biggest issue.

It’s just AI generated click bait. “We have 10 minutes to stop global warming or we’re all fucked.”

Yes

“We have 10 minutes to stop global warming or we’re all fucked.”

Kinda, but more like

“We have 10 minutes to stop global warming or we’re all fucked.”

Now we just can try to limit the degree of fucked, as not to get completely fucked.

Discussion of climate, how it is changing, activism around that, the politics, and the energy systems change we need in order to stabilize things.

As a starting point, the burning of fossil fuels, and to a lesser extent deforestation and release of methane are responsible for the warming in recent decades:

How much each change to the atmosphere has warmed the world:

Recommended actions to cut greenhouse gas emissions in the near future:

Anti-science, inactivism, and unsupported conspiracy theories are not ok here.
