I am incredibly apprehensive on the high amount of discrete greenhouse effects and carbon footprint emissions polluting the air we breathe insignificantly.

With cognitive nuclear power plant and refineries in fossil fuels, I feel we’ll be all dead in a few weeks.

    how long do you think we have until the heat death of the universe?

    The universe is not threatened by our heat wave(s) and global warming. If anything, the universe (which is quite larger than our little planet) will die out of cold. Edit: in many, many, (many,) billions years… don’t worry about getting a cold.

    I feel we’ll be all dead in a few weeks.

    Like all of us, you started dying the day you were born. That is not what should worry you: dying is OK if not great as we’re devised to be replaced by younger people… like we replaced our elderly people.

    Fear doesn’t help much. What can you and what do you do to help prevent that, is the only question you should ask yourself. It’s the only one my spouse and I are asking ourselves. Because we can’t force people to change, because we don’t decide for everyone else but we’re still allowed to decide for ourselves, we try to make the less stupid choices we can in our everyday live.

    Climate change on Earth has nothing to do with the heat death of the universe

    That (if it happens) is trillions of years in the future

    Yes, the climate on Earth is heading in a bad direction at the moment driven largely by human activity, but we will not all be dead in a few weeks

      I think the big problem with that is our universe is like that apple Newton saw falling.

      With the apple, Newton saw it hit the ground and stop. Because of vastly different timespans, we’ll never see the apple hit the ground. From our perspective it’s either accelerating to terminal velocity (and we’d think it would always accelerate) or it’s reached terminal velocity (and we’d think the speed is constant).

      If we could see the even larger picture past that, we’d see that we’re not the only apple falling, and there’s more both on the ground and in the tree. Also that there’s a shit ton of other apple trees.

      Our universe isn’t special, even if it’s unique.

      Leading theory is when two planes collide, it creates a universe with random physics, that exists for a while, and then is essentially gone.

      There’s a bunch of those “planes” (2d, not airplanes) out there in the nothingness. As far as any of us can tell, they don’t have a shelf life and will keep on creating universes.

      Our universe dying doesn’t mean the end of everything. Just one of many fireworks fading away in what looks like an empty sky.

      “Trillions of years” is a blink of an eye on some timescales.

    Maybe OP believes we’re causing the Earth to give off so much radiant heat that we’re contributing to the acceleration of the universal heat death!
