Today is what the climate change/global warming alarmist have billed as “overshoot day,” and the hashtag contains quite the collection of leftist eco fear mongering.

Yep, for the rest of the year from this day forward, the world is dying, or something:
Today, 1st of August 2018, is #OvershootDay which means that we have emitted more CO₂ than the Earth can absorb in one year, we have fished more fish than the seas can give life to, chopped off more trees than what forests can produce. Until December 31st we live on credit. pic.twitter.com/8DIkNGt2Rd

Earth Overshoot Day, the annual date on which humanity's use of natural resources exceeds what the planet can regenerate in that year, this year falls on August 1 #OvershootDay pic.twitter.com/HeHGoWMtsw

It's #OvershootDay.
That means humans have officially used more natural resources in 2018 than the Earth can renew this year.
It's August 1st.https://t.co/y5f02KlPdV

And of course it gets earlier every year:
It's getting earlier and earlier, which isn't surprising, but also VERY bad news. https://t.co/vfO6xS0xgX

… and every year it is earlier and earlier, only cushioned by those countries who are living within their means. Something must change. #OvershootDay https://t.co/yc4GHh23jN

This year's #OvershootDay is the earliest since environmentalists started tracking it. https://t.co/D8XAZk0Ozj

How does the Earth know to reset its planetary resources every January 1st? Mother Earth is indeed brilliant.
But others are rolling their eyes, even though the lefties will probably blame the skepticism on climate change:
This is embarrassing.

Overshoot Day was just dreamed up by the Hallmark Corporation to sell more Overshoot Day cards. https://t.co/68ZWopUoW4

Overshoot Day will only somehow magically come at a later date once a “green stimulus” Democrat gets elected president and rejoins the Paris Agreement.
